Accessibility Comments

THe app works extremely well accessibility wise and is easy to use. All text fields are labeled as are all elements, even if, in some cases, the labels themselves are still a little strange. They are clear enough however that you won't be left guessing what you're doing.
A slight oddity lies in how in some cases, actual buttons have no direct text on them. But if you swipe right you will see what the button's label is. This is most prominent in settings. However, tapping on the element not labeled as a button functions the same as tapping the button itself.
The only thing I don't like is the way otall countries seem to be in the middle of the screen. From a visual standpoint it makes sense, but accessibility wise it does prevent me from getting the info I might want/finding the quick connect button. However, it's there in case you have a specific server you want to connect to.
Fortunately it is easy enough to collapse the country list. Just for the "card view is..." element, and swipe up or down to expand/collapse it.
Note: Unfortunately your preference for the card view isn't saved when you exit the app.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface could be easier to navigate and use.

Other Comments

Although many in app subscriptions are offered, NordVPN runs promotions on their website which is fully accessible as well. You may also find an offer in the Speedtest app.
A one week free trial is offered to start. If you buy a NordVPN plan off their website, you will have to ensure that you are not also set to subscribe through iTunes.
Note: Although the iOS app is accessible, there is, at this time, no way of using the NordVPN program on Windows as it is completely inaccessible.
Additional notes:
The NordVPN Twitter feed is a great way to keep up with security related news, such as data breaches. You may also get a newsletter in your inbox once a month, which I highly recommend reading.

I was able to log in, and connect to a server with the Windows client. Although the fields aren't labeled, guessing the first in the tab order is email address and the second is password works.

If after you switch to the NordVPN window and find yourself in a search field, either right away or after a few presses of Tab, just type a letter, any letter, so the search window populates with results. Then, tab several times through some unlabeled buttons, until you land on a Quick Connect button. Activating that connects you to the best available server, which is often what you want to do anyway. Or, use search and then your screenreader's OCR function to find a server in a particular country or region.

So, it's nowhere near as accessible as the iOS app, but it is doable if you're persistent enough.

When I tried it I was able to log in. However, after that I ran into a dead end. I wasn't able to navigate at all, and I didn't see any search results when I tried to type. Tabbing also got me nowhere.
I do wonder if someone could make a NordVPN addon for NVDA though.
