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.

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
