Re: Blog post will be regarding Thoughts on the Apple app store
Hallo Vashaun, I would like to have a rating for each app on the App Store indicating its accessibility. Some from "not at all" to "fully supported". If developers do upload an app to iTunes, they have to rate their own app (sex, drugs, violence etc.). We could have an accessibility rating there, too. If developers have to make their selection, they will perhaps think about it and will take care on accessibility issues next time. Greetings Jan --- ColorVisor - The app to identify colors.

Re: Blog post will be regarding Thoughts on the Apple app store
I am a bit concerned that i will buy a really expensive app and not be able to get a refund. I think there should be a trial version on every app even if it's just say 24 hours or something. I see an app I'd like to try but it's like $20 and i can't find a trial or lite version. Its' good if there is info on one of the lists, but if no one has tried the app I'm reluctant to get it. God Bless!

Hey guys and girls. We are wondering what are your thoughts on the Apple app store and you knot having the ability to try before you buy unless there is a life version? What about the refund policy for a non accessible app or not having the ability to do this or that. We are looking for feedback to improve our app purchasing power.
