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

I used to be here back in the day but left when it went to subscription. I re-installed it to see how it looks now and I have to say that it is probably one of the least intuitive apps I have ever encountered. Can play questions and answers easily enough, and could probably answer questions,but there seems to be no way to switch to record function, obviously there is, but it’s not self explanatory what so ever, and with a recording app it really needs to be as simple as a setting or a finger swipe, but it isn’t. I shall now be cancelling my subscription before the free trial runs out, and would urge anyone not to bother with it.
Very poor pricing model
This app charges, and does not really explain why. It shows that they charge $49 per month or four dollars per month. That does not make sense at all, the developer needs to really check when they are writing things up. The community in this app isn’t very good now it’s paid, they have unfortunately ruined a good thing.
Brilliant
I have had this appe for six days now and it is absolutely amazing for me.
Vorail
Absolutely love the app!!!
This is a really good app
Vorail is a really good app. I have been using it for a while now. I don't have many friends and using Vorail has helped me to make some more. Although the downside seems to be that not many users are from the UK. I am a visually impaired iPhone user so i use voice-over. This app is completely accessible with voice over. I have tried a few different apps for chatting to people, many of which are not accessible. I think that all apps, especially those for meeting new people, should be made legally accessible to anyone. I would recommend this app to anyone either site impaired or fully sighted who is looking to meet new people
Nice app but very negative and full of cyber bullies
Nice app, nice developers by overwhelmingly populated by bullies and negative people. Cyber crimes I.e. Harassment of other users is never removed and an anonymous feature on the app allows users to outright defame people with no apparent recourse. I have never personally been targeted but I don't like the way this is run so I will respectfully step away.

Good little app for the visually impaired.
