Accessibility Comments

This app, while being accessible, has it's quirks. The puzzle grid is invisible to VO. There are edit boxes below the clue and above the keyboard. These boxes correspond to the letters in the currently selected word. For example, if the clue was, "Barking animal", and the answer was "dog", there would be three boxes under the clue. Double tap on the first blank box and double tap D on the keyboard. You are automatically advanced to the next box, so you can then type O, then G.
Depending on how the app is configured, you are then advanced to the next empty word, or left on the last letter of the word you just completed.
Tap the clue to switch between across and down clues. If you double tap one of the letters or boxes under the clue, then double tap the clue, you will be taken to the word that intersects at that letter, and focus is on the new word.
If anyone has questions about how this app works, ask in the comments.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most 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.

Other Comments

I'm hopelessly addicted to this app! My only wish, other than a few minor accessibility improvements, would be the ability to import puzzles from other sources, particularly The New York Times. Still, Penny Dell has more than enough puzzles to keep me occupied indefinitely.
