Description of App

9to5Mac is now available on iPhone and iPad, the leading website for iPhone, iPad, Mac and more.

The 9to5Mac app takes the core experience from the website and brings it to your home screen. View the latest stories in a layout optimized for the iPhone
and iPad with large photography and rich native typography. On iPhone, rotate into landscape to quickly skim between stories with a split-screen mode.
Take advantage of the Dark Theme for comfortable reading at any time of day.

The 9to5Mac app also supports Notifications. Subscribe to breaking news and story alerts to always stay up to date with the latest developments in the
Apple ecosystem. You can even add a 9to5Mac widget to Today view in Notification Center to see most recent stories from anywhere on the iPhone and iPad.

Straight from the story, share the news with others and view reader comments inline, with threaded replies. Posts and comments respect the system Text
Size settings so the app always reflects your preferred reading habits.

The 9to5Mac app is a beautiful companion to the website experience. Give us your feedback and look forward to more updates coming in the future.

Accessibility Comments

This app has some accessibility issues -- mainly that most of the buttons are not clearly labeled. Additionally, there is an unlabeled button at the bottom of news stories which does nothing when double-tapped. Stories and comments appear to read fine, and sharing articles is possible via an element labeled "Share"

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

Few buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

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

Would this work on an IPod touch as well?

Just curious as the subject asks the question. And, how do we know which button is the share button so that we can label it for VO?
