I wonder if it would be possible to separate the showing of the latest app submissions from the latest forum posts? I bring this up as in recent days, there's been an increase in app submissions. This is not intended to complain about the submissions, but now that it's happening, I personally find that it's clogging up the forum posts which is what I usually come to the site to look at. I think it would be beneficial to have a separate section for both as we could then get the latest information without sacrificing either.

Dear AppleVis Community,
As our non-Apple forums continue to grow in popularity, I wanted to take a moment to make a request that I hope will improve the experience for everyone.
When we created our non-Apple forums in 2024, we wanted a dedicated place for people to be able to share their expertise and discuss other technologies besides Apple. Our non-Apple forums have proven very popular, and we are honored that people are choosing to have these conversations on AppleVis.

Dear AppleVis Community,
We wanted to take a moment to share an update to our Forum Guidelines surrounding the use of profanity on AppleVis. As of today (01/13/2026), we have made the following change:

Dear AppleVis Community,
Since our 2024 acquisition by Be My Eyes, making AppleVis available in more languages and to more people has been at the top of our wish list. While it took us some time to find the right solution, we are very excited to announce that as of today (11/18/2025), AppleVis offers machine translation of the website and all written content thanks to Google Translate.

Hello members and development team.
I have noticed that after a few days of inactivity from my Applevis account my devices will log out.
Forcing me to reenter my username and password to login to comment or post.
This is slightly inconvenient and I would suggest this feature be removed or only prompting a session expire after 2 months or longer
Thank you for reading my post.

Dear AppleVis Community,
AppleVis is continuing to evolve. We wanted to take a moment to share some recent updates to the AppleVis website over the last couple months:

What would be the chance of adding the ability to post audio clips to the forum? Audio is easy to compress without much loss of perceived quality, and I think it would make it easier to provide high quality accessibility walkthroughs without having to rely on third-party platforms, plus I did check and noticed that AppleVis is already either hosted on or at least served by CloudFlare which does offer this kind of distributed service.
I'd like a platform where I could share blind coding audio clips with the community, and I think this would be a perfect place to do it.

I have a suggestion. When I create a new topic in a forum, like I’m doing here, I noticed it doesn’t subscribe me to notifications by default. That means I always have to remember to manually click on the subscribe button after I’ve created my post. To me this is counterintuitive and not consistent with how other forums work, where typically it would be assumed you’d want to know about replies to a topic you just created.

Hey,,
First, soon will be one year since the acquisition of applevis by be my eyes. Let's just say that this website has just become better since August last year. I am very grateful with all the work the entire team is doing, from moderation to, well, attempts to add old features back :) joke aside thanks so much.

Hi,
Just another request for improvements please. :)
As the subject says, the update to show the forum topic under the title of the post does not show when we click more apple posts link and brows through the pages. It does show for all non-apple posts in the similar view.
Thank you for your great work.

- Filter by Accessibility Rating: We should be able to filter the apps added to the app directory based on how accessible they are according to the ratings.
- Filter by Price: We should be able to view or filter out free apps, free apps with in-app purchases or paid apps.
- Filter by Keyword: We should be able to enter keywords and view the results that do (not) contain them, whether in the app name, App Store description, comments or elsewhere.

Hello team, I hope you are well.
I would like to request, if possible, the password key feature to log in to the site. Especially when we are going to use other operating systems, including on computers or phones that are not ours and that do not have our credentials saved, this would make it much easier.
I would appreciate it if it is possible to help.

As a follow-up to my previously already locked post on the subject of censorship, given that I never criticize without also offering an alternative that I consider significantly better, and being fully aware that this constitutes unsolicited advice because the site decided to act defensively instead of asking me for suggestions, I still decided to make a positive contribution by presenting moderation suggestions based on my own experience dealing with the worst of the Internet as a founder and moderator of a medium-sized programming channel on IRC eons ago.

Hi AppleVis,
Please add iOS and iPadOS next to Forum Topic. It would be usefull for people to know where the forums are being posted.

Hi AppleVis,
After every comment, there used to be a More Like This which would display similar posts that the ones that you're looking that. What was the reason for removing that feature?
Thank you all for all the hard work you do.

Hi AppleVis Community,
When browsing on the AppleVis Website, is there a way to switch to regular clock hours like 8:46 on the AppleVis website? So that VoiceOver does not read: "On Wednesday, October 22, 19:48. I prefer to see it like this: 7:48.
Is there a way to change this?
Thank you.
