The AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame

Introduction

Welcome to the AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame, where we acknowledge and celebrate the apps that exemplify all that is great about owning an iDevice.

Our goal is to showcase the passion and hard work that app developers put into creating great apps that are fully accessible to VoiceOver users. These apps place powerful tools into the palms of our hands, and give access to services, information, media or entertainment that the sighted world takes for granted.

Apps are nominated and voted on monthly by registered users of the AppleVis site, with the two apps that gain the most votes being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Scroll down to see which apps have already been inducted into the Hall of Fame, to see the current nominations, to cast your vote and to nominate the apps that you think deserve a place.
