[NFBCS] Twitter accessibility

[Aqil Sajjad]

My TW Blue suddenly stopped working too. And like you, I too have tried reinstalling it but it just isn't launching any more. In any case, twitter should make its website accessible to us without having to use another app. It of course goes without saying that a good app is also important in its own right because it makes it a lot easier, just as using an e-mail client is much more efficient than using webmail through a browser.

The question is why do these big companies keep ignoring accessibility. Is it  worth filing a complaint with the department of justice?

My TW Blue stopped working yesterday.  I reinstalled it and even tried the portable version, but it will notlaunch or connect to Twitter.  I have been using it successfully for years until yesterday.  Nothing has changed on my Windows 10 computer.
