We are pleased to announce that voting for the 2020 inductees into
<https://www.applevis.com/apps/hall-of-fame> the AppleVis iOS App Hall of
Fame is now open.
Now in its ninth year, the AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame is one of the ways
in which the AppleVis community seeks to recognize developers of accessible
iOS applications. Apps in the Hall of Fame can be liberating; empowering;
life-changing; provide access to information that sighted users take for
granted; or, in some cases, they can just be good fun.
To be eligible for induction into the AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame, an app
must:
* Be fully accessible to blind and low vision users
* Be from a developer with a demonstrated and long-term commitment
to full accessibility of their app(s)
* Have been available in the App Store for a significant period of
time
* Demonstrate excellence in design, functionality and operation.
In short, the iOS App Hall of Fame represents the best of the best in
accessible iOS applications, as decided by the AppleVis community. Existing
inductees include <https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/games/blind-legend> A
