Ioana,
In February you wrote this developer was improving VO access. Have they accomplished this? Thanks so much.

Key word is yet. buddhify: mindful meditation by Mindfulness Everywherebuddhify: mindful meditation by Mindfulness Everywhere https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/buddhify-mindful-meditation/id687421118?mt=8 It was featured on radio shows where I heard developer speak and in other "life hack" type of podcasts. Different from headspace and other of the top mindfulness apps out there, it is a 1 time buy with no subscription. So I tried it and totally not accessible. However, I wrote the developer and response was incredible. I got refund from him and they promised accessibility updates. Now they released a major one and it actually mentions vo improvements. Still one cannot use the actual meditations yet but the reading material about meditation the why and the how is now usable and very well done. I have high hopes and wanted to at least give a shout out to a great responsive mainstream developer that promises to do things for vi users.

He wrote the book Love, Medicine and Miracles that described how people beat cancer through meditation and positive affirmations. I have ripped Bernie’s CD’s and digitized cassettes. He played these on headphones after cancer surgery and the patients had much better outcomes than those who did not hear these affirming meditations. I listen to them when I am sick. Now, they can be placed on an iPhone and be played through the headphones for an ill person whose mindset can be changed to improve their health.

Headspace, which I think is the most popular mindfulness app, has become a lot more accessible lately. They are making good use of the actions rotor now. As well as the JKZ apps which Anna has already mentioned and are fabulous, my favourite mindfulness app is Calm. They have a range of meditations, scenes which have audible elements, such as a crackling fireplace or ocean sounds. They have sleep stories and music too. Every day, there's a new 10-minute meditation called The Daily Calm which I think is very well done. There's an app called Simple Habit which offers five minute meditations for busy people. Another that offers a few good meditations is called Simply Being. Hope that helps. I do 15 minutes of meditation each end of the day so I find having a few apps to choose from keeps things fresh.

I’m wondering if any of you might be able to give me some suggestions of accessible apps dealing with mindfulness or meditation. I’ve browsed the app store and there are a ton of them, but I have no idea which ones work with VO. Any help would be very much appreciated.
