Accessibility Comments

This app is generally very accessible and easy to use. VoiceOver appears to read all page elements. A number of buttons are poorly labelled, but in nearly all cases the labelling is fairly easy to translate into something obvious. The home page of the app is the main victim of this poor labelling. On this page the various sections of the app are presented as a grid of nine icons. The first part of the label for each of these icons is "nav-select-item", which you quickly tire of hearing. Thankfully the last part of the label is the section name, so it is clear what each icon links to.

I will send the developers an email, and hope that they can tidy up the button labelling. Other than these minor problems, I would certainly recommend this app to anybody who is something of an app junkie like myself.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

They have made a great deal of changes since I've last looked at this app. This is ann app that you literelly have to stay on top of to use it at its fullest potential. So if you are a serious app hunter looking for that diamond in the rough then this could be it. The interface and the lack of certain unlabel buttons is something you have to get used to. I personally don't like the fact you have to pay for something like this and the interface a bit weird to get used to. However, I do find apps from time to time that perk my curiousity that I like to try out. I don't think I would have found the app if it weren't for apps like this one. So I have a mixed view on the app.

What's New in Version 1.5

- FINALLY!!! Support for the new iPhone 5 screen size.

- Many bug fixes including app refreshing to wrong day
