It's not that most people don't care about people with disabilities; they just don't think about it. Even if they do give it a thought, it's hard for them to understand what we need if they've never experienced problems themselves. App developers are no different. Apple has done a good job of making things usable for as many people as possible with VoiceOver, Zooming and other adaptations. Is it perfect? No, but it's a really good start. But not all app developers make it easy, even with the accessibility features Apple provides.
Bad color choices, small or oddly shaped fonts, non-descript images and a host of other issues can all make good apps difficult for disabled people to use. More than once I've purchased an app only to find that it's nearly useless for me. One app at 99 cents may not seem like much, but it adds up, especially if you're on a very strict budget.
My goal with this blog is to highlight the good, the bad, and the ugly apps from a unique perspective so you don't waste your money, your time, or your bandwidth.
