Accessibility Comments

The app is a bit tricky in places but is mostly accessible. There is an option to sign up for an account, but this does not appear to be required.
The Campaigns tab where you will find lists of brands is mostly accessible, but it won't confirm which category you have selected, and going back can be tricky.
Scanning barcodes works, but there is no spoken or audio feedback while searching for the barcode, so it's not always easy.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.
