iOS and iPadOS

Hi, Just wondering is anyone experiencing problems reading app descriptions in the app store on ios? for some time now, I have been experiencing a problem when trying to read some but not all app store descriptions for an app where I get to the start of the description, VoiceOver begins to read it, then part way through reading usually on the first line or when I try to flick down to the next line, VoiceOver stops reading and the focus gets jumped to the back button at the top of the screen. Annoyingly the behavior isn't consistant, if I back out of an app and tap on it again VoiceOver then usually reads the description properly. I am considering writing to apple accessibility but don't want to if its only me with the issue.

Yes, it's the same crappy

Yes, it's the same crappy behavior that it has with the Internet browsers. Anytime you flick down by heading, it acts that way. The only way to be able to read the description consistently is to actually touch the part of the screen Where the description is.

Interesting, I didn't know

Interesting, I didn't know there were problems with safari, I have only been noticing app store problems the past few months. I wonder if I should write to apple accessibility about this.
