Esther, As usual, your directions are wonderful. I just got a replacement iPhone 4, my first one just died one day but I have Apple Care thankfully. Anyway, I'm now finding that the 3 finger flick left or right is hardly working very well. I'm going to keep experimenting to see if I can get this to work again in the weather app. I'm only noticing it in weather; 'tis an odd one indeed!

You'll have to add your city (and optionally delete the ones that are in the app, if you don't want to hear those weather reports). To add the city or cities of your choice for weather reporting: 1. Double tap the "Edit Cities" button in the bottom right corner of your screen. 2. You'll be on a screen called "Weather" with focus on the "Add" button in the top left corner. If you flick right or do a two finger flick down "Read All" gesture you'll hear a list of city locations currently selected for your weather app. One of these will be Cupertino in California, headquarters of Apple. If you want to delete any of the existing entries, just double tap the button to the left of the listed city you want to remove. For example, VoiceOver will say "Delete Cupertino, switch button off, double tap to toggle setting" before the listing for the first item, Cupertino. If you double tap the switch button, a "Delete" button will appear to the right of the entry and receive focus, and VoiceOver will say, "Confirm deletion for Cupertino". If you double tap that button (or anywhere on the screen, since that button has focus), the entry for Cupertino will be deleted. 3. To add your city, you want to double tap the "Add" button in the top left corner. When you do, you'll be in a text box, and be prompted to "Type a city, state, or zip code". 4. Type in a zip code. If you move your finger down from the search box, you'll find a suggested city match. Double tap it and that city will be added to the end of the list of cities when you are returned to the "Weather" screen. If you want to rearrange the order in which cities are displayed, touch or flick right to the right side of the screen beside a city entry. You'll hear VoiceOver say "Reorder <name of city> button, draggable, double tap and hold, wait for the sound, then drag to rearrange." 5. If you want to move your city to the top of the list, use the double tap and hold pass through gesture on the reordering button. (Again, you can execute the pass through gesture anywhere on the screen, if you first touched or flicked to that button so that it has focus.) Keep your finger against the screen until you hear the burbling sound of the pass through gesture, then move your finger up to place the city in the position you want before lifting your finger from the screen. You'll hear VoiceOver update the position as you shift your finger position (e.g. "moved above Cupertino"). You can keep shifting cities until you get them ordered as you like. 6. You can also change your selection to report in either degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius by double tapping one of the two buttons at the bottom of the Weather screen. 7. When you've finished selecting and ordering the cities for which you want weather reports, double tap the "Done" button in the top right corner of the screen. You'll be taken back to the weather page for your cities. 8. If you have more than one city selected for weather reports, use a three finger flick right or left to scroll between the entries. VoiceOver will say, "Showing city 1 of 3", "Showing city 2 of 3", etc. or however many cities you have configured. HTH.
