Thanks - very useful feedback. I think it has stopped me probably
knocking my head against a brick wall to no avail.
I will try contacting the developers.

I have seen that happen before. My guess is that it has something to do with
how that particular app is coded. I’m not familiar with Voiceover’s internals,
but I imagine it works like other screen readers in that it stores the bitmap
of the item you are labeling. If for some reason the app does not construct
the button in the same way every time, VO can’t identify it. The state of the
control, i.e. selected or not) may also affect the ability of VO to detect it
and you may just need to explore a bit more to figure out what’s happening. I
forget the app where I ran into this now but I finally gave up on it because
nothing I did made the labels stick. Unfortunately the best answer may be to
find another app that works better with VO, but it’s a good idea to get in
touch with the developer if you can and see if they will fix it. If they
properly label the buttons in the first place then you don’t have to mess with
it.

I have an app on my new iPhone SE running iOS 9 which has unlabelled buttons.
I have tried to re-label these buttons using the Voiceover two finger double
tap and hold gesture.
At first re-labelling the buttons appears to work fine after I have entered
the new label text and then hit the save or done buttons in the custom label
dialogue. However then if I close the app and re-open it all my custom button
lables have disappeared.
Obviously I want Voiceover to remember my newly labelled buttons as I do not
want to re-enter them every time I open the app.
Does anybody know what I may be doing wrong?
