As you asked for a "must have app", singular not plural, I would say Weather Radio.

Cipher sender, zello, youtube, urban dictionary, google translate, and Shazam. And as far as games go, grand theft auto San Andreas, trivia crack, adventure to fate battle arena, a dark room, and the ensign.

grand theft auto San Andreas, is that accessible? How much?

By Ken Downey on Saturday, July 25, 2015 - 08:41

I bought Vice City and it's not as playable on the phone as it is on the pc, so I'm wondering how you're playing San Andreas. Please fill us in!

Now the admins could make a nice Must Have Apps in each one profile here so you can get someone you think is cool or who you personally think is a reference on VO and IOS usage and check their recomendations by clicking in their profiles.
This would be a great feature to allow novices or intermediate so to say users here to get info on what the super famous and head folks from AppleVis or just one or another / other guys they happen to like recomend at the moment.

As you see I'm a huge gaming fan so let me know if there are new accessible games. I'm totally blind and I love to hear about accessible games.
Feel free to post your comments below!
Thanks

splyt, unless I am misunderstanding you, what you describe is already in place.

I have installed youtube,dropbox

Many of the above mentioned apps also reside on my iPhone, but there is one not mentioned. If you are a runner or walker, if you love music, if you use music for a myriad of things such as cleaning house, taking a drive, etc., then I highly recommend RockMyRun. this is both a free and paid subscription service. The free version of the app will allow you access to any mix that is 45 minutes or less. Anything longer than that requires a monthly or annual subscription. They have live DJ's who put together playlists and are designed by genre, BPM, etc. I have found music for many things that goes far beyond my workouts themselves. Absolutely love this app.

Voice Dream Reader, MBraille, Audio Defence Zombie Arena, and LiveTunes Concert Simulator.

Voice dream reader, Google search, Blind Square, Google maps.
Jailbreak tweaks, googiri, nownow, an insane amount of activator events, Haptic pro as mentioned above, and the tweak that lets you press the home button to answer a call

It is a way to manage your friends list on xbox live as well as check game achievements. You can also message, add and remove friends. It also works as a remote, but i hardly use that feature.

By musicmyxstress on Saturday, July 25, 2015 - 08:41

So, first you must understand that I am a serious app adict. I download things, if they're free, just to see if they're accessible. Second I'm a music addict. That said, if I was stranded in an internetless place with most of my phone wiped, I'd be fine if I just had Bard Mobile, Read2go, uber, Aurifi, and Noatikl. I'm always hungry for more generative music stuff, and to learn more about the stuff I already have.
