Voiceover and the amazon app

Voiceover lags when viewing product page in the latest update to amazon shopping This only seams to happen after performing a search and tapping the product. I just thought I would point this out since a lot of us here use Amazon. Hopefully this can be addressed in a future update

Once this occurs, try to set VoiceOVer focus on an element, let it speak completely, wait 3 seconds and then navigate on. Is the issue now gone until you open the next product?
I've been noticing a similar issue on many web pages. As Amazon's app is powered by WebViews that utilize WebKit under the hood, I thought that it could be the same issue.

I’ve tried this on the latest version and it still happens I’ve even tried turning VoiceOver on and off. As soon as VoiceOver focus land anywhere on a product page, the issue occurs again.

Hi Jimmy V:
Sometimes when voiceover gets slow while looking through a product's information, if I close Amazon, go back into it, a lot of times I am able to swipe through the information without the lag. Hope this helps.
