Cheree Heppe here: It isn't that blind people typically feel that we have to get free applications, services, etc.
It's most likely more about the sub-poberty level conditions most blind people are consigned to live under that governs how most blind people see expenditures of this type. I am admitting to having problems imagining why it costs so much for a blindness friendly application like this. I'm going to wait until that pool of app developers who serve the general public work out a good general app we all can use.
