Ray, you are narrowing things too much. It's not just Android where we now have better access, iPhone is just as good.
All the best

Yes, afraid Steve and one or two others imersed in all things Android always say these things. Its not for nothing the specialist devices still have their place for some who are too busy or simply not so easily able to adjust and learn all the details and capabilities of the latest Android wonder myricles.
Not wishing to stray into philosophical/political arguments but it does seem to me that not enough ownus is put on corporations and designers of operating systems to ensure easy access to the guts of their systems to make it easier for specialist tech vendors to make a more usable interface and lower the stress levels of those who quite reasonably want a easier to use interface which specialist devices aim to provide. To much emphasis put on individual skill and achievement for my liking.
Ray.

I am totally with you although you got there years before me.
Do you have any tips for a less dextrous soul, looking for an Android phone or tablet which connects to a Braille display but whose scrteen is large enough for my stubby fingers to navigate?
Thanks Mary

Hi,
There are streams that I believe you can import to your device, but I'm not sure where they are at this point.
For me, this is why these portable devices are becoming of less value, I'd sooner do it all on my phone. I can do Audible, BBC, RNIB Talking Books, everything on my phone, and I haven't got to wait for any given manufacturer to make it happen.
All the best
Steve

Hi Steve,
Is there any way of getting BBC without using Sounds?
My BS6 web radio could until a couple of weeks ago.
My lack of dexterity makes it difficult on Sounds, and BS6 Android Platform is primitive, don't mention the upcoming,promised, imm3eiq53immediate HIMS update, second coming will happen first!!
I love my bbc radio!
Mary

Yep, there is no BBC on Tune In, so it will be of little value to the UK.
All the best

Hi Matthieu
Thank you for letting us know.
I have not bought a new Stream yet, but have a question.
As the Internet Radio now uses TuneIn, does that mean we are restricted in the UK to what stations we can select, like we are on Alexa and Google?
