Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone here has tested this new app?
i'm currently using Chirp as my twitter app on the watch, but this new app is available for Ios/ipadOS, watchOS, and macOS with just 1 purchase.
I just sent the developer a direct message, and they said that it works with voiceOver on Ios/ipadOS but hasn't been tested on the watch.
Can anyone here provide me feedback?

What about the mac?
Hi, Does this app work on the mac as well? I thought I saw where it did, but I just checked the mac app store, and got no results for, "aviary."
Thanks for any and all assistance.
Any update?
I heard this app mentioned recently on a podcast, and was wondering if anybody has recent experience of just how complete and solid the claimed VoiceOver support is... on both iOS and Mac?
Is there a link
Can someone post a Link

App Directory entry
Here's the App Directory entry for Aviary: https://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/social-networking/aviary
You will see that there are currently a number of significant issues for VoiceOver users that prevent Aviary from being a viable alternative to either Twitterrific or the official Twitter app.
Disappointed
I purchased this app after seeing mention of VoiceOver fixes in recent release notes, but none of the issues mentioned in the App Directory entry on here appear to be addressed.
Checking out the developer's Twitter timeline, he seems to frequently talk about accessibility and VoiceOver, so it's disappointing that this app currently has such significant VoiceOver issues.
The claimed VoiceOver support in the app's description is definitely misleading.
Aviary 2
The developer has now replaced the original app with an all new and shiny “Aviary 2”.
As before, “VoiceOver support” is mentioned in the description.
Once again, this claim doesn't stand up to testing.
I didn't spend too much time exploring the app, as I wanted to get out quickly so that I could cancel the short trial before the subscription kicked in. I have no issues with subscriptions, as developers need to be paid for their work. However, this one seems somewhat ‘punchy’ when compared to the competition.
What I did see during my brief time with the app was enough to convince me that no VoiceOver users have been involved with its development. Like the first Aviary app, it just feels like the developer has made a half-baked attempt at VoiceOver support and called that good enough to merit a mention in the description. Disappointing.
