[BEGIN FEEDBACK] Subject: VoiceOver Accessibility Problems To Whom It May Concern, Thank you for providing VoiceOver (Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision) accessibility in TV Guide Mobile. In the latest release posted in the App Store on Wednesday, September 30, 2015, the following VoiceOver problems exist and, on behalf of all of us who are blind or low vision, I would greatly appreciate your attention to resolving them in the next release. 1. The TV Guide Mobile app's Introduction Tour is inaccessible via VoiceOver. Currently, there is no way for a blind or low vision user to easily navigate or exit the tour. 2. In this latest release of the app, in the channel listings view, VoiceOver only announces the channel number. As with previous versions of the app, the channel numbers should be announced along with the call letters; for example, VoiceOver should say something like, "Channel 2, KCBS." 3. In this latest release, the ability to place VoiceOver focus on any item in the table is broken. In previous versions of the app, in the channel list view, a VoiceOver user could place focus on any item in the table. This is crucial to affectively (1) navigate the table and (2) drill down to subsequent item information such as program descriptions. For instance, in previous versions of the app, one could single-finger, double-tap the channel number in the left most column in order to bring up the program listings for that specific channel. While this functionality does exist in the current version, because of the focus problem, it is inaccessible to VoiceOver users. 4. The bottom row of the display, containing the Listings, Watch List, Tonight, and More buttons are extremely difficult to access when VoiceOver is enabled. A VoiceOver user cannot simply use the explore-by-touch method to locate and subsequently activate these buttons directly but, instead, has to swipe (a VoiceOver gesture) down the entire display in order to gain access. 5. In the Channel Listings view, the Menu button, located in the upper left corner of the display, and the Search button, located in the upper right corner of the display are unlabeled. When focus is placed on either of them, VoiceOver merely says, "button." Thank you for taking the time to read this report and if I can assist you in resolving these issues, please do not hesitate to contact me.
