Accessibility Comments

Very accessible, save for two things. Checkboxes don't read as checked, but tapping them works. Also, if you tap on an unspent card in your orders section, that's actually a cancel button, though it does ask you first so you shouldn't have any mistakes. I have not tried to actually purchase through a store on their platform yet because of another feature that belongs in the other app comments section, (see below.)

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

Other Comments

I don't understand why they don't tell you this more plainly in the description, as it's very prominent in their FAQ and online in other places, but this app lets you split payments into 4 pretty much anywhere that takes a visa. To do that, select the online button and do a search for literally anything, then do a four finger tap to go to the bottom of the screen. You'll see an option to create a virtual card there. Super useful!
