Accessibility Comments
Really accessible. Some unlabeled buttons here and there, but overall, it's pretty usable.
In the Browser tab, the controls are at the bottom, at least on my iPhone 6S. There is an unlabeled button, somewhere in the controls, that pulls up the address bar.
I checked all the other tabs, and they look clear of unlabeled buttons. But as AppleVis said, not every device can be tested and they won't possibly have the same interface. So keep in touch if accessibility ratings must be changed.
