Accessibility Comments

Although much of the content in this app is accessible, too many unlabelled buttons and a far from intuitive interface (at least for anybody who has to rely on VoiceOver to know what's going on) make this app unusable for VoiceOver users.

There are many buttons that appear to do nothing when double-tapped. I can only assume that something is happening on screen, but VoiceOver gives no feedback. As an example, there are buttons labelled 'Top Left' and 'Top Right' which appear to do nothing. Certainly there is no clue from their labels as to what I should be expecting to happen.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labelling

Few buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

Some parts of the app are accessible with VoiceOver, but not enough to make it usable.
