Description of App

View and post photos, update your status, read and comment on your newsfeed. Echofon for Facebook makes common Facebook tasks simple and fast.

Free or Paid

Free

Compatibility

This is a native iPhone and iPod Touch app that is displayed in 2x mode on an iPad

Device(s) App Was Tested On

iPhone 4

Accessibility Comments

For the most part, it's pretty accessible, accept for messages, for some reason voiceover is silent when flicking through the list of messages. Also, the friends list doesn't seem to be accessible either. If all you want is a fb client for commenting and stuff like that, then this is a must have, but it still needs work for full access.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labelling

Most buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

#2 Thanks

Thanks Jose, the entry has now been updated.

It's been more than 18 months since this app was last updated, so I would assume that development has ceased. Perhaps no bad thing, considering the developer's 'don't care' response to the accessibility problems that ruined what had been a very popular Twitter app among VoiceOver users.
