All of Google's apps are blind accessible as are many apps on the Play Store. Sometimes the dev just followed Google's recommendations, other times the dev was asked to label some buttons and such and that was all that was needed to make the app accessible to the screen reader. As an example of an app that was written properly and is fully accessible to the blind using a screen reader take a look at Gone Mad Music Player. The dev had never even thought a blind person would use his app yet since he wrote it following the Google guidelines it turned out completely blind accessible. It's just like with Windows programs; if they were written with the Microsoft standards in mind they turn out accessible to screen reading programs.
