Finding IOS VoiceOver apps in the app store

iOS and iPadOS

Hello everyone.
I'm a relative newbie to the forums section on this site, so please excuse my reasking questions which might have been asked before.
I have had an Iphone for over a year, and some of my favorite apps have come because of your recommendations, especially the games. A friend of mine told me that she thought her teacher at the local Apple store had told her that there is some sort of code you can type into the search box when looking for apps in the app store. This code supposedly shows only VoiceOver-friendly apps. Are any of you familiar with such a code or other way of finding only accessible iphone apps? Besides looking on this site and just plain trial and error, is there an easier way?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about the VIA app? It lists the Braille Institute of America's notion of accessible apps.

Hi. If you read the description you might get an idea of the app before downloading. Also make sure you can possibly contact the developer if nothing works the way you want it too. Remember the app iwth the most reviews isn't always the one you want either, but I'd look at the featured tab, and free category charts to see if anything jumps out oat you. Personally I go with trial and error, over most recommendation.

From what I have read, the Microsoft App Store indicates whether the app is accessible or not. I don't see why Apple could not implement a similar system
