Accessibility and User Comments:

While the app is in the main accessible, navigation is sluggish with Talkback in particular so if users feel comfortable doing so, it may be worth using it in conjunction with an alternative screen reader such as Jieshuo. Even then though, navigation is inefficient as there is a button next to each post that users must swipe passed, which allows you to interact with the aforementioned post. Exploring by touch is also inefficient as only one or two posts can fit on the screen at a time, so users may wish to consider scrolling in order to navigate.

Despite its inefficiency and sluggishness, however, the app is stable and the vast majority of accessibility problems which occur on other platforms when the app is updated typically do not occur on Android.

Last Tested App version and Android version:
