Accessibility Comments

This app is quite accessible. I have not yet tried importing or exporting as I cannot find how to do them, but I only just got this app (it was free today). The 2-finger scrub works for back buttons, and there are the usual cancel/save buttons (left and right, respectively) when editing anything. Sometimes you have to double tap the text next to a button instead of the button itself, and sometimes you have to split tap instead of double tap. Also, re-ordering records (when editing a database) is wonderful: just double tap and hold and move the record where ever you want! VO fully supports this and tells you where the record is, just like editing the Web Rotor in Settings.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

This is a great app. I got it free, but I would be willing to pay 99 cents, especially if I can figure out how to import from CSV. There is an item in the settings for this app that keeps making it crash, but this is not the first app to do this so I am starting to suspect that I am cursed, rather than any problems in any apps. :) Make sure you give a record a name or VO will just say nothing when you move to that record; I am sure it displays as blank on the screen as well. Overall, this is a great app... it even lets you protect it with a 4-digit passcode which you must enter before the app will launch. I am not sure about additional security for your data, though, but don't store any bank records or credit card numbers and you should be fine.
