Re: Current Temperature Pushed

[Karin Cox]

I downloaded an app called Fahrenheit on Tues. It does the same things as 
current temp. The format is a little different but it is completely accessible. 
I cost $0.99.

Re: Fahrenheit -> was Current Temperature Pushed

[Karin Cox]

Hello Jeff,
Yes, that info is there and 
vO reads it. You double tap on the day you want to see, and the info is there. 
The app was recommended by Applevis. Let me know if I can help further.

Easy Envelope Budgeting Aid

[Karin Cox]

Hello list,
>From time to time, the topic of accessible financial apps has arisen. I am 
>pleased to tell everyone that I have found such an app. It works on IOS 
>devices as well as the mac. It is called Easy Envelope Budgeting Aid. It is in 
>the app store for IOS devices. You use it from safari on the mac.
This app is free for basic use, but if you want a more powerful app you may 
want to upgrade as I did. They are very interested in keeping it compatible. I 
have had several conversations about VO and how it works. There is one button 
on the website that doesn't work. When I pointed this out, they tried it with 
VO and are working on a fix. There is a simple work-around.
If anyone wants more info or help setting up, feel free to contact me off list,

You should be able to use Text Edit without problems. It should be installed on
