Accessibility Comments

Having tried a few other TV listing apps, I didn't hold out too much hope for this one. However, this app appears to work perfectly with VoiceOver. It's a clear and easy-to-use app. Channels can be customized, so that you are only shown the ones you want. The schedule and show details are easy to navigate. Recommended!

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labelling

All buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface could be easier to navigate and use.

#1 Improved accessibility

Submitted by Blind I on 1 February 2011.

Version 1.5.2 was released today, and the release notes say it has fixed some accessibility issues. That does seem to be the case, as items on the 'What's On Now' screen are now read in the correct chronological order.

I haven't found any issues yet with this version.
