Trust me, I have had to buy a couple of things shopping that I had no idea what they would look like when they arrived, once satisfied, couple of times not so satisfied, but that is just me.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at with this statement. I'll very seldom purchase an application if I can't take it for a spin first myself, and in general I've been able to do this. If I can't try it myself first then I'll rely on reviews, demos and podcasts. I'm not sure how a sighted person would do this any differently. Maybe you're talking about how a sighted person can see a picture of a product on line before buying it or take a peek at some screen shots, but when I've asked my sighted family for help or watched them purchase things on line, this doesn't seem to help too much! I don't like the house analogy myself, the difference in price is just too great, as is the time commitment. Actually I find analogies in these types of arguments to be pretty useless myself. They always seem like a one sided stretch, but i understand that's the point. I do agree though that for myself I'll need a trial/demo or a really convincing review or podcast before I'll purchase this app. On 07/03/2013 01:31 PM, Rose Combs wrote: > I don't know, most of us who are totally blind do just that when > purchasing anything off the internet. > > Only problem with pricing that I see and this won't matter to me but I > think maybe there should have been a monthly or six-month subscription plan. > Probably will have it on my phone this weekend some time.
