For those that use bacon reader or another reddit client, that isn’t distopea, what makes you use it? (self.Blind)

baconReader has Grid view which allows you to use 1 swipe to move between posts on the Front page or subreddit, and the devs have been very receptive to a11y feedback. I've been a beta tester for them since I started using the app and after giving them accessibility feedback, and the current beta has made it very easy to navigate through comments and even implemented my feedback of enabling rotor actions for comment features in iOS rather than having to swipe through all the individual action buttons for each comment or post. :) Hopefully that makes it out to the production release soon.

That would be great.

What’s making you stay with that app and not go to something like distopea?
Marconius 1 points 3y ago
The familiarity I have with BaconReader since it's what I started with after going blind, and that the creator of Distopea never sent me the beta invite after I requested to try it out.

Ah ok.

I’ll stick to distopea for now but I’ll check out bacon reader again in a couple months.

They just put out a BaconReader update that should have the VoiceOver fixes implemented, give it a shot when you have the chance.

Bacon reader was the first reddit app I used and a friend of mine beta tested the accessibility features

Thanks.

I’ve decided to stick to distopea for now as it’s easy to use
