Accessibility Comments

There are some accessibility problems with this app.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labelling

Most buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

There are some really wierd issues with this app. First and foremost. You can actually Like a status or leave comment even if it doesn't have one yet! That is a first. Ther interface is poor. There are a lot of swiping to the right to read a status. There is the status then follow by a Like or Comment button to Like the status or even Comment on the status. If there is already a Like or a Comment you will see a button next to this butto So swipe right of the Like or Comment button and if there is a button labled button. This takes you to page that you can see the Comments or who Liked the status. The bottom rows are Notifications, Requests, Messages and Chat. The first three are accessible. The top row is where it gets really funky. I don't quite understand it very well but there are buttons up here I have a very hard time understanding. Playing around with it a bit you can change how your messages displays. There is a ticker item of where I can select from a variety of choices to view your statuses. Follow by more unlabed buttons. At one point I was able to see my profile, images, and other areas of Facebook. What I am going to do if it possible is have a sighted person help me label these unlabled button so I will be able to manuever around a bit easier. So with Focus app being deleted off of my phone for now I either use the Facebook app or this app. It isn't for everyone I will warn you. It will drive you nuts in all those swiping but what other alternative do we have? It is free and planning on contacting the developer in possibily making this more freiendly. I will post if I hear of anything new.

#1 hi, I just downloaded this

Submitted by Holly on 22 January 2012.

hi, I just downloaded this app but it's still installing so I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet. When I was searching for it I noticed that there was a Ace for Facebook pro that cost $0.99. I didn't look at it so I don't know if there are any differences between it and the free app and I'm not buying it unless it works exactly like Focus did or even better, but it's there.
