Accessibility Comments

I've been using this app for a long time now. Ever since I've used it, it's been very accessible. Recently, the developer added support for Voiceover reading out the chord changes when viewing the sheet music in the chart.
Definitely try this app out. :-)

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.

Question

Is there any podcast showing how it works with voiceover? It seems really interesting to learn new songs or different arrangements for songs i already know.

At the moment, no

Hi. At the moment, there's not a podcast demoing this app from a blind person's point of view.
