Accessibility Comments
This app is mostly accessible, but the issues that it does have means that there are better options available.
When viewing the timeline there is an active element beside each tweet. This is a button labelled 'Action Menu'. When double tapped a menu bar containing a number of icons appears on the screen. Presumably these provide access to such options as reply and retweet. However, VoiceOver does not read or recognize any buttons. If you double tap whilst this 'action menu' is on the screen, you will find your self replying to the tweet.
This is the only significant issue that I have encountered. There are minor issues, such as when viewing profiles - VoiceOver will not read the number indicator for things such as followers, following or tweets. Perhaps minor, but other Twitter apps will read these.
When following a link in the app's own browser there are 3 poorly labelled buttons. These are actually, 'back', 'forward', and 'open in Safari'.
For the money, there are more accessible Twitter apps available.
