Yes, lack of braille support is why I will never support Kid Friendly
Software until it is developed. Even on an AppleVis podcast, Marty was
asked about braille support, and his reply was that he didn't know how
well it worked, since some people have reported that it does, while
others say it didn't. I'm here to tell you that I reached out to him
over a year ago to try and resolve the braille issues and was blown
off. He now says that braille will be supported in the next release,
but since whoever told him the braille support was working clearly has
no idea what they're doing, I hope he find some other betas testers
who actually do.

example, when attempting to buy a house or mortgage I kept getting the error

RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples to Apples with 
iOS
Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET

Earlier today, RS Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS 
version of its service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly 
Software features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the 
conventional Blindfold series of games.
While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that are 
free include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games come with a 
free 7 day trial which starts the first time you launch them, whether you 
play them right away or not. Once your trial expires on a specific game, you 
can then continue to use it via an in-app purchase. All other games that are 
currently on the RS Games Server are available for purchase. The prices on 
games ranged from $2.99 for a few of the games, up to $5.99 for monopoly. 
There are also bundles available which allows you to save a few dollars. You 
can pay for unlimited access to all games for $37.99. After downloading the 
app, you will find more details under the upgrades button.

This news will have players excitedly downloading the games, the developers 
encourage players to check out the User Guide under the help button before 
trying to play. From the limited testing I've done before writing this 
article, the gestures appear to work well, and so do the keyboard commands 
if quicknav is disabled. Unfortunately, even though there is a setting that 
is designed for braille display users, none of the spoken feedback comes up 
on the braille display during game play. This was tested under 2 different 
iDevices with 2 different braille displays. However, for a 1.0 release, it 
seems quite solid based on initial testing.

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[Gordan Radić]

  
  
Hi!
I'm replying on this one because it's the latest I have. I read the
arguments and came to this:
RS Games client for iOS is a good thing, I wrote to developers about
it sometimes in 2012 or 2013 and I'm glad it exists now for iOS
users.
I don't believe or think blind folks have to get everything for free
and I usually don't have a problem to pay for the app if I consider
it worth it.
However, I tried BlindFold RS Games app this afternoon and I find it
very useful and intuitive but I'm really in the dilemma should I pay
or should I not. Considering the European watt the cheapest game is
$3.25 and the most expensive one $6.99 (if I'm remembering well). My
opinion on this is those in-app purchases should be much cheaper. Me
personally and many people I know don't have a problem to pay for
something which cost $1.25 or $2.50 but spending seven bucks is a
bit too much. There are tones of sighted games with decent graphics
and sound which cost just a few bucks and the same should apply for
the blind games.
Besides that, when I tested the game I was getting the commercial
blocks as seen in the PC app. I don't know are those going away
after in-app purchase but I doubt it because this is general server
thing with broadcasting advertisements to all clients and I don't
want to see those in the paid version. Nobody said anything about it
or I have missed it in the ters and conditions.
So, paying something is not the problem, problem is overpaying
because we are blind. That's why I never gonna purchase KNFB Reader
for $125 and I'll stick to TextGrabber and the Voice.

  Maybe not all blind people want to work for free, either.
Anyhow, why not just agree to disagree, those who think it's ridiculous to pay can play for free on the computer and those who like having access to the games on their iOS devices and who don't mind paying somebody for their effort can pay. I guess it also makes a difference if you are a blind person who is out and about and who may like mobile access to these games or whether you are just sitting around at home for whatever reason where you can play on the computer.

The original developers were able to create the apps for free. Why couldn't they have found blind people within the community willing to work for free to port the app?

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[rowdyameri...@shaned.net]

I Can’t believe how ungrateful some blind people can be.  For years people have 
been complaining that there wasn’t an app on iOS for RS Games.  Now we have an 
app and people are complaining about the cost.  You don’t have to pay for the 
entire bundle of games.  That is only one of the options available to you.  
Just buy the games you want and be done with it.

It takes a lot of time and money to develop apps.  You can’t expect people to 
do it for free!!!  It just seems like some blind people want everything handed 
to them.  I’m sorry if this sounds harsh. I really don’t mean it to be.  Not 
all blind people are like this.  It is just sad that so many of us are.

If you want a version of RS Games on iOS that you can play for free, go out and 
develop it then.  Maybe then you will have some appreciation for what it takes 
to develop an app.

I’m done ranting now.  Like I said, I really don’t mean to offend anyone.  I’m 
just tired of all the bitching and complaining because there are in app 
purchases.

You are missing the point. The people who developed the games for windows did 
it as a hobby because they wanted to and they apparently didn't care if they 
got paid. The people who ported these games to iOS docare if they get paid. 
Apparently it's their livelihood and they need to eat. So, you get to pay if 
you want to play it on this platform.

RE: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[christopher huby]

YOU CAN ALSO USE THE PC/LAPTOP WITH YOUR SCREEN READER THESE GAMES are 
fantastic and the creator should be very proud of themselves not all game 
platforms are multi platform games.

 

I for one am very pleased with this but I can see your point of view as well 
just wanted to let everyone know it is a multi platform product so just think 
of it as being able to play on your phone in your lunch break and then use the 
laptop/pc when you get home this is a bargain!!!

Also, I can get an app for free to play plenty of those games too. It's called 
DiceWorld, and doesn't use some fancy UI that doesn't even use Voiceover. So 
while y'all RS-games folks have to listen to what's going on, I can have my 
phone in my pocket and my braille display in front of me, dicing along. I know, 
most don't care about that, but being able to quickly feel the numbers rolled 
during Farkle without having to spend several moments waiting, for, TTS, to, 
finish, speaking, to know, what, I, have, is just annoying.

RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples to
Apples with iOS Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET  Earlier today, RS 
Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS version of its 
service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly Software 
features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the 
conventional Blindfold series of games.
While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that 
are free include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games 
come with a free 7 day trial which starts the first time you launch 
them, whether you play them right away or not. Once your trial expires 
on a specific game, you can then continue to use it via an in-app 
purchase. All other games that are currently on the RS Games Server 
are available for purchase. The prices on games ranged from $2.99 for 
a few of the games, up to $5.99 for monopoly. There are also bundles 
available which allows you to save a few dollars. You can pay for 
unlimited access to all games for $37.99. After downloading the app, 
you will find more details under the upgrades button.

Also, I can get an app for free to play plenty of those games too. It's 
called DiceWorld, and doesn't use some fancy UI that doesn't even use 
Voiceover. So while y'all RS-games folks have to listen to what's going 
on, I can have my phone in my pocket and my braille display in front of 
me, dicing along. I know, most don't care about that, but being able to 
quickly feel the numbers rolled during Farkle without having to spend 
several moments waiting, for, TTS, to, finish, speaking, to know, what, 
I, have, is just annoying.

Quite ridiculous.
If I were sighted, I could find an app to play for free. People make 
these apps, and rip you off because you are blind. How fair is that?

Also, kid friendly software games aren't worth it in the first place.
I guarantee you if they had partnered with anyone else, it would 
have been less.
I'll stick to playing for free on my mac, and those who choose can 
get ripped off.

Cut the price by 75 percent, and we'll talk.

Hello, if it's free, why am I treated differently, just because I am on a 
different platform? Just seems unfair, Mac Windows is free, IOS, pay. I might

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[Christopher Chaltain]

A company can set whatever price they want. I'm not sure why there's so 
much talk about fairness here. If you think the games are worth it then 
pay for them, if not, then don't. If they're charging too much then 
they'll either lower the price or they'll go out of business. It's their 
call.


I can't speak for anyone's financial situation other than my own, and I 
only know how much something is worth to me. I'd never put anyone else 
down by saying that something they paid for was over priced. I'm also 
very uninterested in whether others feel something is worth it or not.


There are a lot of reasons why someone might charge more for an iPhone 
app then they would for a PC game. It costs a bit of money to become an 
Apple developer, get an App ?Store account and push an app out to the 
App ?Store. Maybe the company wants to recoup those expenses. Maybe the 
company has in house PC skills but they have no experience writing 
mobile applications. If there's going to be an iPhone app then someone 
will have to develop it and maybe they'll charge for their skills and 
expertise. Maybe they see the popularity of the iPhone, especially among 
blind people, and they see how much blind people are willing to pay for 
their iPhones, and they think they can make some money selling an iPhone 
app but not a PC application. Only time will tell if they're right or not.

RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples
to Apples with iOS

Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET



Earlier today, RS Games announced on Twitter that there is
now an iOS version of its service available. The app, was
developed with Kid Friendly Software features many of the
gestures and voice settings found in the conventional
Blindfold series of games.

While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The
games that are free include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and
Driedel. All other games come with a free 7 day trial which
starts the first time you launch them, whether you play them
right away or not. Once your trial expires on a specific
game, you can then continue to use it via an in-app
purchase. All other games that are currently on the RS Games
Server are available for purchase. The prices on games
ranged from $2.99 for a few of the games, up to $5.99 for

[Louise Johnson]

Hi okay I haven’t ever played games on my computer or phone but if I did want 
to I would think the cost should be the same. So computer is free you say why 
can’t they charge the same in the middle so people feel better about this. What 
is the best games out there for a beginner. I am asking this for a phone Louise

RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples to Apples with iOS

Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET

 

Earlier today, RS Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS version 
of its service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly Software 
features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the conventional 
Blindfold series of games.

While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that are free 
include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games come with a free 7 
day trial which starts the first time you launch them, whether you play them 
right away or not. Once your trial expires on a specific game, you can then 
continue to use it via an in-app purchase. All other games that are currently 
on the RS Games Server are available for purchase. The prices on games ranged 
from $2.99 for a few of the games, up to $5.99 for monopoly. There are also 
bundles available which allows you to save a few dollars. You can pay for 
unlimited access to all games for $37.99. After downloading the app, you will 
find more details under the upgrades button.

 

This news will have players excitedly downloading the games, the developers 
encourage players to check out the User Guide under the help button before 
trying to play. From the limited testing I've done before writing this article, 
the gestures appear to work well, and so do the keyboard commands if quicknav 
is disabled. Unfortunately, even though there is a setting that is designed for 
braille display users, none of the spoken feedback comes up on the braille 
display during game play. This was tested under 2 different iDevices with 2 
different braille displays. However, for a 1.0 release, it seems quite solid 
based on initial testing.

Really? You want to find a developer who will do it for free? Blind people
have to eat, too. And, even if they did find someone to do it for free, you
might sacrifice quality. So many blind people are so entitled. They think
that everything should be free to them because they’re blind. Honestly, I’ll
happily put down the money, once  I have it. Get over it. DOn’t buy it if
you don’t want to, but don’t complain about how they’re ripping people off.
They’re not. It takes a lot to port something to the iPhone. Sighted people
pay for high quality games, too. Honestly, this complaining sickens me and
makes me ashamed of our community.

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[Daniel Miller]

I'm really starting to agree with  the poster who said something about people  
being entitled, and thinking everything should be free on all platforms if it 
is free on the others. For one thing, I don't think it should be free on Mac 
and Windows. It takes time for them to develop the games, as well as the 
clients and keep them updated. I think they should charge money just like the 
iOS developer is doing. Not only does it support the iOS developer it supports 
RS directly as well.

Hello,
People will hate me for this... I'm trying it now, but, considering it's free 
on windows, I'm at a loss, as to why I should pay on IOS, just because kid 
friendly software produced it. I'll play with windows, ι think, but nice to 
have this option. maybe I'll write the developers in a while.

Maybe not all blind people want to work for free, either.
Anyhow, why not just agree to disagree, those who think it's ridiculous to pay 
can play for free on the computer and those who like having access to the games 
on their iOS devices and who don't mind paying somebody for their effort can 
pay. I guess it also makes a difference if you are a blind person who is out 
and about and who may like mobile access to these games or whether you are just 
sitting around at home for whatever reason where you can play on the computer.

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[Michael Feir]

You would be hard pressed to find blind people with the skills required to 
produce iOS apps.  it's a very new area of expertise for everyone and 
especially for blind programmers.  the original developers of these games did 
so with knowledge gained over years of programning knowledge and as a hobby we 
shouldn't expect that to be the case always.  there are all sorts of economics 
and other factors which dictate what can be produced for free and when people 
feel that they can charge for their efforts. you don't have to pay for 
subscribing continuously in playing games on RSS servers. I questioned the 
wisdom of setting prices for the games as high as they have. there is also the 
problem of the asymmetry of having costs for one group of users and not for 
another.  however I don't question their right to have a charge for the games.  
 this money will go to support future app development and will likely see the 
benefits of it in both RS games that are free on windows plus the additional 
apps produced by kid friendly software it's much more complicated than people 
with no programming experience think it is. also there are different economic's 
governing the customer base and expectations of developers of games for sighted 
people and developers of games for blind people. A high percentage of blind 
people are unemployed which means there is less spare money available to pay 
for entertainment I don't begrudge paying for any game but I pick and choose 
what I pay for in terms of what really interests me I might not pay for your 
game if I don't like it. that means less advertising and awareness of your game 
that you might have if I had gotten and liked it it's a fine line to be drawn 
for developers trying to set prices in a market that is heavily disadvantaged 
economically

Subject: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

I almost didn't read this because the subject was very vague.  I took 
a chance and when I saw that the link was to Blind Bargains, I checked 
it out.
I've not been an RSS games player, but this might be worth checking 
out.

Here is the full text of the article:

RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples to
Apples with iOS Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET  Earlier today, RS 
Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS version of its 
service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly Software 
features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the 
conventional Blindfold series of games.
While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that 
are free include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games 
come with a free 7 day trial which starts the first time you launch 
them, whether you play them right away or not. Once your trial expires 
on a specific game, you can then continue to use it via an in-app 
purchase. All other games that are currently on the RS Games Server 
are available for purchase. The prices on games ranged from $2.99 for 
a few of the games, up to $5.99 for monopoly. There are also bundles 
available which allows you to save a few dollars. You can pay for 
unlimited access to all games for $37.99. After downloading the app, 
you will find more details under the upgrades button.


This news will have players excitedly downloading the games, the 
developers encourage players to check out the User Guide under the 
help button before trying to play. 

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[Aleeha Dudley]

Really? You want to find a developer who will do it for free? Blind people have 
to eat, too. And, even if they did find someone to do it for free, you might 
sacrifice quality. So many blind people are so entitled. They think that 
everything should be free to them because they’re blind. Honestly, I’ll happily 
put down the money, once  I have it. Get over it. DOn’t buy it if you don’t 
want to, but don’t complain about how they’re ripping people off. They’re not. 
It takes a lot to port something to the iPhone. Sighted people pay for high 
quality games, too. Honestly, this complaining sickens me and makes me ashamed 
of our community.

[Michael Malver]

The original developers were able to create the apps for free. Why couldn't 
they have found blind people within the community willing to work for free to 
port the app?

[Michael Malver]

Thank you for your response. I find it ironic that we blind people ask sighted 
people for excess ability to things we cannot use, but yet we can't be bothered 
to make a program that would be accessible in a way that sighted people most 
frequently access devices.

Thanks for letting us all know about this and thank you and well done to the

Subject: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

I almost didn't read this because the subject was very vague.  I took a chance 
and when I saw that the link was to Blind Bargains, I checked it out.
I've not been an RSS games player, but this might be worth checking out.
Here is the full text of the article:

RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples to Apples with iOS 
Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET
 
Earlier today, RS Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS version 
of its service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly Software 
features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the conventional 
Blindfold series of games.
While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that are free 
include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games come with a free 7 
day trial which starts the first time you launch them, whether you play them 
right away or not. Once your trial expires on a specific game, you can then 
continue to use it via an in-app purchase. All other games that are currently 
on the RS Games Server are available for purchase. The prices on games ranged 
from $2.99 for a few of the games, up to $5.99 for monopoly. There are also 
bundles available which allows you to save a few dollars. You can pay for 
unlimited access to all games for $37.99. After downloading the app, you will 
find more details under the upgrades button.

This news will have players excitedly downloading the games, the developers 
encourage players to check out the User Guide under the help button before 
trying to play. From the limited testing I've done before writing this article, 
the gestures appear to work well, and so do the keyboard commands if quicknav 
is disabled. Unfortunately, even though there is a setting that is designed for 
braille display users, none of the spoken feedback comes up on the braille 
display during game play. This was tested under 2 different iDevices with 2 
different braille displays. However, for a 1.0 release, it seems quite solid 
based on initial testing.

They don't rip you off because you're blind. I purchased the KNFB reader 
which my daughter can do for free since she's sighted. But I was happy 
to be able to purchase the KNFB reader for a fraction of what it was 
back in 2010 which people were paying over $1,500 for that ability. RS 
games on the iPhone is a convenience that one isn't required to purchase 
unless they want to. But someone somewhere had to spend their time 
bringing that to the IOS platform. I'm really happy we have this because 
it gives me something to do when I'm stuck somewhere waiting for rides 
to show up.

If I were sighted, I could find an app to play for free. People make these 
apps, and rip you off because you are blind. How fair is that?
Also, kid friendly software games aren't worth it in the first place.
I guarantee you if they had partnered with anyone else, it would have been less.
I'll stick to playing for free on my mac, and those who choose can get ripped 
off.
Cut the price by 75 percent, and we'll talk.

Hi list. While I agree with a lot of what is said here, one thing you guys need 
to realize is RS games itself did not make that happen. They collaborated with 
another developer, which is the main reason why they are charging to play some 
of the games. As everybody knows, developing apps is all costs Lee and 
time-consuming process. Having every thing free just like it is on Mac and 
Windows doesn't help kid friendly software in anyway.

 RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples to Apples 
 with iOS
 Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET
 
 Earlier today, RS Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS 
 version of its service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly 
 Software features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the 
 conventional Blindfold series of games.
 While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that are 
 free include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games come with 
 a free 7 day trial which starts the first time you launch them, whether 
 you play them right away or not. Once your trial expires on a specific 
 game, you can then continue to use it via an in-app purchase. All other 
 games that are currently on the RS Games Server are available for 
 purchase. The prices on games ranged from $2.99 for a few of the games, up 
 to $5.99 for monopoly. There are also bundles available which allows you 
 to save a few dollars. You can pay for unlimited access to all games for 
 $37.99. After downloading the app, you will find more details under the 
 upgrades button.
 
 This news will have players excitedly downloading the games, the 
 developers encourage players to check out the User Guide under the help 
 button before trying to play. From the limited testing I've done before 
 writing this article, the gestures appear to work well, and so do the 
 keyboard commands if quicknav is disabled. Unfortunately, even though 
 there is a setting that is designed for braille display users, none of the 
 spoken feedback comes up on the braille display during game play. This was 
 tested under 2 different iDevices with 2 different braille displays. 
 However, for a 1.0 release, it seems quite solid based on initial testing.

Re: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[Michael Malver]

I have tried to get sighted people to play these games, but they do not like 
the web interface, and find the lack of graphical user interface on the 
computer offputting. Does the iPhone version have a graphical user interface?

Sure, hit enter and it will advance you to enter your password. Enter 
your password and hit enter again to login. This is just like playing on

It is worth it if you enjoy playing the games. yes you can play on your 
computer, however a lot of people are really going to enjoy this

RE: RSS Games on the Apple devices, was RE: pretty exciting

[Sieghard Weitzel]

This is mentioned in the article. It also mentions that for a one-time price of 
$37 you have unlimited access to all games. We all have to make a living and 
while I am not much into playing games, for somebody who is I understand this 
is not a bad deal.

Sorry I wasn't more specific on the original description. It was a long 
hot day here in Dallas TX and I was ready to crash for the evening.

RS Games shuts the box on only computer playing, goes Apples to Apples with iOS 
Scott Davert yesterday 11:54 PM ET
  
Earlier today, RS Games announced on Twitter that there is now an iOS version of its service available. The app, was developed with Kid Friendly Software features many of the gestures and voice settings found in the conventional Blindfold series of games.

While the app is free, not all games are free to play. The games that are free 
include Slots, Blackjack, Pig, and Driedel. All other games come with a free 7 
day trial which starts the first time you launch them, whether you play them 
right away or not. Once your trial expires on a specific game, you can then 
continue to use it via an in-app purchase. All other games that are currently 
on the RS Games Server are available for purchase. The prices on games ranged 
from $2.99 for a few of the games, up to $5.99 for monopoly. There are also 
bundles available which allows you to save a few dollars. You can pay for 
unlimited access to all games for $37.99. After downloading the app, you will 
find more details under the upgrades button.

This news will have players excitedly downloading the games, the developers 
encourage players to check out the User Guide under the help button before 
trying to play. From the limited testing I've done before writing this article, 
the gestures appear to work well, and so do the keyboard commands if quicknav 
is disabled. Unfortunately, even though there is a setting that is designed for 
braille display users, none of the spoken feedback comes up on the braille 
display during game play. This was tested under 2 different iDevices with 2 
different braille displays. However, for a 1.0 release, it seems quite solid 
based on initial testing.
