This list of Android Apps for children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) or Low Vision was compiled by the Thinking Outside the Light-Box: Vision Therapy Support Group. Many of these are available on Google Play and others are available through Amazon and other outlets. Some are free, and others cost up to $1.99.  Many are available on iTunes as well.
