Accessibility Comments

This app is pretty accessible. There is one mislabelled button that I know of, "Gear," and this opens the settings. You have to swipe around a lot to find the different information--as is typical of a lot of weather apps--but as far as weather apps go this is one of the more accessible ones.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.
