There is a fabulous website for Apple products that are useful for blind / low vision.    AppleVis.com.    They have podcasts / tutorials / reviews etc on apps for iPhones, iPads, MAC.  They have their annual Golden Apple awards and this is where I found out about Voice Dream reader and other apps that are pretty amazing including the KNFB reader.   If you don't know about this website, check it out.
