Hello! Yes, Duolingo is accessible with VoiceOver. Some screens are a bit hard to navigate, for example, the screen you get after completing a lesson, but the content itself is very accessible

Some parts of it can take some getting used to and figuring out, but on the whole yes, it is certainly accessible enough to be usable, and I have found it a really good way to learn. Enjoy!

I've been using Duo Lingo for a couple of months, and while it's not my favorite app to navigate, it's mostly useable. My biggest problem is trying to navigate to my next lesson. Not sure if it's me problems or VO problems, but it often takes several tries to find the button that will actually start the lesson. Since there's no way I could ever justify $10 a month for it, I am using the free version of the app, which may or may not be a factor. If I tap on the notification in my notification center to get the next lesson, I almost never have any significant issues, but sometimes, I don't have the notification to jumpstart the next lesson, and that's where things tend to get a bit frustrating. But, if you're patient, you should be able to work with it just fine. I'm using it to brush up on Spanish, so added a Spanish keyboard and a Spanish voice to my VO roter. I think that makes a bit of a difference, but not necessarily in the part of the app I struggle with. Good luck, and I hope you end up enjoying the app.

What about the apple app? Does it work. Would not mind learning Italian since I already know Spanish. Willing to help with learning.

I've used it every day for over 1000 days, not that I've learnt any Spanish, but I've learnt how to use Duolingo. Mostly is accessible but there are a few screens where you've got to remember which word buttons you pressed and which I haven't. Also the volume is a bit low so I use an activity to equalise the volumes when I open up Duolingo works well.
