Agreed as I think this program does act differently on a machine running Mavericks and a machine running Yosemite as I have played around with it on both. I think all you need to do is VO space bar to open the messages and so on, and it seems to kick you out of html content in to a new tab with

I wonder if this is different between computers? I’m running an iMac mid 2011 with Yosemite and as far as i know i don’t see this kind of problem here. I have another somewhat strange issue though, Sometimes my voiceover goes in to what i would call a loop for lack of a better word, it sorta rea

Beginning to think this app is not totally accessible or a little buggy with VO, as it is causing VO to crash a lot on my system, and earlier today I got the story options menu to open where I could hide certain posts from my timeline, but now I cannot seem to get story options to work again and

Frankly I think people are quite entitled to express an opinion on whether they consider an app value for money, or indeed whether it adds any value to their user experience of any kind, without it being called whining. All the discussion I've seen in this thread has contained people expressing

Yes, the shortcut keys actually do work in the app. Another thing that makes me like Current is the fact that notifications, buddy list and inbox are in separate windows that you can call up with a keyboard command and when you’ve read the messages in those windows you can close them with comman

Does Current literally reproduce the website, like Menutab, or does it have easier ways of skipping around or anything? I presume if it really is just like the site, the shortcut keys work? On 17 Dec 2014, at 08:28 am, Krister Ekstrom wrote: > But Menutab is much, much slower. But to each thei

But Menutab is much, much slower. But to each their own. I happen rather to like Current. What amazes me though is how now when a new facebook kid is on the block, how people in this community whine about that the app in question doesn’t offer more than a web page of Facebook, something that man

So, you're paying money for an app that just displays the Facebook website? I really don't see the advantage. As Jonathan said, you can set a shortcut to go there in Safari, or simply leave the tab open all the time. Thanks for confirming that this app doesn't offer anything beyond what the webs

That may be so, but it doesn’t appear to offer any more than just accessing Facebook from on safari. I actually would recommend menu tab over this as with menu tab, you can hide it. This does not appear to be a functionality current provides. > On Dec 16, 2014, at 12:36 PM, Krister Ekstrom > w
