Welcome to AppleVis

A community-powered website for blind and vision-impaired users of Apple devices.

  • Seek and share information on the accessibility of apps developed for the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch and the Mac.
  • Read and share guides, tutorials and tips to help VoiceOver users get the most from their Apple devices.

Campaign of the Month

The subject of our current campaign is SiriusXM Internet Radio. The newest versions of their iOS app have serious issues for VoiceOver users, and the older versions that were accessible now no longer work with the SiriusXM service. Considering that this is a subscription-based service with a large number of blind users, we encourage you all to support our campaign to make the app accessible.

Visit the Campaign of the Month section of this site to read more about this campaign and to see just how easy it is to add your support.

The AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame

Showcasing all that is great about iDevice ownership, our Hall of Fame is where we acknowledge and celebrate the passion and hard work that developers put into creating great and accessible apps.

May Vote Now Open

Visit the Hall of Fame to see which apps have already been inducted, find out more about this month's nominations, and to nominate and vote for the apps that you think deserve to be inducted.
