Does anyone have a particular app that is best accessible for reading text books? I am looking to purchase my college books on my Ipad but, want to find the best accessible way to do this before making any purchases?
All help is greatly appreciated!

Hello guys,
Well I bought a magic keyboard the other day to hook up to my iphone SE. I am a lawyer and wanted to be able to take notes during a trial, and then use voiceover later to have the phone read my notes. When I was messing around with the "Notes" app that comes on the phone, the problem I ran into is the voiceover would read the entire document instead of stopping after my first note. My thought was that I could have the voiceover read the first note and stop, and when I was ready to get to the next point i wanted to talk about I can just swip the screen.

Hello all. Is it better to install a new IOS over an old one or to do a clean install. I know clean installs work better for computers so wondered if that were the case for say an IPad or IPhone? If it is better to do a clean install what are the steps someone should take to do that aside from backing up the device?

Hello, So I am late to the Netflix game. I have read the Netflix iOS app entry and it seems that accessibility may be a mixed experience? What is the best way to use Netflix? Via the iOS app or via an Apple TV? Is one more accessible is what I am asking? Thanks.

I'm staying with a family member who doesn't have a stable internet connection, forcing me to use my data. In this area I get 3g. While trying to stream netflix or youtube, the video pauses and restarts every few seconds. Having said this, what is the best way to watch netflix and youtube using this type of connection and not be forced to restart the video?

Hi all,
I am looking for a good weather app to alert me of civere weather. It would also be nice if it had a weather radio included. Does anyone know of anything? I have heard of weather alert but from what I've heard you can't custumize your weather alerts and it's not very voiceover friendly. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
Thanks,
Holly

Hi everyone. I’ve been using AirPods Pro two since the end of 2023. I’m buying a new iPhone 18 pro and I just looked it up, the 17 pro and the 18 pro use the same Bluetooth 6.0 standard.

There are a lot of cool description apps out here, some with and without live describers. This app aims to bring a mix of both by allowing you to create your own AI agents to describe anything from what's around you, to layouts of buildings, identify objects, read text and everythnig in between. Also usable on meta glasses, come experience the AI visual interpreter system AIVI currently in IOS testflight beta. Signup here. https://aiviapp.xyz/testflight

Hi everyone,
I have been working on Zerogram, a free and accessible Telegram client for iOS, and the project is now approaching its final stages. The current beta is already stable in everyday use, and I am looking for testers who would like to help me improve it before release.
If you are interested, you can join the beta through TestFlight here:

Hi Folks,
I posted this in some existing threads about Clew, but I felt it was appropriate to make a new post in the forum as well.
Based on feedback from many early adopters of Clew (thank you to all!), we are pleased to announce the release of a beta version of Clew that incorporates many of the suggestions we’ve heard from the community.

Hello everyone. First of all, I have gotten permission to post this, since the developer is in a different country and can't post on Applevis do to technical issues.
Anyway, he wants blind users, especially musicians, to test out this app in beta form for IOS. I don't want to spoil too much, but basically it allows you to read with Voiceover sheet music. It's very accessible so far. Very interesting concept... according to the developer, he's planning on releasing the app in a few weeks.
Here's the link:

Quick heads up that if you use Facebook, there is a rather nasty accessibility regression in version 560.0.0 of the Facebook app.
In version 560.0.0 (May 5, 2026), if you open a post, the text of the post is not seen by VoiceOver.
From what I can tell, it appears the post screen has been redesigned. There is a new button that says "Drag Handle" that appears to do nothing when pressed. Reactions, comments, and shares are all tabs now... Or, at least, VoiceOver verbalizes them as tabs. IDK.

Good afternoon. I have been using Youversion to read the Bible on my iPhone. I updated to the latest version the other day and now I am not able to find the search box to search for a reference or key word. Is there another accessible Bible app anyone would recommend? Thank you.

Hi, all, I learned from an entry in the directory of this site about an app called Bible.is. I downloaded it because I liked the plans I thought it provided. After downloading and looking around, however, I find that there are no devotionals/Bible study plans with this app. I was interested in a Proverb a Day devotional and 40-day Bible plans, so does anybody know which app has these particular devotionals? I already have the Bible gateway and Bible app from life church and to my knowledge, these devotions aren't a part of either one of these apps.

I, amongst many, have been using the Bible Youversion app. Earlier versions were very accessible. Version 4 lost some access. Version 5, currently, is completely unusable with Voiceover.
Warning, If you haven't, do not update!
I am attempting to contact known people at Youversion, to make them aware of this. I am technical director of Torch Trust, and we publish data on how to use Bibles. Any comments would be useful through this site, or additionally to Torch Trust.

hi all.
does anyone here on the applevis community site have this bug active on your iPhones?
I'm with this big bug active on my phone, and I'm very surprised that no one talks about it, and even more so for not being even part of the applevis website bug list.
this damn big bug is affecting me a lot because I use voice dictation a lot.
I ask you please give some feedback on this damn bug...
I'm pretty sure this big bug isn't just for me. lol.

Hello everyone,
I am the developer of BigKeys, a third-party keyboard for iPhone that I released on the App Store last week. I wrote to the AppleVis team to ask whether it was appropriate to post about it here and was kindly told to go ahead. I would like to be straightforward about what it is, who it is not for, and what I could use help with.
Who this is not for
