Accessibility Advocacy
Hello, I remember when the new google maps app was out and there was a developer here on applevis from google. one of my questions is this, Why isn't the accessibility fixed in the hangouts app and the google+ app. It is not difficult for the fixes to be made since the maps team obviously, did it there is no excuse. I understand that we are a small part of the apple ecosystem but still, the maps team fixed the issues now it is time for the others to step up and own up to there mistakes like the maps team did. There is absolutely no excuse this time. Sorry for the complaining post but I just had to vent.

Hello, As the user of all iOs devices and a new Nexus 7, I can tell that, so far from what I've seen, apps are as accessible on iOS as their Android counterparts. I also hope Google starts giving more attention to the accessibility of their apps.

Google apps can really get annoying , google maps, chrome, and even youtube sometimes... Google really needs to work harder making their apps more accessable.

Yes they need to do work on accessibility especially the gmail app. I can't access my settings on the gmail app.
