Version 2 of this app was recently released, and it introduced an issue for VoiceOver users that I have never encountered before.

The main screen of the app now includes a banner advert, which reloads every 5 seconds. When this happens, VoiceOver focus is moved back to the first item on the page. To make things even worse, it happens on every single page in the app, even though the banner advert is only visible on the one page. So, you have 5 seconds to navigate and read a page. If you don't manage it, you will be bumped back to the top of the page. As 5 seconds will barely get you past the top menu bar, this makes the app unusable.

The latest update appears to have fixed the problem where VoiceOver focus was being moved to the top of the page every 5 seconds.
