I think that it is nice that this organization wants to make us aware of these different apps. If you don't want to know more, don't click on the link and simply delete the email. Most sighted people, and blind people, get junk mail. Just throw it away. It seems that many people on different lists for the blind simply are not appreciative of the things that we have. We just got our first iphones and are so greatful that Apple has created such an amazing product. We resisted them for many years, but my husband, who has had surgery on all of his fingers and is totally blind, can access the internet and a lot of information for the first time. Apple technical support is amazing they will take as much time as you need to explain things and give you advice. We need to be careful that our meriad complaints don't stop Apple from having designated service for the disabled and in making such amazingly accessible products. In short, be greatful for what you have and the advantages it gives you. Remember that just five or ten years ago we did not have all of this information. If someone needed to go to an appointment theyt got sighted assistance when they arrived in an area. They didn't just get mad because an asp wouldn't give them all the information. They didn't constantly complain about battery life or what the device that was helping them said. Be greatful Siri tells you the temperature and don't complain about the sense of humor. Maybe we need to develop one. Sorry for the rant, but I am tired of just deleting complaint emails. This list is great and I have learned a ton. That is what we should be doing here. Thanks. Tammy
