At the end of each month, the members of the AppleVis Editorial Team take a look at all of the apps that have been posted to the site, along with those that have had significant updates during that month. We then vote on which of these we think is the most noteworthy. As always, the selection is wide, with one app being in the games category, another being in the social networking category, and the second runner up being in the utilities category.
Some months, we have a flood of new app entriesā¦

As blind iPhone users who live in the United States, we really are spoiled, as most of the limited content out their about VoiceOver is directed at us. So when my colleague Jackie Brown at AppleVis wrote a great blog entry that primarily focused on iPhone Sports Apps for those living outside the U.S., my first thought was what about us U.S. sports fans? Yes, I know quite self centric of me, but hey, Iām an American and arenāt we known for being self obsessed?
All kidding aside, I wanted toā¦

Apple has recently released the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, iPad Air, and iPad Mini with Retina display. All these devices complement the company's existing stable of products. So how do you decide what is right for you, and which i to buy?
My personal view - and of course this is very subjective - is to ask yourself the following questions:
- What do you anticipate using the device for?
- ā¦

The national Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (NLS) has submitted their app, called BARD Mobile, for approval to the Apple App Store. Neil Bernstein, who works for NLS, estimated that it could take 1 or 2 more weeks for the app to be approved which would get it in to the hands of NLS patrons. The app, as indicated previously, will support the reading of braille files through the Web Braille service when using braille displays. it will also support the playback of theā¦

It was a shocker. When Google announced that Google Reader will shut down on July 1st, apart from the usual cycle of disvelief and sorrow the first thing which came to my mind was what to use after Google Reader's demise. On the one hand, Google Reader provides an easy way to read RSS feeds in a synchronyzed way regardless of one's platform of choice. On the other (and this is my true source of concernā¦

Hi all,
Its great to see a specific accessibility app (keyboard word prediction app for use with VoiceOver) get recognised in this way. Raises the awareness of accessibility just that bit more.

For quite some time, deaf-blind users of iDevices have been able to use face to face communication with the public through the notes app. This consists typically of an iDevice (iPod, iPad, or iPhone) paired with a braille display and bluetooth keyboard. The deaf-blind person can then type using the braille input keys on their display, while the sighted and hearing person types on the bluetooth keyboard. All text shows up on both the braille display and the screen of the iDevice. Now, there isā¦

Just recieved this news straight from the Looktel PR department and they wanted me to pass this along to you all.
We will have to wait a bit longer for the Looktel Breadcrumbs but there are great news about the updates on the MoneyReader and the Recognizer! Can't wait for those updates!
So here is what the Looktel PR folks had to say:
"Our legal team has advised us against releasing Breadcrumbs GPS until they have been able to fully vet and evaluate the application. Breadcrumbs GPS has beenā¦

When it comes to choosing a new handset, I can become as meticulous and picky as hell! Itās not necessarily a vice; however, if it takes more than three months to make your final decision, it can no longer be called a āvirtueā either.
Having used several Symbian handsets such as the 6630, N73, N82, N86, and X7, I finally decided to kiss goodbye to Symbian about four months ago. My phones were sort of decrepit and I needed something new. Having had heard many good points about Androidā¦

Macstories quotes a reliable source to support the above statement, adding that iOS 4.3 will be live by 1000 PST. iOS 4.3 will bring improved support for AirPlay, clean up the existing code and introduce iTunes app subscriptions that willā¦

The introduction of multitouch gestures in the new iOS 4.3 will coincide with the removal of the only physical button present on the front of the iPad and the iPhone, sources close to the matter have told BGR.
The site adds that the iPad will be the first to lose the button and that the iPhone will be the next on the list; it is likely that the iPod Touch will follow suit.
Instead, multitouch gestures will be used to access the home screen and to launch the app switcher. It isā¦
