Description of App

** NEW: view, create and edit Excel spreadsheets for free! Plus: open, edit and save spreadsheets from Dropbox. **

Accessibility Comments

This app seems to be very accessible. VoiceOver reads all cell coordinates and says "selected" to indicate which cell is selected. I was able to enter numbers into cells then insert a formula to give the total of the numbers in a column. It is easy to select entire rows and columns. I was also able to cut and paste data from one cell to another using Excel's edit menu. VoiceOver hints are included to tell you things such as "double tap to select, double tap with two fingers to select and access edit menu".The formula content area about the spreadsheet reads very well as well. The ribbon and it's contents reads just fine. I'm really amazed at how accessible this app is using VoiceOver.

VoiceOver Performance
