Time shifting

It is a significant on the previous version and more stable overall. Now plays DAISY Text. The only issue I have come across is that time jump does not work at all and sentence jump seems to jump much more than a sentence. When in a podcast, Time Jump displays a time interval and jumps that amount.

Good idea, bad app.

I want to like this app. However it has given me nothing about headaches, constant crashing constantly bugging out constant not being able to log in issues. I wish I wish I had the knowledge to suggest how the developers could make this app better. Sadly I do not. So please fix this app vision Australia.

Still empty bookshelf

The app is flaky in performance and I still can't add books to my bookshelf. My podcasts and subscriptions still work. When I choose a book it tells me it is added but it never appears. Looks like I will have to get out my old plextalk. Found a work-around by going into I-access online web page and adding books there. Then when VA Connect is run, they show up.

Empty bookshelf

When books and subscribed papers etc do turn up, it works pretty well, the consistent difficulty is that not all daisy audio books actually arrive in the app. They show when you log in to I-access account. Have contacted tech support but no resolution.

Needs work

While it plays Daisy books, it seems to get stuck at the end of each chapter. Pushing the Play/Pause when it is stuck jumps a chapter. Downloading is not intuitive and is accessed via a fly out menu. The speed change setting does' seem to work.

Great App

Great app, so simple to use. A must for anyone in the blindness community.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
Security Framework
Secure the data your app manages. Protect information and control access to your app.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
