Accessibility of Bus Checker app since update

I have felt it necessary to contact the developers of this app as I feel accessibility issues for VoiceOver users have deteriorated since the recent update. Examples are: unclearly labelled buttons; difficulties in getting the map to refresh to your current location to display nearby bus stops; and activating a control from within the app when advised to swipe to select a certain type of bus stop. I have sorted a temporary work around for locating bus stops on the map. On one of the mentioned unclearly labelled buttons, there is an edit search box. If you know roughly where you are - or where you want to be e.g. a town or place, entering this information into your device and carry out a search, brings up a selection of nearby stops on the map to the entered location. this still enables the user to continue to utilise the alert feature of the app which sets off your device alarm when approaching your destination stop. This isn't ideal, but manageable - Just about! If you want to contact the developers, this can either be done from within the settings window of the app, or by visiting www.buschecker.com
