#1 A great app

HeyTell works great with VoiceOver!!  I have had absolutely no problems as far as accessibility goes.  The developers did a great job with this app!

When you recieve a HeyTell message be sure to do a three finger double tap to turn the speech of VoiceOver off before listening to your message. If you don't, voiceOver will talk over your message and you will have to replay it. This isn't a big deal, just something I had to figure out for myself.  HeyTell uses very little data, about as much as sending an e-mail. This app is a great alternative to texting! I use it almost every day.
