It's with a heavy heart today that we're announcing the discontinuation of our award-winning iPhone keyboard for blind users. Apple has thrown us obstacle after obstacle for years while we try to provide an app to improve people's lives, and we can no longer endure their abuse.

Apple, this is disgraceful. This blind developer, who develops apps for the blind, is getting their app rejected because App Review feels it's too similar to other apps. Apple is even standing by their decision, while scam apps get routinely approved on the @AppStore😤

Well one thing about Apple and Flicktype going away is that between no flicktype, and no headphone jack either, that gives me one more reason to next year switch to android for my phone needs and keep the iPad around.

We want to thank everyone who has supported us over the years, and hope to one day return as a "real" keyboard app on your device - hopefully outside of the App Store. If you want to express your concerns to Apple, please email them at accessibility@apple.com. Thank you, -Kosta

PS: For anyone wishing to request a refund, Apple doesn't let developers do that either. Instead, you will have to request one from them here: support.apple.com/en-us/HT20…

Senator @ossoff with some excellent questioning on the new App Store scam findings: “Apple is making a cut on those abusive billing practices, are you not?” “Does Apple refund all of Apple’s revenues derived from those scam billing practices?” Apple: maybe, I think? 😅🤷‍♂️
