Hey Mark and the rest of the list, I have been utilizing the iPhone for almost as many years as VoiceOver has been on the devices. The only exception being the first year as I did not have At&t service in my area. I however was using an iPod touch.
1. This first item is a pretty new option, but it makes my world a ton easier. The ability to check my blood sugar with a third party app such as DexCom or LibreLink. 2. Navigation applications: Seeing Eye GPS XT, Apple Map or even Google Maps. 3. Social media Applications such as Twitter (find me @BlindWorrell, Twitterrific, Facebook (this one is necessary evil to keep up with family and friends) and iMessage. 4. Sports applications: MLB @Bat is my goto app for baseball, The Athletic is a new and accessible service much like ESPN’s app. 5. News applications: Apple News, Newsify, Feedly, etc. They allow me to keep up with technology news and current events around the country. Honorable mentions: Carrot Weather, Buffer, Trade Rumors, Anchor.FM, OverCast, Pedometer++, OutLook and many more that I can’t remember off the top of my head. Ed > On May 24, 2019, at 11:48 AM, M.
