Ratings and reviews

When it worked, it worked. However, the button for the accessibilty suite kept dissappearing for me randomly. I had to keep going to Edit Shortcuts and adding it back. Now there's been an update; the formatting is different and all the icons on the accessibility suite are black and white outlines instead of big colorful buttons, so it's harder to distinguish each them from eachother.

This set of Accessibility Settings is not in it's finalized form, because it's got Apt of bugs that need to be fixed! I'm not sure about the specific bugs, but I'm certain I've encountered several of them while using the Accessibility Settings to make it easier for me to use my Android phone! The biggest issue that I can think of at the moment is that there's an issue that keeps causing the 'Select To Speak' feature to stop working and I have to go into my settings to figure out what's wrong!

So this review is in reference to the TalkBack accessibility feature. it is atrocious and not only voice presentation, but it basically hijacks your phone and the commands that they give you to operate it half the time either do not work or are delayed longer than listed instructions. I spent 10 minutes repeatedly. trying to turn it off with the instructions provided, until suddenly I did something right didn't what that was. In no way beneficial
