Accessibility Comments

Blast and double blast: and I don't mean set to stun: it's hardly usable at all.: you can get the sound effects if you know where to tap: two buttons near the bottom: where the dock is. I have search their supposed support page for any way to contact the developer, but there's just nothing I can find. Insult to injury (well, disappointment if not injury anyhow), the phone part of the app is completely inaccessible. Where's the federation BBB when you need it. sigh. If anyone finds the contact info for these galactic killjoys, please let me know!

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labelling

No buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

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

Other Comments

My sighted daughter thinks it's pretty cool though...
