Vorail is home to the global low vision and blind community. Most folks meet by seeing each other and think that’s enough. At Vorail, we feel sight is just not the right way to meet someone new. When you use the Vorail app, you meet people by their voices, their contributions to conversations and the questions they ask. No pictures. The true beauty of a person lies within and if you hear our voices, you’ll quickly understand. Come hear what you’ve been missing.
Vorail is controlled by gestures, not by pushing buttons. List of gestures at About page of http://www.vorail.com

Responsive and really interesting - Voice chatting with total strangers
If you like asking many questions, this is the app for you.
You ask a question and someone will answer; most of the time at least.
If you don't like a particular person, you can ignore them.
Should there be a friend that you particularly like to chat to, you can like them and if they like you back, you can sent private chats to one another.
The nice thing is that you can just use your voice.
And who knows, perhaps you may even find your future best friend, partner or whatever, on this system.
I like the quick pace in development and the idea.
It is taking shape, as time goes along but, everyone is sort of part of the evolution.
Well worth your time; and free; at present.
