"This app rocks! I hate shopping, so being able to minimize mall time by knowing exactly where to go is invaluable. Thanks."

"I've heard of apps doing this before, but wasn't aware of one that did it so WELL. I am taking a trip soon and have already downloaded all of the airports in question. Marvelous work!"

Accessibility Comments

AppleVis Editor Note: this app was submitted before Usability Ratings were introduced, so one has been chosen on the basis of the accessibility comments made by the original poster. If you have used this app, please post a comment to let us know if you agree with the Rating.

Original Comments: When this app first starts, it brings up a map of the places near your current location that have interactive information. This view is not accessible. Double tapping the search button at the bottom of the screen brings up a list of locations nearby. Double tapping on a location brings up a list of stores/information about that place. The maps of places aren't accessible, but I was able to determine the floor and telephone number for the AT&T store in the mall closest to me. Once you get to the search view, this app works quite well with VoiceOver.

 

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability
