[nabs-l] Accessible Bible Apps for iOS

[Greg Aikens]

Hi Chris,
It does want you to create a log in so that you can sync your reading plans from the app to the website.  I ended up making one because sometimes I prefer to do my Bible reading in hard copy braille or on my computer and it was nice to be able to check it off on the reading plan from the website.  I don't think you have to make an account though.  Once you get past this screen, things should be very accessible.
