Hello Sandi, Beta testing apps does take time, but that's why I was suggesting a pool of willing volunteer testers who could choose to test apps that interest them. This already happens to some extent with developers who are aware of the accessibility issue. Developers wouldn't be forced to ava

Hi, I think this is a pretty good idea. When submitting an app, if they had to just check off 3 yes or no questions regarding Voiceover, that could really be a good way of generating confidence in the accessibility of a given app. I think it might also have the added benefit of raising awaren

Hi Anne, As usual, you come through with a brilliant solution. Seems like having a pool of ready beta-testers would also be a really easy way for developers to get feedback, and as you say, then they can say that the app has been tested for accessibility. Not sure how this would be implemented

Also, if there were a pool no one would have to do any more beta testing than they have time to do. that would improve the developers' chances of having people who are really going to test the app, and also give people interested in a certain app a chance to preview it. Cheers, Donna On Apr 23
