Making an App more accessible

2022-07-10 Thread Terri Stimmel
Hello everyone, What are some of the best ways to reach out to an App developer, about making their App more accessible? I haven't ever attempted to do this sort of thing. I don't have a lot of confidence in doing such a thing. But there is an App I would like to be able to use. It is some

When you look up an app in the app store the developer is listed at the end of the app information and screen shots. Usually there is a website or way to contact the developer. Or you could get the developer information and find the additional contact information through Google perhaps. I wish

I believe we should all contact Apple accessibility and suggest they put some kind of way of letting us know our phone has been possibly accidentally muted, just as they let us know airplane mode is on. -- Maria Campbell lucky1i...@gmail.com -- The following information is important for all m

Yes that's a good idea, although I'm not sure what constitutes "accidentally". If you're not sure of the mute state of your phone couldn't you just check the position of the silent switch? Or do you mean something else? I'm not complaining or being rude, just clarifying because I'm curious. > O

I wish you luck in getting the developer to help, some of them care more than others. In the meantime, what is the app? Perhaps somebody on this list can give you sugestions to make it work better. Arnold Schmidt Sent from Arnold's iPhone S E 2 On Jul 10, 2022, at 7:12 AM, Terri Stimmel

Hello Terri, Assuming you find the developer's contact information, describe the problem you are having in as much detail as you can. You could say something like, "All the buttons on this screen just say, "Button," so I can't tell which one does what," or "When I open the status screen, I just

Hi Maria, I'm going to disagree here. If the mute setting was software based and engaged by double tapping some button to turn it on, we might contact Apple Accessibility to make its accidental engagement more apparent. However, since mute is turned on by a physical switch whose setting can eas

Hi there I have found that if the phone is unlocked and you move the mute switch towards the back of the phone it actually says muted with voiceover if you move it towards the front it says I am muted. Also when the phone is locked if you move the switch to the mirror position the phone will vib

I started using the Libby app yesterday, and for what I did, I found it accessible. I just used it to find and play an audio book. I did notice that you could configure it to use the Kindle app, so maybe that would help. I've definitely used the Kindle app to read print books, i.e. not audio boo

Hi all. I'm looking for a good medication reminder app and was just curious what other people use. I've used MediSafe, and while it's usable, I wouldn't say it's the most accessible.
