Accessibility Comments

There is at least one unlabeled button. Scheduling future trips is currently not possible, though the app had that functionality when it first came out, probably a couple of years ago.

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

Although the information about the update says that date/time scheduling has been fixed, a VoiceOver can only schedule a trip for right now. A sighted user can schedule future trips.
