Hi everyone,
This weekend is a great time of year to go hunting around the app store
for some bargains. Thursday just gone was Thanksgiving, Friday was
"Black Friday" (kind of like the Boxing Day sales only on the fourth
Friday in November), and this coming Monday is Cyber Monday -
essentially what they tried to bring to Australia as Click Frenzy
spectacularly badly last year. So there are a lot of things on sale in
the Play store.
I've looked at a lot of the apps, and bought several, though I would
have to say, most of them don't really score particularly well in terms
of large print accessibility at least, and I think probably not for
speech either). One I was particularly hopeful for was Blackbar, a text
adventure game, though having bought it (and got a refund and wrote
politely to the dev), I can tell you, have a look at the screenshots on
the Play store, and base your decision on being able to read those - the
magnifier would work on it but it's not Talkback accessible at all, and
there are no options for changing colours or text size.
In any case, here are a couple of links to places with lists of apps on
sale:
1. @app_sales on twitter: https://twitter.com/app_sales (there is an app
on the play store as well).
2.

3. http://www.androidcentral.com/black-friday-game-and-app-sales-android
(watch the first several groups of links are for the Amazon app store
rather than Google Play).
4.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/11/28/black-friday-sales-roundup-the-best-deals-on-apps-devices-accessories-and-more/
To find most of those I simply did a search for "android black friday
sale". A search of the play store for the word "Sale" can get results
as some devs rename their app "My App - 80% off sale!", though it does
also find apps for finding sales or calculating sales tax etc.
If you find any that ARE accessible in any way, please share with the
group as everyone loves a bargain!
Regards
Quentin.
