Accessibility Comments

Very accessible. Make sure you have hints on in the rotor because there is helpful hints VoiceOver provides, for example, when you are in a sub reddit and on a topic, after VoiceOver tells you what the topic,author, how many comments etc, VoiceOver will say, "double tap for post details, double tap and hold for actions"

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

I guess this information I am about to give will be third hand to whoever is reading this but, I have read a couple comments on Apollo, on how the developer is quite receptive about fixing VoiceOver bugs . And how the bugs are usually fixed in the next app update.

Apollo is incredible!
I have it in a folder, on the front page of my iPhone. I’m even a beta tester for them.
I can definately attest to the fact that the developer is very interested in receiving feedback.

I'm pretty this is the app that wasn't very accessible a while back, I'm glad that the developer is very receptive to feedback regarding VO.

I doubt it's actually going to be released to the public sadly so I'm glad this app is very accessible.

I am loving Apollo but there are a few things I can't seem to do and I'm not sure if it's my Voiceover skills lacking or the app has a few more things to iron out.

Is there a way to open links in posts or comments without turning VO off? Same goes for subreddit sidebars; I can't go through sidebars by paragraph or line and am unable to access any of the links in them, they just read as one huge chunk of text the same way posts and comments do. Would love any help with this.

I believe you can access links by tapping them, I've done this before, also try the pass through gesture to access a lot more. I can read by paragraph if the person formatted it correctly such as those who post on the vatsim network.

Over all the app is good, however, it needs some work, such as sorting the friends in the u/ not u/[letter] as that sourting method makes them appear in the list of subreddits. I did post that on their subreddit btw.
