I had zero problems getting started with Fantastical 2. I honestly did it in seconds.
I may not remember this exactly but here goes… When you first open the app it asks you for permission to your calendar, address book/contacts and something else, :) I forgot what the third thing was. I allowed access to all of them. Then you will sort of be in a mini tutorial mode and that is why you cannot access the settings button and such. In the bottom half of the screen it tells you to pull down on the ticker to switch to month view. You have to use the pass through gesture for this. All you need to do is double tap and hold the day ticker until you here this sound I cannot describe, then pull down. Once you are successful at this it walks you through maybe two other instructions. I don’t remember what they are but again, just use the pass through gesture. :) Once you finish this sort of tutorial mode, than you can use the app normally and none of the buttons will be greyed out. :) The pass through gesture sort of cuts through VO and it’s like you are touching that particular spot that you double tapped and held your finger on for a second, as if VO was not on. I’m sorry, I’m not good at describing this and maybe someone else will better explain this gesture and what is happening. I did not have any sighted assistance and I consider myself quite a ditz when it comes to technology and I truly did not have any problems. The key here is knowing about the pass through gesture. If you are not aware of this useful VO gesture then you will certainly be stuck. :) This gesture may take a bit of practice but I find it very useful in other apps as well. :) Good luck, and let me know if I can be of further assistance. The app is not “perfect” for visually impaired but I am loving it a whole lot more than the native Calendar app but this is just my opinion. :) Christina Sent from Christina's On Oct 31, 2013, at 6:58 AM, Les Kriegler <kriegle...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Richard, Nick ad Christina > > I was able to obtain sighted assistance from my wife and she was able to deal > with the welcome screen and less than 30 seconds.
