I find that about half to two/thirds of apps are at least somewhat accessible. Note: I do not include games in this unscientific assessment as I expect graphical games to not be accessible.
There is no actual requirement for apps to be accessible for the blind. Fortunately, VO's integration means apps developed to iOS standards will most likely be at least partially accessible. There is a radio tuner app which will allow you access to Satellite radio if you have an active account. This app is accessible, but I cannot remember which one it is. I live in NZ, so do not have access. In all honesty, the only thing you can do, besides trying to generate enough noise for hopefully convincing the company to make adjustments, is find an accessible alternative. We really need to remember that we are an insignificant market at only 0.5% of the population. Though we desire to have all apps be accessible for us, how many of us consider access for other disability populations. For instance, how many podcasts, especially those created by blind people, include full transcripts for those who are deaf? Until we all start doing so with every podcast we create so that deaf people can have equal participation, I would say we are the pot calling the kettle black.
