Tue May 11 17:05:54 UTC 2021

I think we figure out who makes it, and start to figure out where in the organization to target our concerns. I'm willing to help.

Gary, that is very interesting. I had not heard that. I need some direction. How should I get this started?
Fred, a friend brought this to my attention in a comment on the facebook iPhone and iPad apps for visually impaired. 
I am not on the email group any more. My app is working great right now as well. I have stopped my automatic updates, because I really want to continue using my instant pot. My friend and I want to do something. Her phone was broken, and upon getting it fixed, or a new one set up, she lost her app. Like I said, I just need to know where to start. Thanks much for your responses.

Linda, although this may be news to you, it has been discussed quite thoroughly on the visually impaired iPhone users group. I currently am running iOS 14.4.2 and have the iPhone Bluetooth app on my phone. It appears to be usable for me, however I have heard that if one upgrades their phone to version 14.5 the app will no longer function. Just a heads up Fred Olver
