Hello Mark and everybody, this is Mike from Oklahoma. Just read your email mark on the weather in Amazon and dating and just want to say I am along with you looking for an accessible weather app with voiceover. Right now I am using the native weather app, and the weather channel app. They both tell me enough to get me by for right now, but, I would like a more accessible weather app. So Mark and everybody I hope this helps. I am along with you looking for an accessible Weather app that works well with voiceover.
