In the Today view of Notification Center, VO frequently restarts itself >>> when flicking through your widgets, and sometimes the phone locks up >>> entirely. >>> 4. It's much less likely you can return to your previous position on screen >>> after taking an action. For example, flick through the list of podcasts in >>> Downcast.

Some times, it works perfectly, while at others, >>> VoiceOver ducks the audio but does not restore the app to its normal level >>> when VO has finished speaking.
