Accessibility Comments

This app is for the most part very accessible, save for the part where you actually choose which book to read. When u open up the app, you will get a list of options which include "Book", "Email", and "Info". After all that is your current page on which the book titles are listed, which in portrait mode will be 20 pages worth of titles, with 4 titles per page, located in a box style set-up at about the center of the screen. To move to the next page from this section, swipe left with VO turned off. VO does not read these titles to you, so you have to turn off VO and tap once on one of the four books listed on the current page to open it. after this, you can turn on VO and see which book you happened to open up. All of the options thereafter, including the actual reading of the books is accessible. To turn the page, either double tap next or back. TTS works well too, but there is no speeding or slowing down of the reading and you'll most likely use VO to read the text anyway, which makes it unnecessary. The slider you will find lets you quickly turn through multiple pages at a time.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

Other Comments

It's free for now but not sure for how long. Again, as I stated in my previous app posting on Shurlock Holmse collection in this section, this is a good way to get the books altogether without having to track them down individually.
