<p class="MsoNormal">Asia. There is no such organization as the American Federation of the Blind. There is the American Foundation for the Blind. Can this person give you more / better information about this organization. The American Foundation for the Blind
is based in NYC. What information are they finding to suggest that My Fitness Pal is accessible. The first place I would contact right away is Applevis, which is the main web site and internet listserv for IOS users and voiceover. You might find information
already posted from users about the accessibility of this app. You can also subscribe to the ViPhone Internet listserv, and there is also a group on FB on mobile apps for the blind.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have already finished this course for my summer class but I was wanting some information about something that has come up from my college. I needed to track some food for my summer class and an alternative that I brought up was My fitness
Pal. I knew the paid subscription would allow me to get the information that was required for the course. In my experience in the past with the app was that it had lots of accessibility bugs so I did not think that the paid subscription would make a difference
with accessibility. My college did some research and found out that the paid subscription was more accessible. This was found out by them noticing that the American Federation of the Blind reviewed it and said it was accessible. I am looking for information
of anyone who may use the My Fitness Pal paid subscription and if they notice that it is accessible. I am also looking to get information about the AFB because I have never heard of them. This is not the first time my college has brought them up. So I was
wondering if anyone knows anything about them and how good of an organization they are. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have spoken to the Dean of the accessibility department today and she has told me that they may have signed a contract with a visually describing service but she can not remember the name of it. I highly suggested Aira for my college
to get. This would make it so much easier for me to get sighted help with out having to go through accessibility to make an appointment so they can find someone to be my describer. I will see how the dean considers it. This dean has only been at my college
for about a year so she is pretty new to my campus and how it needs lots of improvements in accessibility.<o:p></o:p></p>
