Accessibility Comments

To get the battery percentage of other devices using the Apple watch, you get that information from Cloud Battery complications, not from the Cloud battery Apple watch app it self. I got a sighted person to look on the Cloud Battery app and they said there was no battery percentage, so, it's not a matter of VoiceOver not reading it. I tried the app on a couple iPhones and a Apple watch and the apps were accessible. No issues.

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.

you have to download the app for every device you want the battery percentage for.I tried the app with a couple iPhones and a Apple watch. I am pretty sure you have to keep the app open in the app switcher on the iPhone. As for the notifications, it seems you have to pick whether to get a push notification when the battery percentage either rises or falls to a certain battery percentage you picked. for example, lets say I pick I want to get a notification for 80%, I have to choose to get the notification when the battery rises to 80 percent (so when the phone is charging), or if the battery falls to 80%, you cannot get notifications for both. Also, check out the FAQ section on the developers website for tips on how to use the app like to improve Apples background refresh cycle, Siri shortcuts etc.

Hmm, that's too bad that happened to you HEXAGON. I have used this app for about a week and it hasn't crashed for me.
