Accessibility Comments

The station list and players work. I was also able to set an alert for my local county. But the NOAA tab is full of graphical maps, that section unfortunately isn't too useful for VoiceOver users.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

Other Comments

NOAA Weather Radio station feeds are user-powered. If your local area does not have a radio feed available you can set one up, however there are plenty that have been set up and no longer work.
