RE: Advice on how to proceed with my Spotify issue

2019-11-22 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
It certainly won't hurt to write to accessibil...@apple.com and describe the 
issue, you can always tell them you could provide a screen recording if they 
can't reproduce this or say there is no issue.
I would also include what Spotify said about this being a Voiceover issue and 
not a Spotify issue.

Subject: Advice on how to proceed with my Spotify issue

Hi all,
I wrote to the list a few weeks ago saying that I can no longer read 
descriptions of playlists on Spotify, although I was able to with older 
versions of the app. I have also posted to apple vis, and put out a few posts 
in various facebook communities. A small number of people agreed that they were 
having the same experience, many people ranted on about unrelated issues, and 
one person even said they were not experiencing this issue with the 13.3 IOS 
beta. I have raised this issue with Spotify twice, using their online customer 
support chat feature. The first time, the person said they would escalate it. 
The second time, I was told that they could not see how they had impacted any 
accessibility features, and that what I should really do is contact apple 
accessibility, as it's a voiceover issue, not a spotify one.

I do not know what to do next. Do I indeed contact Apple? And, is there 
anything I can tell spotify about in terms of what they ought to be doing 
differently with the text of the playlist descriptions? i.e.
could it be that the text is too small? no one seems to know what to do when I 
say "the text is visibly there but voiceover will not read it".

Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated. I know I may just need to cut 
my losses, but it's also very frustrating to feel as though I'm getting nowhere.

Thanks, all, and happy Friday.
