Accessibility Comments

I've only just downloaded this app, but it appears to be quite usable with VoiceOver.

There was a pop-up when I launched the app, which VoiceOver didn't read, but once past there the only problem that I have noticed are some unlabelled buttons. Once I have added some custom labels to these, I think the app should be fairly easy to use.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labelling

Most buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.
