Hello Paul,
Great minutes.
Just to sort out the confusion, the next bus app is still available on the app
store.
I removed the nextbus app and redownloaded the app again. bus stops and times
of buses are still available.
But it seems realtime is no longer available.
When you select your bus it was possible to set up an alert this has been
removed.
I would be interested if someone could check this out.

Hi Folks, July is everything that June wasn't!
It's raining often, and not a bit like summer.
There was a very good attendance today with 14 participants.
Yours truly had a problem from the beginning, as he was copying a word
document to e mail to his walk leader, but as he pressed control plus the
letter a to highlight everything, and then went to do control plus letter c to
copy, my finger slipped, and I know not what happened, but the names
disappeared from my word document, and I did not do control plus the letter z
in time, to undo the mistake.
Will try later to see if I can get back the original document.
Eamonn had a question , he wanted to know how, to add a number of apps, to a
folder.
Jackie is our expert on this, and has contributed this instruction for anybody
doing or wanting to do similar to Eamonn.
This is the instructions for moving apps into folders.
1. Swipe up or down until you hear edit, Double tap with one finger.
2. when you hear edit, swipe up or down until you hear drag app, again one
finger double tap.
3. move to what ever page you want the app to go.
4. when you get to where you want the app you swipe up or down and you'll hear"
put app to the left, to the right or create folder, Double tap with one finger
again.
5.
If you want to move multiple apps do the first step then go to each app and
double tap to add it to drag. when you get where you want it located swipe
down, you'll get the option to create folder, double tap to confirm.
6. When finished to stop edit mode press the home button or swipe up or down
until you hear stop editing.
Thanks Lady W.
Jackie had a problem with Audible over the weekend. She wanted to add a
forthcoming book to her wish list, but Audible said that her payment could not
be verified.
No matter what she did she could not resolve this problem, but has E mailed
Amazon to help resolve the problem.
There was a long discussion on the latest situation regarding the various
transport apps.
Albert told us that the very good Next Bus app, has been discontinued.
This is very disappointing to many people especially Bert and Mary.
Bert recommended the Moovit app, as the next best for all using Dublin Bus.
It's easy to use, gives plenty of notice before arriving at your destination,
and in his opinion is vastly superior to the new, TFI app (transport for
Ireland app)
Martin wanted to know, how to get the Bell working on that new mobility app,
called Voice Vista.
He has been adding new markers on this app, to help him navigat his way to the
rail station, He wants to get different sounds to tell him when he passes a
Church, Pub or other good markers.
Well the answer is that this is not possible yet, as the developers have not
got around to allow people sett up sounds or journey times , but this should
be available in the not too distant future.
Tom was complaining that Soundscape was giving him wrong information. Paul
thought that Tom, may have his menu set to What's around me, rather than the
more useful setting of My Location.
Tom will check this out over the next week.
Bert wanted to know how to change his Revolut app to current account,
rather than the credit account.
Jackie said to go to the add money link on his Revolut app, , and here one can
change from Bank of IRELAND to AIB or current account to credit card account
and so forth.
You put in the numbers for whatever account you want Revolut to use.
Mary reported that the attendance at the Visionaries concert in The League of
the Blind premises was a great success, with over 100 - 150 people attending.
Martin brought up a very valid point, as he sat there he did not know what
other vision impaired people were there, and suggested that in future,
somebody can arrange a roll call for all those vision impaired people, so they
can find their friends and meet some new people while there, after the concert
ends.
This would make the concert more accessible to Blind and vision impaired people
and would make for an even more enjoyable evening.
This is an excellent suggestion by Martin, and Mary promised to bring this to
the attention of the powers to be.
That's all Folks
Paul
