Update Usability
Major update to the NHL app
Today the NHL app was updated to version 7.0. I have been looking forward to this update ever since the NHL teamed up with MLB Advanced Media for their online services. Given how accessible the MLB app is with VoiceOver, I was optimistic that, when they released the all-new NHL app, it would have the same VoiceOver experience.
This initial release of the new NHL app isn't perfect, but it's way better than the previous versions. I am happy to say that MLB AM has not disappointed me here. Those who used the MLB app might notice some similarities in the design, such as with the notification settings screen, but the app overall is still quite different from the MLB layout. Nevertheless, everything I looked at so far is quite accessible, although I think the scores tab could still use some work.
This release should be treated as if it was a version 1.0, because it really is. It has its share of bugs, such as crashing on my iPad when I switch between landscape and portrait modes, and the TV information for upcoming games seems to be missing some channels like NBCSN and NHL Network. Overall, I really like where the app appears to be headed, and as a big hockey fan I can't wait to see what else is in store.
