I never really touched the topic of Accessibility but I would like to create something outstanding, simple and inclusive. I don't know where to start but Maybe I could find someone here who could give me some insight, test out my app and help me to make it more Accessible

I am happy to test the app for you, and in terms of accessibility, I believe Apple may have an article on how to make apps accessible. Somethings that you could do are having clear labels on buttons, clear captions on images,

Would you mind sharing your email or sending me an email here: contact@memoiri.app I would be happy to add you to Testflight and discuss details about what and where you see issus. I must admit I have never really put that in mind before

Hello. Subject line is pretty accurate. I still have my trusty iPhone 7 which is what I started on, but am willing to help out. Additionally, I recently received my free eReader from NLS and am rather curious myself about how the whole accessibility thing works with Braille. To tie this into journaling, I started a gratitude journal last year and part of the website is rather inaccessible with speech output from VoiceOver. The actual journaling part works well, but the other features don't and I want to test out their site on my eReader.

I also just read about the apple release, I have been working on my app for a couple of months already and just don't want to throw it away just because of apple will take up a big market. I will try to distinguish myself by focusing on accessabity, simplicity and some key features

I'd also be happy to help you test. I journal frequently; I've been using Day One for years, but while that app is relatively accessible, the purchase by Automattic has me a bit nervous. Anyway, My Email address is pretty public at this point so I don't mind posting it here: Steve@Sawczyn.com
