I wonder why someone from Sandero hasn't monitored this list and given some information, especially about the possible server outage yesterday. It sure would clear up a lot of issues and do them some good public service. They must know that this is a huge list and reaches many many potential

Using Lire

2013-07-03 Thread EricSS
I have Lire and have entered a feed and downloaded articles. But, when I open an article, I can only read one line at a time. If I touch on the screen, I can read that line, but I cannot flick right or left in the article. Also, I cannot get back to the main menu without closing Lire out of the

try re-installing the app; but before doing so, you might email Kunal Sood, Lire's developer. I'll bet you'll receive a reply very quickly. He can be reached at m...@lireapp.com. Craig On 7/3/13, EricSS sseri...@gmail.com wrote: I have Lire and have entered a feed and downloaded articles

I just tried this using an iPhone five. I first asked for a place in my address book and it gave me the directions using Maps. I then asked for an intersection, and again it took me there using the Maps app. I lastly tried saying navigate by bus to a destination and it gave me my choice of

Could you do this with BlindSquare? I was wondering the other day. Four instance, could I mark a favorite bench in a park or the water fountain or restroom facilities, etc. Eric On Jul 2, 2013, at 2:15 PM, Michael Malver mmal...@gmail.com wrote: Does it have the ability to record a route

After only a few messages, it seems that we are getting the typical blind Apple user attitude. It does not do that yet or it does that kind of or you have to work it a little bit or maybe in the future, etc. Eric On Jul 2, 2013, at 1:49 PM, Wil James w...@wilanddenise.com wrote: Not a lot of

Digs RSS

2013-06-27 Thread EricSS
Digsjust released their app to the App Store that incorporates your Google reader RSS information. I loaded it and that part works quite well. However, I am not sure if I am doing right. I see a button at the top of the screen that says Mark all streams, I believe. When I tap that they may be

Re: NOAA radio: How do I get rid of out-dated alerts?

2013-06-26 Thread EricSS
I don't know how to tell you to fix this problem, but often uninstalling and reinstalling an app is the very fix. I'm not sure how you mean that is extreme. It is not as though these apps come on 15 floppy disks and take hours to install. You may need to try it if the normal method of deleting

I'm sorry, but I do not use that app, so I am only guessing. I would try double tapping with one finger on the spot that says 22 alerts, hold my finger until I heard the tones and then slide to the right and lift my finger. Now explore above or below that and see if you have a message saying

I recently purchased the Plantronics M55 Bluetooth earpiece. I mentioned them that it comes with one free year of their vocalist service. Someone mentioned at that time they did not feel this service was very good. I whole heartedly agree with that and second my agreement! First, accessing the

Alan, I raised this issue just a couple of weeks ago here. NFB told me at the time I was the only person ever to have reported this issue and they could not reproduce it. I did not get much confirmation of others having this same problem here, either. So, I gathered I was just unique… Just like
