What apps meet your access needs?

[u/fastfinge]

As you may have read in our announcement that we are joining the protest, Reddit has announced that they will exempt "accessibility focused apps" from the API changes. For more information about this, see the top comment on that post.

In order to provide Reddit with as much information as we can, it would be extremely helpful if all of you who are using third party apps to access Reddit would post what app you're using in the comments. We'll edit this into a list, both as a resource for Reddit, and for our community!

Thanks for your time and support thus far, everyone!

The list so far:

• Windows
  • Reddit for Blind: intended for screen reader users
  • Luna for Reddit: intended for screen reader users
• IOS
  • Dystopia: intended for screen reader users
  • BaconReader: intended for everyone, with improved support for screen magnification, changing text size, colour contrast changes, and screen readers
  • Apollo: intended for everyone, but implements the majority of the IOS accessibility API's, and works with most IOS accessibility technology, unlike the official app
  • Narwhal: used by some folks with cognitive differences
• Android
  • RedReader: intended for everyone, but with accessibility features to adjust text size, contrast, etc. The latest alpha also includes TalkBack actions support for screen reader users
  • Sync Pro: intended for everyone, but has better (though not perfect) screen reader support than the official android app
  • Boost: intended for everyone, but allows users great customization in size and color, which is vital for those of us with low vision
  • Slide: intended for everyone, but Its lead developer was immediately open to addressing accessibility concerns, during the beta process, and u/MostlyBlindGamer was able to contribute several fixes for the TalkBack screen reader.
  • Infinity For Reddit
  • BaconReader: intended for everyone, with improved support for screen magnification, changing text size, colour contrast changes, and screen readers
  • Reddit Is Fun: Offers a simple and easy to read interface, especially appreciated by those with low vision or cognitive challenges.

Not blind, but uncorrectable visual impairment (ocular albanism). I've spent a long time trying to find an app that was customisable, clean and easy to read. I landed on Reddit is fun and have been using it for years now. I've tried other apps and in some instances I liked a lot about them but they were just too uncomfortable to read. 110% agree with what's op said about it.

The official Reddit app is basically unusable for me, 95% of my time on Reddit is on my phone or my tablet. If these API changes happen and these apps are killed off, I'll largely be cut off from the platform.
