RE: follow-up regarding questions about Balance My Checkbook by LingsDesigns
That is very helpful Vicky. Might I suggest, if you haven't already, do a write up for Applevis.com? You have to set up a free account to do that, but this sounds like an app more people could find very useful.

And as I expected from reading some of the reviews about the app, I did indeed get a response. If anybody recalls my first message to the list regarding this, if memory serves seeing as I didn't bother to save my original message here, I had three questions. As the first question involved what were improvements made to VoiceOver to the newer version of the program and was just a curiosity question, I opted not to take up the developer's time with it. My other two questions involved whether the search transactions feature was still available in the legacy version of the app, and whether the notes field was still auto completed for the same type of transaction in the current version of the app. While I don't feel comfortable posting the developer's full email here, I'll post the part relating to those specific questions, and then I'll talk a little bit about my call to Apple Accessibility afterwards. And speaking of Apple Accessibility, I've heard in various places that they're no longer letting one call with non-VO questions but are referring those to the AppleCare number. Are folks here finding this to be the case? Anyway, here is the developer response followed by my comments: Search is available in all versions but the search bar may be hidden, to show it swipe down on the center of the Account screen. I'm not sure how you do that with VoiceOver. The most current version shows it by default. Because of user complaints, auto complete for the notes field was disable to match its behavior in version 1.x. I'll consider adding an option for whether to auto complete the notes in a future update. Anyway, I very much appreciated the developer's concise, timely, and courteous response to those and my other questions. And since I didn't know how to access the search option in the legacy version, either, I called Apple Accessibility. We talked a bit, and then it was decided that I would let them take a look at my screen. However, when he tried to send me the notification, I never did receive it, and he said it was because I wasn't using Wi-Fi. I then suggested that I try connecting the phone I was using to the personal hotspot of my other phone, and that did indeed work to allow him to see my screen. We still couldn't figure out how to get to the search bar, though, so I suggested turning off VoiceOver and letting him take a look, to which he agreed. He then suggested I swipe down from the top of the screen with three fingers with VoiceOver turned off, then turn VoiceOver back on, and then see if I could see the search box. So I did the swipe down with VO off, turned VO back on, and the search box stayed there as long as I remained in that particular account. Actually, after I hung up from Apple, I tried turning off VO, doing practically anything anywhere on the screen with however many fingers I liked, and the search box would appear. But depending on what I did, for example just tapping in the middle of the screen with one finger, often brought up a specific transaction in the account as well as the search box, if that makes sense. Anyway, as I mentioned in a follow-up email to the developer after talking with Apple, as much as I am tempted to go back and use the legacy version now that I know how to use the search feature with it, I'll just stick with the newer version, especially since the developer talked about making the legacy version identical to the current version at some point. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

questions about the Balance My Checkbook app by LingsDesigns
I've mentioned using the Balance My Checkbook app by LingsDesigns before on this list. But best I can tell from looking at the two apps and my purchase history, I was using the legacy version of the app and not the newer version now being offered. However, when I wanted to perform a search through my various transactions and could no longer find the search transactions button even though I've used the paid version since 2016, I went to the app store and downloaded the newer version and the search function did indeed work. I noticed, though, that the notes for the update done about a month ago for that newer version, which is no longer the most current update, mentioned improvements for VoiceOver, and so I was wondering what those improvements were, as the legacy app didn't have, and likely didn't need, that particular update. Also, with the legacy version of the app, the notes field from a prior same transaction was already filled in for the next same type of transaction, but that appears to not be the case with the newer version of the app. For example, when paying the utility bills, sewer bill or water bill or whatever would already be filled in the notes section from where I had paid that same company the month before in the legacy version of the app but not in the current version. thus, I was wondering if I've gotten things mixed up from downloading and installing the two versions, or if I'm seeing things correctly here? I can certainly contact the developer if necessary, but if anyone still uses either the legacy app or the current one and could answer any of these things for me, that would be appreciated. Again to confirm, since maybe my ramblings were a bit confusing: first, just to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone know what the improvements to VoiceOver were done about a month ago in the current version of the app? Second, is the autocomplete feature for the notes part of the app no longer available in the current version of the app? And finally, is the search transaction feature no longer available in the legacy app? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
