My understanding is the same as Karl's. I'm not sure why people have to
jump to the conclusion that there's something going on here or that
anyone is playing games. I usually just take it at face value that
Google is discounting an accessibility app for no other reason then
helping out some blind people and getting some good will or press out of
the deal. I'm happy for the blind people who can take advantage of this
offer, and I don't resent it if I can't myself. The NFB also lumps it's
share of praise on Apple as well.

To my knowledge the $19.95 price for the Google version of the KNFB
reader was available because of a donation from Google. As far as I
know the product isn’t free but does allow the user to have 25 free
scans before purchasing the product. The reason this doesn’t happen
with Apple is because of Apple policies and isn’t under control of the
NFB.

There is definitely some sort of deal with Google and the NFB. For the
last couple of years, Google has been a "champion" of Accessibility
according to the NFB. I don't think Apple place those games, hence no
price break for Apple customers.

If Im not mistaken, the developer of the KNFB Reader made some
type of deal with Google. The Google price is usually $19.99. If
you got the app Free, great!

I suggest you read the fine print.
As I understand it, you have a free trial period with Android,
then the price is the same unless you come across a sale at
some point.

Hi,
Well, I now have one foot in the Apple camp and one in the
Google/Android camp and have been learning to use a
Samsung Galaxy S8 with Nougat and Talkback. It’s neat to
be able to “see how the other half lives”, so to speak, as
I’ll be able to gain some perspective on both devices, the
underlying approaches and philosophies and so on and I can
then pass that information on to my students.
As I explore and play around, naturally I’m loading the S8
up with various apps and am checking out the Play Store.
While I was there yesterday I found KNFB Reader, noticed
that it’s free for Android users, so I promptly installed
it and put it to the test. I must say, its performance was
very impressive on the Samsung. My question is why there
is a $100 price tag on KNFB Reader in the app store versus
no charge in the Play Store. What’s the story on that?
Thanks,
Tom
