Congratulations! I'm glad to hear you're already enjoying the iPhone; some people who get it with the expectation of loving it straight away end up struggling for a while before they get the hang of things.
For Facebook, your best bet is the official Facebook app. It's not perfect, but it works. Their other apps--Messenger, Rooms, and Stories--are also accessible. Twitter has an accessible, official app too, but I prefer third-party ones. Twitterrific is really nice, and is currently my primary app. Tweetings has some cool features and is worth a look, and I've heard that TweetLogix (possibly not spelled correctly) is another good option. As for other apps, that all depends on what you're looking for: games, word processors, book readers, social networking, navigation, money identifying, bar code readers, object identifiers, light detectors, and plenty more. As always, I highly recommend www.applevis.com <http://www.applevis.com/>, specifically the page for new iOS users, as a great place to start. Personally, the apps that pop into my head right off the bat are: * Voice Dream Reader, for reading just about any text/audio book or file that isn't encrypted. This includes Bookshare, Instapaper, Dropbox, and plenty more, all built into the app, and you can use third-party voices from the likes of Ivona Neospeech, and others to read. * Dice World is a collection of six dice games, and is beyond accessible. * Lire is an RSS reader with tons of great features, and is so accessible the developer has a section in the app's settings for VO users to decide what information to hear when reviewing article lists. * Red Laser is a free bar code reader that works really well, once you get the hang of it. * Downcast or Overcast are two nice apps for handling podcasts. I use Downcast, but I've heard great things about Overcast as well. * Carrit Fit, Carrot Hunger, and Carrot Weather are all fun apps. Fit and Hunger are for exercise and calorie tracking, respectively, and Weather is (not surprisingly) a weather app. All three are fully accessible. Anyway, AppleVis has a lot more information, including an entire page of apps we recommend for new iOS users. > On Apr 18, 2015, at 11:36 PM, 'Maxwell Ivey' via MacVisionaries > <[email protected]> wrote: > > hello group; just got an iPhone last week. have been very happy with it so > far. also got a bluetooth keyboard. i am wondering what apps people are using > for twitter and face book.
