Hi,
I'm curious if anyone else has noticed a recent change to the way MLB's iOS At Bat app displays information when viewing league standings. Previously this used to be a table you could navigate with Voiceover and it was marked up for pretty solid accessibility. It did require you to move through several items for each team. For example one item might read w, 80 for the current team. The next would read l, 70. You could use the row setting to move down a column. In a recent update, the table has been eliminated and the standing information has been concatenated into a single string such as this: 2nd N L Central, Milwaukee Brewers, 80 Wins 70 Losses, 5 33 Winning Percentage, 4 Games Back The problem here is that now key information, that is still shown visually, has been left out. For example, a team's win/loss record for the past 10 games and the number of games until a team is officially eliminated are now skipped. Ignoring the missing information, I'm curious if people have a preference for how this sort of information is communicated. The use of true tables for me allows for more rich exploration of the data, such as stepping down a given column. The concatenated approach, however, I suspect is more approachable for a wider population of users. Thoughts, Kelly -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
