The best I can say about the Sirius XM iPhone app is that it is kind of accessible. There are 5buttons, undefined by Voiceover which get you into different categories such as on demand and favorites. I use it to play on demand programming and with a little practice that is pretty manageable.
I understand that there are other apps that allow you to sign into your Sirius XM account and listen, using those alternative apps. I plan to try that when I get the chance. If you are thinking of using the app to listen to your favorite channels live, I would suggest that you add them to favorites and find them that way when you wish to listen. The app does not identify each channel by name, at least not in a manner that Voiceover can see. Instead, you will hear what song is playing on each channel as you scroll through the list. A lack of accessibility is unfortunately what I've seen for the most part, when it comes to Sirius XM online. But the app is free and they allow you a trial period on the service before committing any money. At least that is the case with Sirius and XM here in Canada. So I would give the app a try and see what you can do with it.
