Recommended UK-specific apps

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!

TV-Guide UK (free): a very accessible way to browse what's on television.

I would be very interested in hearing any other recommendations.

I would also recommend the National Trust app. Naturally the map of locations isn't going to be accessible, but the app does contain a lot a information that is accessible. The Welsh equivalent, Cadw, also has an app. Again, the content is very good, but the app has a tendency to crash when used with VoiceOver.

Another app that I should have mentioned is Hot Deals UK. This gives quick and easy access to content on the HotDealsUK website, and is great for finding deals and vouchers.
