Accessibility Comments

This app has some accessibility issues -- mainly that most of the buttons are not clearly labeled. Additionally, there is an unlabeled button at the bottom of news stories which does nothing when double-tapped. Stories and comments appear to read fine, and sharing articles is possible via an element labeled "Share"

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

Few buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

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

Just curious as the subject asks the question. And, how do we know which button is the share button so that we can label it for VO?
