I'm not commenting on your comment but rather the overall feel of sentiment over there regarding the app.
Many of the comments sound like a lot of comments from blind power users with a mac for tech. "I don't need it because I'm smart and work this stuff out easily on my own." not to mention that old "Why should I pay for something when it could be given to me free" line. It kind of makes me sad to see how little some sentiments actually change over the years. belittling something that doesn't suit them with disregard of those who would find a product like this helpful. I know people who don't pick things up quickly for whom this app would be very helpful. It's procedure is certainly more helpful than being able to try a few basic things in the voice over menu. Far more like the Mac VoiceOver tutorial in running you through situations. I could see this being very helpful for the elderly amongst other groups. I always wonder and always will, how quick the community is to bag out products for not being accessible but how slow to provide helpful feedback or praise let alone be willing to pay for a product. All power to the developer for putting the time and effort into it and not boxing all VIPs together with the same know how and off the bat abilities.
