Accessible reddit app for the IPhone. (self.Blind)
submitted by Embarrassed_Amount_1
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knows of any reddit app for the iPhone that is accessible with voice over?
I have downloaded the main reddit app, but that is a bit hard to figure out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Another one coming here to say Dystopia. It's not on the App Store, you have to install another app to get it and you're basically testing it, but it's much better than any other app I've tried. Also happy to find the link for you if you'd like it.

​

I'm using reddit on Mac OS at the moment though and if you can find your way around it, it's ok on desktop.

Sure, that would be fine. If you can please let me know what to do since I have never done this before, I would appreciate it, installing test software I mean, I would really like to try this, I'm just concerned about my phone acting up a bit.

This is a well oiled late stage beta it should really be in the app store but it’s not! Hahaha!

So, Ifound you this https://www.applevis.com/forum/ios-ipados/i-made-fully-accessible-reddit-app-ios-its-free-ad-less-i-need-beta-testers

It’s on apple vis, so if you go onto it through your phone, then read through the post and click on the TestFlight link, it’ll take you to a page where you can install an app called TestFlight. The link will tell you more accurate info than I can remember here.

Your phone shouldn’t act up, mine hasn’t been since I’ve had it (I’m on iOS 15 if that helps)

There’s Apollo, BaconReader, and dystopia but that one’s in beta. Dystopia is the easiest one to use however so if you want the link, let me know.

Ooh I haven’t heard of Dystopia! I do wish Apollo had the chat feature like the original Reddit app, which is why I have both lol! What’s the Dystopia link?

Dystopia has chats. I wanted it and was the one who suggested it.

i haven't had many (if any) issues with baconreader. works great with voiceover, only downside is there is no chat feature but that's alright. i've been using baconreader for years, since before i lost my sight

Use dystopia for that dystopia had no chat feature and I wanted access to it so I suggested it and here it is on dystopia.
TechnicalPragmatist 1 points 1y ago
I would say use the ios ones they are all pretty good dystopia bacon reader and apollo. Dystopia is stuck on beta for 4 years and not really that much worked on someone called it app hospice ahhahaha! But it is a good one.

Bacon is actually pretty good though too.
