Dear all,<br>
<br>
When the National Association of guide dog Users (NAGDU, a strong and
proud division of the National Federation of the blind, launched the
NAGDU Guide & Service Dog Information & Advocacy mobile app on
September 17, 2014, our goal was to have the app downloaded at least 1000
times by the end of 2014. It was an ambitious goal; however, the NFB is
known for its ambition to ensure every blind person has the opportunity
to live the life we want! We are pleased and excited to announce that we
have not only met our goal, but exceeded it!<br>
<br>
As of midnight on December 31, 2014, the NAGDU app has been downloaded by
1,039 users. And we are not finished! The app is continuing to be
downloaded, demonstrating the value of the information we are providing
to guide and service dog users, as well as to the general public. We are
working to enhance the app with new features suggested by our users,
including location tracking, sharing options, more streamlined access to
the information, guidance for other industries, and an Android
version.<br>
<br>
If you or someone you know has not yet downloaded the app, please help us
continue our progress by going to the App Store, searching for “NAGDU”,
and downloading this incredible free app. Doing so will help the National
Association of Guide dog Users improve the app and enhance the other work
we do on behalf of guide dog users. Once you download the app, please
browse through the information and send us your feedback. You can do this
directly from the app by using the “send an email” feature. We look
forward to hearing from you and working with you to raze the expectation
of the blind in the United States so we can live the lives we want!<br>
<br>
Fraternally yours,<br>
<br>
