RE: Curious question about iPhone upgrade life

Fair enough, I also do a lot on my iPhone although I don't use it as my primary device for things like email or web browsing. I can do these things just so much more efficiently on my PC with Jaws and since my work requires me to use the computer pretty much all day or at least to have it right

Re: A Question for Those Who Have Updated to Watch OS 4 from Watch OS 3

Hi Mark and Sieghard, I also haven't experienced problems with VoiceOver other than the watch locking more often while I'm doing things. I'm hoping that some of this is the result of using a first generation watch; I'm getting a new one tomorrow, so I'll know better about that shortly. I don't

Hi Sieghard, Pedometer++ and, I assume, the ones Mark mentioned can show your step count as a complication on your screen. It doesn't gather data, it just displays it, but normally I would have to go into the Activity app to get the info. Best, Anna > On Sep 24, 2017, at 3:46 PM, Sieghard We

Re: notifications not speaking on lock screen

I have an I phone 6S running iOS 11. My notifications setting is set to always, and it still is not reading in coming notifications. The interesting thing is, if voiceover is speaking or something else is playing, notifications are read as they are coming in. Eric sseri...@gmail.com (614) 296-9

Re: A Question for Those Who Have Updated to Watch OS 4 from Watch OS 3

Hello, My only issue right now is that if I am playing something like a book on my phone, the now playing screen comes up whenever I wake my watch. This is beginning to be very annoying when I want to quickly hear the time. Regards, Greg Wocher > On Sep 24, 2017, at 4:56 PM, Woody Anna Dresner
