How do you select and copy an app’s description from the App Store?

Can someone please tell me how to copy an app description to share with a reputable website such as applevis? I tried using a pinch gesture to select the text, but it doesn't seem to work. I can't seem to use the rotor to activate VoiceOver's editing features. What am I doing wrong?

I don't know if this is the best way or only way to copy static text (i.e., text not in an edit field), but there is a VoiceOver gesture that lets you copy the last thing VoiceOver said to the paste board.

You can copy the last thing VoiceOver said by doing a four finger quadruple tap. Then use the rotor to go to Edit and hit the paste option in any edit field.

Maybe there is some other way, but unless you're using a keyboard I don't know about it

I simply tap 4 times with 3 fingers and select that way. It copies the last thing spoken to the clipboard.

hope that helps a bit.
