Also, if you really want an app that lists all the accessible apps, or at least
most of them, a friend recommended the "via," app that Braille institute
created, which I personally love, and use on a pretty regular basis, so that
should at least be some help to those who don't already know about
The usual problem with accessibility seem to fall in two buckets. First
is the developer uses standard controls which are accessible but forget
to label a button or leave out other tidbits of state/value information
which would make the control usable. The second bucket is that they made

Why not have Apple hire an accessibility team which would consist of all the
disabilities. This team would bear the responsibiility of determining
accessibility: thus, no ambiguity. After all, who knows better than we how to
test such things?

If it's mandatory for some apps to be accessible, but not others, who will
determine which are to be accessible and which not? And if you talk about
feasibility, doesn't that start to become a little like inaccessible apps don't
need to be accessible, but accessible apps must be accessible? Who
Would be nice to have a way to give an accessibility 'star rating' for
apps that would get aggregated. So I could then search/sort apps from
most to least accessible from user feedback just like any other kind of
rating system. That covers the issue around "accessible" being just a

I didn't think about the process this way but you made some darn good

I agree that providing refunds for inaccessible apps would be a good policy,
but I accept that there would have to be some limitations. Firstly, sometimes
what one person says is inaccessible, another person claims is accessible.
Sometimes things are only accessible once you learn how to use the
Apple's accessibility number is:
1 (877) 204-3930
Note that, just as with standard support, you will be asked for your product,
serial number, and so on. Just get to a human and explain you have a policy
question, not a tech support question, and you should be okay. I have not yet

Perhaps if we called the Apple Accessibility number? This might perhaps be a
good time to provide it: however, I don't happen to have it just now.

I agree, and I just wrote to them. I did not copy and paste your message, but I
did ask for clarification on their policies, and if they plan to address
