Hello:
I have been an avid Applevis reader for years and have learned so much from many of the posters here. I do so appreciate that ApplVis is here for us all to learn more about Apple and our devices.
I installed IOS 10 on Wednesday and have been experimenting with varius aspects since then. I have some comments and some questions.
In general, I like the update! I am seeing few major bugs.
First, I love the new Nuance voices! I especially enjoy the enhanced U.S. Tom and Ava voices. I do wish we could have more than one of them in our rotor at a time. I find myself switching between them, but would like to do so on the fly.
Next, I understand from talking with folks at Apple Accessibility that this is expected behavior, but I wish that the "Raise to wake," and "Rest finger to unlock," weren't linked. I like the ease of unlocking my phone by resting my finger on the Home button, but don't necessarily need to have the phone wake up every time I pick it up. I find it triggers even if its in my pocket and I stand up. I mentioned this to them.
Third, and here is a question you may be able to help with:
When I go to search for something either in the App store or the Podcast app, I dictate my search string, but no search button appears and the text does not appear in the edit field. When I type the text in, it does appear as does the search button. In the app store, I get huge categories to choose from rather than the actual specific app I am looking for. In the podcast app, I get nothing in response to my search. Is there something I am missing?
Forth, I have been trying to move apps. I swipe up and hear "Move," and then the app's name. I double tap on the app and hear "Choose a location to move this app." This is where I need help. I want to move some apps from page 4 to page two. What are the next steps?
Fifth, I appreciate the folks on the Apple Accessibility line, but now that I have no land line, it makes it much harder to get help that is effective from them without having them hear me walk through the steps they are giving me to solve a particular problem. Has anyone else had this frustration, and how might this be remedied? I don't use Skype or other such communications options.
Sixth, I too see the "Trash," button dimmed in my email app. I would like to be able to delete several messages at once, and it seems we have lost this feature at least for now.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
