Okay seriously. I haven’t chimed in until now, but… I’m really tired of the multiple messages saying the same thing. Also getting annoyed with the forwards from other lists about essentially the same topic. If you feel that Marty should invest time in to Android versions of his games, then please email him off list. Enough is enough already.

Subject: Re: blindfold games for android oh come on you gotta be kidding me! android not accessible or partially accessible? that is rediculous! maybe that was true with android gingerbread and icecream sandwitch in 2010 and 2011 but starting with jellybean in 2012 android accessibility began to greatly catch up with IOS. These days its just as good as apple stuff, but without the high development costs of apple. I had a tablet running on 4.1 jellybean and it worked fine. My android marshmallow tablet is better than that one and I'm sure android nougat and the later oreo will be even better. but not really because everything in android is an app. so i get webview virtual web buffer updates and talkback updates and accessibility API updates even though my devices may still be on android marshmallow and lollipop.

Well, Apple changed some format; the developer MUST MIGRATE to the new format for continued development. Developer believes that such a migration will be an expensive proposition and therefore unwilling to dance to the sound of Apple's drums! Therefore, there shall be NO FURTHER development or updates for Blind Fold games. In addition, developer only made money within a three-month period following release of games; otherwise, it's flat land here and there. I wonder why the developer never gave thought to developing for Android? Oh wait, I know; Android IS NOT accessible!! No, it is ONLY PARTIALLY accessible and NOT ENOUGH blind users!! Anyway, if I can find more extracts from the developer, I'll post in this space. Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado
