VA Calendar maakt van uw iPad een ideale agenda als u moeite heeft met kleine letters. Alle teksten zijn minimaal vier maal vergroot. En de schermen hebben een vaste indeling om het gemak verder te vergroten. In een paar stappen voegt u een nieuw afspraak toe of wijzigt u een bestaande. U kunt ook de hulp inroepen van de ingebouwde stem en afspraken inspreken als audioboodschap. Het contrast kan worden aangepast voor verbeterde leesbaarheid. VA Calendar integreert volledig met de standaard iPhone agenda en diverse on-line agenda's. VA Calendar is ontwikkeld in samenwerking met Koninklijke Visio, expertisecentrum voor slechtziende en blinde mensen (www.visio.org). Opmerking: Als u meerdere agenda's heeft geconfigureerd dan toont VA Calendar vooralsnog alle afspraken van al die agenda's. Nieuwe afspraken worden gekoppeld aan de standaard agenda die kan worden aangepast via: Instellingen > Mail, Contacten, Agenda > Standaardagenda. We horen uiteraard graag wat u van VA Calendar vindt. Laat van u horen in de vorm van een iTunes recensie of een berichtje naar support@va-calendar.com.
