The Silent Struggle: Discussing Accessibility in Music Apps

In this episode of iCantCU, I discuss my frustration with an app for doing a music survey from Alt Nation on SiriusXM. Generally speaking, the app was probably about 70% accessible. However, the most important part was not. You've got to hear the song to rate it. If you can't find the play button, you can't listen. This is not the only app that has accessibility issues, and I'm not the only blind/visually impaired person to have trouble using accessible apps. That is why I am looking forward to Washington Seminar in January. This is part of our agenda when we go to lobby Congress.
