Accessibility Comments

I think the accessibility could definitely be improved. Sometimes when you’re flicking right to go through the list and you double tap the books, sometimes they don’t seem to open which means sometimes you do have to scroll up or down with three fingers to get it aligned with what you’re trying to listen to. When it comes to navigating the app, sometimes you’ll hit a line that just says screenshot. I’m pretty sure this just means that it’s the line space before the next book but I’m still playing around with it.

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

Ok so despite some of the accessibility flaws, I absolutely love this app. Jeff Hayes, the guy who narrates the audiobooks of dungeon crawler Karl, which I highly recommend listening to, is the CEO. I first heard about this app when listening to one of the audiobooks for dungeon crawler Karl on Audible. They were doing a full on immersion tunnel of DCC and as soon as I herd that I was soled especially because I am absolutely obsessed with dungeon crawler Carl. They do have a lot of full on audio dramas with music, sound effects, actors, etc etc. Prices for the books are pretty reasonable as well. Let DCC season 1 be your first listen. It’s pretty epic! They’re in the middle of recording seasons two and three right now which should be out close to December but if you become obsessed like me, they have all seven of the audiobooks on Audible lol. I even bought all the print books for shelf trophies, even though I can’t read them.

Sound Booth Theater for the win!

I've been listening to books from Sound Booth Theater, and Jeff Hays solo before them, for many years now. He and they are absolutely amazing. I do hope this app gets some accessibility love and future updates, as I would absolutely love to have direct access to SBT's products.

@ Brian

Jeff Hayes can basically have my credit card at this point lol. Also you do have direct access. It’s pretty easy to make purchases through Soundbooth, It just depends on your level of patience. For myself, it’s pretty easy to navigate and do things, but I didn’t wanna give anyone high expectations. Everyone’s level is a little different when it comes to VoiceOver so I’d rather folks have low expectations and be surprised then have high expectations and be disappointed.
