Android TalkBack: The Play Store

Hi, my name is Ricky Enger. And today we're gonna check out the Play Store where we can find lots of great new apps to install. We're using a Google Pixel Phone for our workshop here, but what we're learning should be pretty much the same for a lot of other Android phones as well. Every phone is a little different, though, so if things are in a slightly different place on your device or if there are other little changes in how things work, that's okay. If you scroll down a little ways on the workshop page here, you'll find some great resources. Plus, there's info on how to contact us if you need to.

You know, one of the best things about having a smartphone is that there are so many apps available. There are entertainment apps, online banking apps, apps for reading books and the list goes on and on. So how do we find all those lovely apps and get them downloaded? Well, that's what the Play Store is for. Just like any other app, there are lots of ways to open it.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your email address, name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free-of-charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
