I love comparing notes about various apps with my sighted friends and recommending them. As has been mentioned upthread, I help out my sighted friends when they get stuck, and they help me, too. The give and take is really something amazing. The similarities in usage seem more transparent in iOS than on a computer somehow. Maybe it's the touch-screen factor. Everyone has to use the touch screen for at least some functions, where's many totally blind people don't bother with the mouse on a computer. I have met sighted people who prefer keyboards to mice, but that is a point outside this discussion.
