Disappointed – Hearo - Watch Movies Together Review

I was on a search for a video share app so that I would be able to watch videos synchronized with my husband. Due to unfortunate circumstances we are separated at the moment physically, hence wanting to watch videos synchronized together at the same time. This app seems to be the perfect solution, I tested it among several devices at the house and it’s synced up perfectly between the two devices so that there was no audio or video delay between the two. However, my husband is paralyzed, and he is unable to utilize a touchscreen. So we managed to get him to install the app on his iPad, and he was able to log to the account. The next thing the app asked for was access to his microphone, he said no. Which we thought would be fine since we didn’t want to chat vocally through this app, we just wanted it to sync the video. You see my husband utilizes the voice control accessibility features on his iPad in order to use anything. Once he installed this app and it activated it took over his microphone and he was no longer able to control any of the iPad therefore I was not able to do anything inside of this app. There needs to be some sort of feature in your app that allows disability accessibility features to continue to work on the majority of the Apple devices that you supply this app to. Now since he activated the microphone since the voice controls are active through the accessibility on the iPad the app just freezes and then closes and it doesn’t matter if he tries to use Siri or anything else it overrides his microphone entirely and he’s unable to use it. If you made the voice chat in your app a secondary feature to the streaming sink that you already have that the majority of people could easily go in and enable but didn’t automatically take over the microphone every time you open the app then there would be no issue. I look forward to when you actually change these options in which case then you’ll have two dedicated users.
