Hello Everyone, I am cross-posting this to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing list.
As of the latest Twitter for iOS app release, v7.8, VoiceOver users cannot access article headlines located in the "Trends for You" area. Please join me in requesting that the Twitter for iOS VoiceOver "Trends for You" bug be resolved as soon as possible. The following is the review I posted in the App Store. You are welcome to use any or all of it in your feedback to Twitter: [BEGIN REVIEW] SUBJECT: Request to Fix VoiceOver Accessibility "Trends For You" Bug Unlike in previous versions of the app, in the latest release of Twitter for iOS (v7.8), VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision, cannot access the "Trends for You" area of the app. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 1. Make certain that VoiceOver is enabled. 2. >From within the Twitter for iOS app, select the "Search and Explore" tab, located near the bottom center of the display. The current headline article will be displayed. This area of the screen is VoiceOver accessible. 3. Either by single-finger swiping from left-to-right or using explore-by-touch, place VoiceOver focus on the "Trends for You" heading, located just above the middle center of the display. 4. Now, single-finger swipe from left-to-right in order to read the currently trending article headlines. In previous versions of the app, the trending article headlines would be read, out loud. Now, however, swiping from left-to-right results in nothing being read, out loud, even though there are trending article headlines being displayed on the screen. The only workaround, at this time, is for a VoiceOver user to continue swiping from left-to-right, until VoiceOver focus lands on the "Show More" button, the activation of which, will result in a VoiceOver accessible list of trending article headlines. I fervently request that this VoiceOver accessibility bug be addressed as soon as possible. Thank you, [END REVIEW] Here is my tweet on this issue: [BEGIN TWEET]: Please fix #iOS @Twitter app #VoiceOver #TrendsForYou Bug. See #MarkTheWave iTunes Review for more details. @Support [END TWEET]: The following is the text of the feedback I submitted via Twitter's feedback tool, which has a 500-character limit: [BEGIN FEEDBACK] Request to Fix VoiceOver Accessibility TrendsForYou Bug Select "Search & Explore" tab. The current headline article is displayed. This area is VO accessible. Place VO focus on the TrendsForYou heading. Swipe from L-to-R to read the currently trending article headlines. In prev vers of app, the trending article headlines would be read out loud. Now swiping from L-to-R results in nothing being read, out loud, even though there are trending article headlines being displayed on the screen.
