Accessibility Comments

Much of this app is accessible with VoiceOver. However, the problems that do exist are so significant that they make this app unusable for VoiceOver users.

For example, I use multiple Twitter accounts. On the page that lists these accounts, each of the accounts has some details listed alongside it, including the number of followers, number of people you are following and the number of messages. VoiceOver does not recognize or read any of this. It will only read the account name.

When viewing your timeline the timestamp of tweets is not recognized or read by VoiceOver.

When you double tap on a tweet, the new page contains the tweet along with a number of options associated with the tweet and the user. On this page VoiceOver will not read the tweet itself. It appears to be recognized as an unlabelled button, but no amount of tapping will achieve anything. This means that it is impossible to tap on any links, tags or usernames that are in the tweet.

When viewing user profiles, VoiceOver does not recognize or read the bio.

When composing a tweet there is a 'More' button that loads a number of buttons giving access to further options. None of these buttons are labelled, so you can only guess and hope that you hit the one you want.

There are other issues, such as on the mentions page, where usernames are announced as "null", but I suspect that I have already mentioned enough issues to have VoiceOver users looking elsewhere for a Twitter app.

This is a great shame, as the app certainly appears to have some great features.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labelling

Most buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

Some parts of the app are accessible with VoiceOver, but not enough to make it usable.
