Accessibility Comments

This app is accessible, but the first dialog box gets stuck. It also seems as though dialog boxes don't immediately gain focus, and there are no router actions for podcasts or episodes.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver, but the interface could be easier to navigate and use.

Other Comments

The website itself, which is basically a web version of this app, appears to be broken, but the podcast app itself works very well. One major eye role for me was the app asking to track you across other apps.
