Accessibility Comments
VoiceOver reads all page elements, and all buttons appear to be labelled.
Using a barcode scanner is always likely to be an issue for a blind user, but the one in this app appeared to be better than some, as it automatically recognizes and captures barcodes.
I did find the interface a little hard to follow in places. There is a lot going on, and the app could certainly benefit from having hints added to some buttons.
