Description
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

Ratings and Reviews
It is a good community
This app is really easy to use and very intuitive, it is a very nice social platform for blind people to pool their knowledge and to learn about each other's life.
It seems to be a very friendly community, and would be a very beneficial tool to have on your phone.
The paywall killed it.
Don't get me wrong; there is still a community. But it's a small one and not one I feel like I can connect with. I can't tell people to just download this awesome app anymore, now it's "download this awesome app and pay $5 / month (or $6.50 in Canada.)" It's not up to me to say that the price is unfair, but it is up to me to say that many good people left for the free social networks they've always known, and I understand why. You have to be invested in a community to pay $5 + a month. Some flexible pricing might bring people back; maybe the free accounts just can't post questions and can only listen or reply for a limited time. This thing will be a good moneymaker for a while and then it'll either die or stagnate. Sad to cee yet another voice based social network become unreachable for so many.
Excellent app
This app is a wonderful social networking app which is totally accessible with voiceover. It has many wonderful features such as the option to mute or unmute a person, notifications, like or unlike a person and many others.
