Accessibility Comments

Even though, generally, the app is pretty accessible, most days, sometimes accessibility will falter for a few updates but then slide into the accessibility green zone again. If you are an eBook reader instead of an audiobook reader though, you won’t enjoy this app nearly as much, because there's no immediate way that I can tell to continuously read with a, say all, gesture. Typically, the, say all, gesture will read until the end of the chapter. If you are an audiobook reader, this app is very accessible in multiple ways.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

If you have non resident library cards, the content appears to stay the same, no matter what library you use. Audio quality for audiobooks is the best I've ever heard in a public library capacity.
