Startisback is only 3 dollars. It takes money to host web sites etc, plus the developers time.
Is it worth $3 to have an accessible app? I think it is. It wouldn't hurt to tell the developer that the app is accessible with screen readers and if you purchase that is the reason why. It reminds me of the Windows 7 start menu, including its issues. I've used it with Window-eyes, NVDA, and the demo of JAWS, so I know it works with everything.
