Empowering blind and low-vision users of Apple products | AppleVis - 0 views

  •  
    Apple Vis: http://www.applevis.com/ Target audience: Blind and low vision users of Apple IOS devices. Quality of information: The Apple Vis site is community based and relies heavily on feedback and posts from end users of Apple products and related apps. The information is not peer reviewed and resembles a blog or user forum. However, there is a hall of fame of apps that have been voted to be useful and accessible. Apple Vis is a good resource where a consumer can look up an app to read feedback and comments from other users before committing to purchasing the app.
