There are also those apps which are only available on Android and come out for Android first. I don't have any examples in mind, other than say Google, but I know they've been discussed on several lists as iPhone users have had to wait for apps that Android users already had access to.

I don't know the results of the survey you're referring to, but I suspect you're right. Given how recent the survey was though, I doubt it had any impact on the release schedule for the NLS app.

HI.
Sorry, but those choosing to run Android must accept the fact of doing
so that it sometimes results in apps not being as readily available. I
understand the frustration since I'm a braille user and braille is
always a lower priority than speech support for apps. Which is why I
cannot choose Android at this time because of the lack of said braille
support. You may recall that they did a survey asking patrons this
question, what would they use the app on? My guess, and this is all it
is, would be that the majority of respondents said they would use it
on iDevices, so they took that approach. I do agree, why should they
wait to release on both platforms at the same time? There are other
devs who choose Android first, and that's their right.
As to the other questions in this thread, Neil Bernstein estimated it
could take up to 2 weeks given the fact that there are so many updates
coming out right now with the release of iOS 7 pending. . I know it
was at least tested with one iOS 7 device.

HTH,
Scott

Hi,

Yup.  I definitely here yah.  But, maybe that’ just wasn’t practical for
any number of reasons.  Lack of funding, development setbacks, etc.

I don't want to put words in Mike's mouth, but I suspect he isn't saying
that iPhone users should have been made to wait but rather that NLS would
have put the resources and schedules in place so that they'd    both be
ready at the same time.

Hi,

What would have been the point of having IOS users wait for an Android
version of the app to be completed?

Hopefully the android version will not be far behind, I actually wish
they would have released them both at the same time.
Original message:
I was a beta tester, and they just sent out the announcement that the
beta
is over and the app has been submitted.

How do you know this? If this is true then that is great news because
I know
that there are a lot of blind people who have been waiting a very log
time
for it.
