Richard, I would like some feedback from your testing.
If you have some suggestion on things that could be improved for the VoiceOver users in general such feedback is implemented usually within one week. Most recent example is that one user has suggested today that he doesn't like the position of VoiceOver cursor in the text after the app reads the text and I have changed the scrolling default for VoiceOver users so that the current paragraph is scrolled to the top so VoiceOver would read that paragraph first (that was possible to manually set before but honestly if someone figured that out he was a real expert in accessibility). The example from few weeks before is that user has suggested that the player in the new version can't be easily dismissed and it was improved immediately so that it can be dismissed with the double finger Z gesture. I did note that you had a problem with skip forward/rewind buttons and I believe that this is fixed too (but this problem wasn't particularly related to VoiceOver). Even if you don't expect to use the app there are many people that do and your suggestions will help them to have a better experience. Regarding the Bookshare support I would like your honest opinion if such support existed whether you would consider my app for your personal use / recommend it as one of valid options for such a use case. I like to stand firmly with my promises so I can't promise anything yet, but I do reevaluate this and it may be possible to have such support later this year.
