Accessibility Comments
VoiceOver can't navigate the password edit field, nor the username edit field because both appear as one word immediately after the other, such as, username password. If a VoiceOver user does not use a password manager, they will not be able to login to the app because the fields cannot be swiped to, in either direction.
Reading an eBook is not possible on this app, period. The library doesn't have labels on their titles so if you have more than one book in your library, you will not know what the book is unless VoiceOver OCR reads the cover.
Reading a book is impossible. VoiceOver isn't seeing any text as an element. It's just an unlabeled image or some sort of control. I actually couldn't even tell where the reading area was after multiple times and navigating through the entire reading screen.
Buttons are not labeled. Some buttons aren't even labeled as buttons, but paragraphs.
The menu at the top of the page for login also doesn't immediately gain focus and the account menu doesn't stay focused when opened.
