Apple Rolls Out Further Accessibility Fixes to the App Store in iOS 6

By David Goodwin, 28 September, 2012

Apple have just rolled out further accessibility improvements to the App Store in iOS 6.

Firstly, the rating of an app is now read by VoiceOver.

Secondly, the app screenshots now have a clear label for VoiceOver users.

Lastly, and this is a real nice one, when on the Search or Genius tabs you will now find a picker control that allows you to move quickly through the listed apps. As I said, this is really nice, and makes browsing search results quicker than it was in iOS 5.

It's great to see that Apple are still actively working on accessibility improvements to the App Store and are rolling out fixes in double-quick time.

Be sure to let us know if you spot any additional improvements.
