>> A few other apps that I like, in addition to the ones mentioned:

>> *Flashlight: Just what it sounds like. It uses your battery fast,

>> school, very handy in  math and science classes
>> Dictionary.com: A dictionary at your fingertips. It doesn't use WiFi

>> Another great school app that I use almost  daily. It gives you full

>> Pages: Apple's word processor. Type your notes in class using your

>> around
>> Moxy: A word-making game that is fully accessible
>> ZaniTouch: Like BopIt except with iPhone gestures. My high score is 75 
>> gestures.
>> Papa Sangre: A more challenging game where you have to collect musical 
>> notes while avoiding enemies  *White House: News straight from the 
>> President's office, great for  keeping up with federal programs and 
>> what the president and his wife  are up to
>> *AccessWorld: The AFB's monthly magazine, which often has reviews on 
>> products and books that are very useful  *NFB Newsline: Amazing app 
>> that brings Newsline to your phone without  having to call the number.
>> All the same features are there, so it's  easy to learn  *iBlink
>> Radio:
>> This is the app to go to for your local reading radio  service, as

>> recipes  *Savings STar: Have a card for your local grocery store?
>> Put

>> paper coupons of any kind!
>> *WalkScore: Looking to move? Check out the walk score for the new

>> Oh Moby: Take a picture of something, and it searches for something
