Accessibility Comments
This app is mostly accessible with VoiceOver.
The only significant problem that I have enountered is when viewing the news categories page. On this page each category has three news stories. Unfortunately the title for each of these is announced by VoiceOver as an unlabelled button.
News stories themselves appear to be fully accessible, as are the page that list the headline news stories and the blogs.
When you go to the Catch-Up page VoiceOver does not announce that the page contains an active element. However, simply double-tap on the bulletin details to start playback.
