Re: Pandora Response to accessibility
I doubt that it was real Scot. Anybody who would willingly write anything like that and actually have the guts to send it certainly would know that their days at that job would be numbered and it's not like jobs are a dime a dozen. I think it more likely it's somebody's sick idea of a joke. Regards, Alan I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet. Please click on: HTTP://WWW.home.earthlink.net/~alanandsuzanne/ There, you'll find free files of my arrangements and performances played on the Yamaha Tyros 1 keyboard.

RE: Pandora Response to accessibility
Hi folks, I wish people would do a little research before posting what I think is misinformation about an app. IN this case, I am referring to Pandora. First, the subject lines seems to indicate that the app's most recent update made Pandora inaccessible, when this is not true. In fact, when I opened the app on my phone, I was able to see song lyrics, the album name and so forth which is very helpful. The only change I noticed is in the station name tab, one has to have hints enabled in VoiceOver to hear the station name. It was a little off-putting at first, but I usually have hints on so it's not a big deal. As for the email response that was posted from a discussion thread on Applevis, I hope it is not from a Pandora representative, but if it is, the company should take disciplinary action against the employee. If you do a little research on Pandora's web site by first clicking on the press room link, you will find a list of top company executives. Why not send a note just to make them aware of the response that appears to have come from Pandora concerning an accessibility inquiry. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Blind Treasures Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2014 6:18 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Pandora Response to accessibility I know this is a little off topic but thought people using Pandora should hear what type of people they are supporting.

I didn't want to add to the list clutter, but at times there is a serious lack of basic critical thinking on these lists. Its almost as if people are sitting around waiting, just waiting to be insulted or in some way be "mistreated," for which they are thrown into a needless rage and silly behavior follows.

Re: Pandora Response to accessibility
This is not first-hand or even second-hand information, so I take it with a large ocean of salt. I don't know which is more incredible: the message itself or the willingness to take it as fact. I don't believe it's a good idea to base responses on hearsay alone. Do thy research. I kind of wish there was an equivalent of Snopes to dispel some of these rumors that pop up with regards to accessibility. Given my frame of mind at the moment, I almost want to start such a page. It's challenging enough to deal with accessibility issues without wading through nasty and silly nonsense. Folks, let's work on the stuff we do know about and have some direct communication between users and developers to fix it.

Re: Pandora Response to accessibility
This Facebook message isn't true. The ONLY facebook page that I could find, Pandora user's can't post messages to the page. There however many Pandora pages created by individuals, who have people discussing the Pandora app. Pandora Radio is actually Pandora Media. pandora is a large millions dollar company, not your run of the mill app developer. So I doubt a large company like Pandora would have such a non-compassionate and rude employee.

I believe this is one of few people who do that. I would suggest reporting such person. Just because one of their personnel is mean doesn't mean all are.

Re: Pandora Response to accessibility
Hi, I don't use pandora but after reading the responce from pandora to the blind user about their app, I think the responce from pandora to the blind users was very uncalled for and very rude and I think I would never recommend pandora to anyone because of their nasty comments about blind people an just being very nasty in my opinion . This sort of thing should be reported and the person who develops the pandora app should have their app removed from the apple store all together. Plus the pandora people need to apologise for saying nasty comments about blind people because this kind of behavior from pandora is unexceptable .

In all fairness, I doubt they would put out such a response, and if they did, I am sure there would have to be a reason for it.

I don't believe this is true. If you believe what this email says, maybe you should email Pandora and see for yourself what type of response you will receive.
