Common iOS and Android apps used on both systems

Common apps between iOs and Android If choosing either Samsung/Android or iOS, look at the tasks that are needed to be performed and if the apps to do those tasks are accessible. Two specific apps which are not currently available on Android are the Microsoft Sound Scape and Seeing AI apps. As the Seeing AI app currency mode doesn’t work with Australian currency, Cash Reader is recommended for both iOS/Android. Where it is not obvious what the apps listed are for, there is a short description. 13Cabs 7Plus Ten Play SBS on Demand ABC iView (ABC online streaming) ABC Listen (ABC Radio stations) A Blind Legend (audio game) Aira (for the Aira service via phone camera Aldi Amazon Alexa (for use with the Amazon Echo hardware and giving access to use Amazon’s digital assistant) Amazon Amazon Music Amazon Prime Video Apple Music Audio Game Hub (various self voicing games) Audible (for use with Audible books - nice thing about Android version can buy within app) Be-My-Eyes (assistance for free via video contact to volunteers around world) Blind Bargains Blind Drive (fantastic blind driving audio game) Blind Cricket BOM Weather CoronaVirus Australia Calm (excellent wellness app) Cash Reader (currency identification) Chrome (web browser from Google) Coffee Link (for use with the Delonghi touch Coffee Machine) Coles Dropbox Dyson Disney Plus eBay Ember (for use with the Enmber temperature controlled BT mug) Evernote Facebook Fitbit (for use with the Fitbit bands - I use this with my Fitbit Charge 2) Google Assistant (Google’s digital assistant) Google Fit Google Duo Google Home (for use with the Google Nest smart speaker hardware) Google maps Google News Google Play Music Envision (uses camera for text recognition, surroundings, photos etc) Lazarillo (excellent GPS app) Kindle (Kindle eBooks): again can purchase Kindle books within the Android app. MbMimic (for use with the Mount Batten Brailler) Messenger Menu Log Outlook (Microsoft Outlook) Music Healing Netatmo (for use with the Netatmo indoor/outdoor weather modules) Netflix: Pocket Cast (pod catcher) Ring (for use with the Ring video doorbell) Sensibo (for use with the Sensibo AC device) Spotify Music Sunu App (for use with the Sunu Band orientation & Mobility device)) Skype SuperSense Tile (for use with the Tile Tag tracking system) Tripview (public transport for Sydney and Melbourne) TuneIn Radio Twitter Uber Uber Eats VIP Code Reader (accessible QR code reader) Vision Australia Connect (for the VA Library) Voice Dream Reader (document reader via speech).
