  "textContent": "Hi everyone,\n\nMy name is Mark Hill, and I’m the indie developer behind LiveTunes.\n\nI recently reached out to AppleVis because I discovered that LiveTunes had been discussed here years ago, and I wanted to share a major update with the community. I was also happy to learn that LiveTunes is already listed in the AppleVis App Directory, which I really appreciate.\n\nFor anyone unfamiliar with it, LiveTunes is an iOS music app that transforms your own songs into a live concert-style listening experience. It uses venue-style acoustics, convolution reverb, crowd energy, and immersive audio effects to make music feel like it is being performed in different spaces, from small clubs to large arenas.\n\nWhen I first built LiveTunes, I honestly did not fully understand how blind and low-vision users might experience it. Over time, some of the most enthusiastic feedback I received came from blind listeners. Several users described the experience in a way that really stayed with me, especially the feeling of hearing music in different venues and the energy that the crowds add to familiar songs.\n\nThat feedback changed how I thought about the app.\n\nLiveTunes is not a visual aid, and it was not originally designed only for blind users. But it is an audio-first experience, and I’ve learned that blind and low-vision music fans may experience it in a very meaningful way. Because of that, accessibility has become a much bigger priority for me, and the latest version of LiveTunes includes major VoiceOver improvements across the app.\n\nMy goal has been to make every major part of the app controllable and understandable with VoiceOver, not just technically reachable.\n\nI also created a dedicated accessibility page for VoiceOver users here:\n\nhttps://livetunesapp.com/accessibility.html\n\nLiveTunes is free to download with a select group of venues to test out to see what it's all about. You can import audio directly, access your iTunes music library, or import audio from videos. And even create your own concert setlists at no charge. Then if you want more venues, there are optional one-time venue and feature unlocks, plus an optional VIP ACCESS subscription for the full experience. A 3-day free trial for VIP is also available.\n\nApp Store link:\n\nhttps://apps.apple.com/us/app/livetunes-hear-any-song-live/id644106186\n\nAppleVis App Directory listing:\n\nhttps://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/music/livetunes-reverb-crowd-fx-app\n\nI’m posting here because I would really value feedback from AppleVis users. If you try LiveTunes with VoiceOver and run into anything confusing, inaccessible, mislabeled, or awkward to control, I would genuinely like to know.\n\nI also want to say thank you to the blind users who have already reached out over email. Your feedback helped me understand LiveTunes in a completely different way and directly influenced the accessibility improvements I’ve been making.\n\nThank you for reading, and I’d love to hear what you think.\n\nMark Hill\nDeveloper, LiveTunes",
