Accessibility Comments

VoiceOver support is explicitly mentioned in the app description, and the app meets the challenge gracefully. I noticed very few instances of VoiceOver Rotor usage, but it seems that the Rotor isn't needed much. I also found a few unlabeled buttons here and there, but they don't get in the way of using the app. Its Siri Shortcuts integration also serves as a good accessibility tool.

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.

Other Comments

The website Radio.net offers a large database of radio stations, and the app faithfully mirrors that. The development/support teams are also receptive to suggestions, station additions/modifications, etc. The app description talks about 40,000 radio stations, but the website mentions 60,000, and the latter seems to be more accurate as the app description might not have been updated.

When I tried casting with this app, I managed to get it to connect to my Nest Mini. But instead of sending the audio to the speaker, it just turned down the phone's volume. Not sure what's going on here.

I just checked out this app entry and it seems to be good. I think I will download/install it on my next iPhone. Their website is very good, and the web player even seems to work well. This might be a good alternative for podcasts, as I'm slowly but surely becoming addicted to those.
