#1 I don't find this particularly accessible
I have just tried the paid version which is on sale half price today and I have to say, I don't find it particularly intuitive or accessible.
The interface, at least on the iphone seems incredibly cluttered. There are numerous immage placeholders read out which come in the form of long strings of numbers. The overall experience is a little sluggish so that whilst i imagine you could access everything displayed, it certainly doesn't feel very fluid doing so and all the images just get in the way meaning you have to swipe through a great deal to get at what you want. By all means if I am doing something wrong somebody please tell me.
#2 unlabeled buttons or sections of text
Also, I noticed there were a great many places where voiceover would make a click as if you'd swiped to something but didn't actually read any text out. I presume this is due to poor labeling or lack of lables but again, it just adds yet more swiping to an already very full interface. The way the app loads sections of the site is also not very intuitive because voiceover doesn't make the customary new page loaded sound to announce another section has just popped up, when commenting for example so you have to fiddle to realise what has happened as a first time user. Though I've not tried it extensively, I believe the actual facebook up now with the newly designed interface is far easier and quicker to use.
#3 facely hd can't figure out how to update my status...
This app seems like it would be great, but when I tap status, and type what I want to say, I only see previous next and done buttons. No button to "share." Is there something I'm doing wrong?
#4 Degression
No, it isn't you. I've notice in the past couple of Facebook updates and no updates on this app has really taken a down turn on how friendly it is for the blind. I know what you mean by hitting the Status button and typing in what you want to post there is no other button other than Done. I would hit Done and nothing ever get posted. I used to love this app but recently in the past 6 months I no longer even use this app. So at this poijnt with out an update I do not recommend this app to anyone.
