Accessibility Comments

Labeling of buttons could be cleaned up: for instance, buttons with labels like "green close" or "report icon" are always unnecessarily verbose and sometimes even distracting. Aside from these monor issues, the app appears to be fully accessible. I recommend using a braille display if at all possible to exam the on-screen text because coding demands precise spelling, punctuation, and syntax. Reading the examples presented within lessons character by character by setting the rotor and then flicking quickly became tedious for me. Otherwise, I'm excited to have found an app that, so far, appears to make learning to code accessible to VoiceOver users.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

hey everyone.
Has anyone done any courses on mimo where you are required to drag and drop lines of code into the right order and then you hit run? If so, can anyone tell me how they did it with voiceover? I have already tried to locate the actions setting on the rotorand there are no actions available ⠠⠊ have also tried double tapping and holding and moving my finger to drag and drop all without any success.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nlambert
