Accessibility Comments

All works well if you don't mind a little swiping around to find a few things... the problem areas are where the focus moves after you choose and answer and parts of the initial explanations. Still fun, though.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.
