Accessibility Comments
This app is accessible.
Screen Reader Performance
Screen reader performance can vary with this app as it often contains a lot of material for VoiceOver to handle. It performs well on current year iPhone models.
Button Labeling
All buttons appear to be clearly labeled and I’ve not encountered anything unlabeled so far.
Usability
This app is mostly useable keeping in mind that the app often acts as a newspaper web page, with ads and clutter that prevent seamless reading of written articles.
Other Comments
This is a great way to follow sports on a national level and I’ve come to rely on the scores section to get all my event scores. Most teams have individual pages with schedules and you can follow individual teams and sports for better access to interested information.
