Accessibility Comments

Interface: Some buttons are not labelled, causing internal properties to be read or, in some cases, no information at all. However the essentials of the app such as choosing a song and playing difficulty are usable.
Playing: To play the piece Voiceover must be turned off for optimal performance and responsiveness. Since this game focuses more on rhythm and chord theory, there is no keyboard to adjust to, it is merely a case of touching the screen with the appropriate number of fingers according to the chord and the difficulty level being played.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Other Comments

Playing Songs

I have really been only able to play on the super easy difficulty made for absolute beginners. I played Piano for over ten years so know more than tapping to the rhythm. How does this work on the normal/medium difficulty?
