I agree. I often will write a dev if there's an accessibility issue or request and for the most part they've been rreceptive to input as a Voiceover user. I've even been given promo codes for their apps to try out and give feedback on. Over all, a positive experience.
Not every developer will be interested in making their app accessible, but that's another great part of the Apple app store. More often than not, they'll be another option.

I have done so many times and typically just start out by explaining that I am a blind user of an iPhone 4S and that because of Apple's commitment to Accessibility along with the lack of other fully accessible devices the iPhone and iDevices in general have become the smartphone of choice in the visually impaired community. I also usually mention Viphone which now has over 1,300 members and then I just explain that I have installed said developer's app and find it is hard to use because of unlabeled buttons or whatever other Voiceover issues there may be. If it is something that I think could benefit others I mention that as a developer may be more interested in improving accessibility if he can get some sales out of it.

I am using the Cozi web interface for our family calendar but the iOS app is not accessible. I have no idea how to persuade them to consider making the app VO accessible.
