Hi, I don't want to be overly harsh regarding this app since being death blind is something that I have absolutely no experience of and the thought doesn't bare thinking about, but unless I'm missunderstanding it, it seems like all this does is lets person a type using some form of input device and person b type using the screen. Here's a pro tip: 1: Open Messages, Notes or any other app with an edit box. 2: person a can type in whatever he / she wants using their device of choice. This shows up on the screen. 3: Person b then types in a response. 4: Using standard iOs controls, person a reviews said response and replies accordingly. 5: Repeat.
Please tell me there's something I'm missing? If this is going to be usefull to the death blind subscribers on this list then that's great - I'm extremely happy for you, but to an outsider, it seems a little basic. Cheers, Ben.
