Accessibility Comments
This app has ben re-designed since it's original release and is now very accessible with VoiceOver. Articles can be laid out in various ways on a page and you can explore by touch, or flick right and left to get to the various articles on the page. This just reads the headlines and you double-tap to open the article in a new page. The menu to get to different sections of the newspaper is accessible too. The swipe gesture to move between pages does not translate to the VO three-finger swipe, but there are previous and next page buttons, so there's no problem. Overall the app is very easy to use.
