Accessibility Comments

As for accessibility, this app was designed with screen reader users in mind. All buttons are labeled, and easy to find. The how to guides are all organized nicely, and are efficiently read with VoiceOver. The only bug that I have found is that sometimes, when I click on the how to guide section, it will take a long time to load.

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 am finding this app to be very useful, and very accessible with VoiceOver. I recently got my NLS eReader, and it's been a good while since I've used a Braille display. This app seems to contain a lot of material. Just a bit ago I searched the app for "NLS", and found some resources so I think I'm good to go. The portion of the app which contains videos may be a bit questionable, but I'm just figuring everything out so only time will tell.
