My biggest bug is the bluetooth keyboard problem. I know, I have, and love, my Varioultra, but I have a friend that exclusively uses a keyboard, and it hit her hard.

If you turn VO back on again, the arrow keys don't >> work when you're trying to navigate your text, and you can't edit it. >> 3.

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.

This worked in previous iOS >> versions, but it doesn't work now, you're returned to near the top of the >> list. If you're in a large news-related podcast where there are dozens of >> episodes, it takes a lot of effort to get back to your place. This also >> impacts a number of other apps including some Twitter clients. >> 5. Less reliable audio ducking. You may find that if you use VoiceOver while >> listening to audio from another app, audio ducking does not work as well as >> it used to. 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.
