I use Hourly News. It is easy to use. You can choose what sources you want to 
hear. You actually hear the reporters speaking as opposed to having VoiceOver 
read articles. It was recommended by AppleVis.

Re: Accessible News App

2013-09-10 Thread Chris Chaffin
As far as news, there are many accessible ones, and it is really depending 
on what you are looking for.

I, personally, like two apps:
Hourly news: this app lets you choose which news agencies that you want to 
get your news updates from.  You have a choice from sources like, NPR, Fox 
news, ABC news, CBS news, BBC news, plus more.  You just start the app, and 
it will give you the current news from all of the sources that you select. 
And the news updates are all audio.


Breaking news: This app gives you notifications and keeps you updated on all 
current news.  You also can choose which sources you get your news from. 
Like CNN, BBC, and so on.  These news updates are not audio.  You just flick 
down the news one item at a time, and if there is something you want to read 
the news about, then you just double tap on it, and it will take you to the 
page with the full news article.


Both of these apps are demonstrated in a podcast done on Applevis.com.
Here is a link to that page:

HTH,

Chris Chaffin
