[Blindtlk] Accessible News Apps

Tue Apr 30 15:28:52 UTC 2013

When you get your iPhone, ask me what apps I use. I have about 110 apps, and almost all of them are fully accessible. I have apps for pretty much any need, from student to professional. Not trying to sound smug or anything, but it's just the fact. There are some of us out there who have a lot of accessible apps. An good place to luck is Apple vis. Just Google it, and you'll find reviews on hundreds of different apps, from totally inaccessible to very accessible.
