Great tips. I had to play it over as you guys talk faster than me. Thanks. Love this keep up the good work

[@leiladanu]

great info. talk a bit slower and hold image on phone for a moment. Most of us are not tech savvy and it takes us a beat to catch up.

[@sarahgupton2552]

I stop the video, catch up, then press play again. They are fast.

I know right? Please slow it down just a tad, for us old timers in our 40’s, thanks a bunch…lol

Another great informative video. Here are some suggestions base on my observations from your videos I watched for the last month: when finishing an sentence with key information at the end, slow down your talking speed and deliver it slower. Repeat the key words and keep the video shots (step by step guide) a little bid longer. Keep up the great work. Thank you for the relevant information.

[@jeancarnegie4332]

I agree with Juan J. Please go a little slower, and thanks fo all your helpful tips.

[@joytaylor5521]

Also need to hear it slower. Have to keep going back to keep up. Would also like to know what different AssistiveTouch items do .

[@65slb]

I think this is great and appreciate it. I plan to send it to family members. However, I agree it is a trifle fast. I did pause and repeat a couple of times.

[@lindaforte2827]

i find these guys great !!! but seeing it"s my first i phone, i keep trying to follow ,, but i"m always way in back ,,,good thing you can pause but keep up the good work...........

[@sharoncurulla9803]

You’re amazing! I have quite a few senior citizens who have funky problems with their phone. Maybe now I can help them resolve problems! These people suffer so much from confusion with tech items ... their stress is real and somewhat debilitating... I think you will assist me in relieving their angst. God bless you! Hank you so very much!

You guys are so helpful and clearly explain how to problem solve-I’m shocked at what I don’t know about my phone-thank you

Agreed. They only offer a quick visual of their phone screen; and they didn't say where to find Private Address.

About ZOOM, after listening to your video I looked at zoom on my iPhone7 and found that Apple are letting customers down by not giving clear instructions for getting out of zoom. The instructions on my phone relate to how to go into zoom, how to move zoom, and then there's something about how to "change zoom" (whatever that means) and that seems to be all. It's great you do these videos but we shouldn't have to rely on videos like yours. Apple themselves should have comprehensive instructions on their phones and should also produce videos to teach us consumers how to use what we buy.

[@jakedunlap8809]

Awesome video! I love the tips! That all makes sense! One thing app developers need to work on is how to large the font size within the apps.

Auto brightness is maddening, nor do I believe it saves battery because its using power looking for changes in ambient light.

Love the vids! The only one I disagree with is auto brightness. I just can't handle my phone changing it's brightness CONSTANTLY. Happens too often, and most of the time it's too dim for my taste. Hopefully it doesn't kill my battery over time.

To slow down or speeding up You Tube videos. Upper right-hand corner, press on three dots and chose desired speed. The voices will slow down or speed up accordingly, I found this funny, not bothersome. It’s very helpful if you want to skip over info you’re familiar with or have more time to absorb info.

Hi Lesley, thank you for the feedback! We'll try to go slower next time, or do a split screen, maybe. We noticed that a lot of people stop watching if we stay on the overhead camera for too long, but I can absolutely understand how it can be confusing if we don't show it for long enough. It's the dance of trying to become a better video maker! Really appreciate your support.
