NFB-NEWSLINE® is a service of the National Federation of the Blind. http://www.nfb.org

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

Ratings and Reviews

This app is good. However, I noticed a few bugs in it. Every time you try and search for something the app crashes

A great start!

EternalCow

I'm thrilled that Newsline is now available as a mobile app. As you'd expect, the app works great with VoiceOver, and even for those of us with some vision the interface is clean and elegant. Logging in and downloading articles is fairly simple, and so far the app doesn't seem to suffer from the bugs and crashes that often plague early app releases.

There are a few minor issues that keep me from giving the app a perfect rating. Even after reading the explanation in the Help section, I'm still confused by the difference between Favorites and Subscriptions also, when you're looking through publications, there's no way to add a favorite directly; you instead have to go into Settings. These are minor quibbles, and I'm sure the experience will be streamlined in future releases.

Keep up the empowering and groundbreaking work.

The ultimate in news content access on the go!
