Hi all.

An app I helped create (I did the programming bit) was recently released on the App Store. Note that this is only available in the US. Anyway, I thought it might be of interest to some of the users here. If you have any comments or feedback, please don't hesitate to let me know.

The app is a resource for users of guide and service dog handlers. It particularly has a great deal of info that could prove useful when faced with an access issue or discrimination.

You can find the app at https://appsto.re/us/F8jO2.i

Since I am a Voiceover user myself, it is of course completely accessible.

Thanks for looking, and I hope it proves useful to someone.

Aaron

I'm not a guide dog user myself, but this app sounds great. Its always important to know one's rights and the laws. I use to carry a copy of relevant laws, every time I flew, to use in case flight attendants didn't want me to keep my cane with me. I have gotten out of this habit, but your app sounds like a very good thing for service animal users to keep handy.

Thanks for this simple but very effective app. I have been using a guide dog for 33 years now. It's nice to have this info on my phone. I was the Lions Club of Michigan's White Cane Queen for over one year. Some of my duties included instructing the public regarding the White Cane Law. I, too, have carried a paper copy of the info in my wallet for years. Now, thanks to your hard work and thoughtfulness, we can simply present this in an electronic format, should the need arise. Thanks for the hard work. This guide dog user appreciates your efforts.
