Hi, All,
I am a heavy VoiceOver user on iPad running iOS 9.
I used to use Adobe Acrobat Reader to read pdf files. It was quite good with VoiceOver. But last week, I was stupid enough to update the app to its latest version. To my dismay, the new Adobe Acrobat Reader is no longer compatible with VO. No mater what gestures I tried, VO just doesn't read the texts any more.
I'm thinking of starting a podcast to aid my business. Can anybody recommend their favourite app for creating and hosting podcasts and uploading them to Spotify? I know plenty about recording them but I need them to be on Spotify so an app which can do that would be amazing.
Thanks all!
Hi all,
I've just added a new feature to the site that enables registered users to indicate the apps that they would recommended to other VoiceOver users.
When viewing an app in the App Directory you will now see how many AppleVis users have recommended that app. Registered users will also see a link they can click to recommend the app.
You will also have the option to recommend an app when submitting it to the App Directory.
I'm looking for an accessible forum app. I want to subscribe to forums and use Applevis with it. Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks, Jürgen
Hi.
I am running on a treadmill and need a program on my iPhone which can tell me time while I am running. I previously used the build in program called Running, but after recent updates to this program it is not accessible anymore. The program was useful to me because it announced the time every 5 minuts and it made use of my music library.
Can anyone recommend an Accessible program to use when running?
Best regards

I am testing an iOS app on my iPhone for accessibility. I need to make videos to show VoiceOver users how to use the app. I'm looking for an app which will let me pair my Windows machine to my iPhone so the video will show what is on the phone screen. I know this isn't completely an iOS question, but would appreciate some help.
Which color identifier app have people found to be most helpful and reliable? I would guess the anser depends on the application. I'm thinking of an aid to help select cloting and make sure the pants match the shirt, etc.
- Which app have you found to be most reliable and useable by the blind?
- What distinguishes one app from another?
- Is there any app that has been developed especially for the blind?
Thanks for any recommendations.

Many of the meditation / breathing apps seem to have a strong visual component in addition to audio for meditating or doing controlled breathing.
I was wondering if folks had recommendations for such apps that don't rely on the visuals.
Thanks.

Hi,
Having only recently switched from Android last week, I'm trying to figure out how to listen to audiobooks. The only way I've found is to use iTunes to sync the content to iBooks, which is unacceptable (its iTunes, enough said).
I am writing a AppleVis because I have encountered a problem that I’ve spoken to multiple Apple accessibility advisers on, and they’ve had other one have reported it but I have not seen any discussion about this, my focus with voiceover seems to be broken when I’m using the native message app, and now Facebook.
Messengers started not working about three weeks ago, each time I open the app and I swipe either left or right, it is stuck on the status bar.
Hi, my husband and I are going on our first date in a while. Unfortunately, it is an a part of the city that I am incredibly unfamiliar with and would like to choose a walking GPS app for the blind. I haven’t seen a new GPS walking out posted in the last three years or so can anyone make some good recommendations about an app that is regularly updated. Thanks so much

I've just set up a WDMyCloud device. I've realised a lot of the books I have on it are in RAR as well as zip formats. I don't want to convert them all to zip as there are too many. Can anyone recommend a good IOS utility that I can unzip them in and in turn send the unzipped file to Voice Dream?
I’m searching for accessible add and video pop up blockers for free on my iPad.
Recommendations are appreciated
Thanks
What are the most accessible IOS apps for exercising? I have the 7-minute workout app installed but when I looked it on applevis the most recent posts seemed to be at least 2 years old, is that app still accessible and are there any others? If possible I'm looking for apps that also describe how to do the exercises.
I figure that it's finally time for me to join the 21st century and digitise my printed documents for easy searching and retrieving.
As this is likely well charted territory for many on here, I wanted to benefit from that experience by asking for suggestions for the best apps and workflows for doing this. Obviously with a big priority on making the resulting archive as accessible as possible for managing and searching.
What apps would you recommend and what workflows for making this process as straightforward and efficient as possible?
Hi
Do you can recommend some apps that I can use in connection with 2-step verification if I e.g. will login to Facebook with this feature activated there work with VoiceOver on iOS?
Facebook recommend Google Authenticator, but when I look on the old thread here on AppleVis:
https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/google-authenticator
, I not can be sure if the accessibility working or not. The thread is last updated back in 2013.
There are a small number of apps that are specific to the UK, and I thought it might be useful to pull together a list of those which VoiceOver users find particularly good.
A couple that I regularly use are:
NextBuses: great if you are a regular user of buses. The developer has paid specific attention to making this accessible, and it shows!
