Hi Jo,
I unfortunately can't test it quite yet because I have been an Office 365 subscriber for since it came out some years ago and my subscription has not yet been upgraded to the Small Business Premium subscription which allows me to use Office Mobile. I was told by Microsoft that all accounts will be upgraded by the end of the year so I guess it could be next week or in 5 months. I can say that the sign-in screen is accessible *smile*, but of course that doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Pity as I am desperate to use my "i" devices in conjunction with office for work. Hopefully we might be able to campaign Microsoft to improve the app for accessibility.

The app is free, however, one of a number of Office 365 subscriptions is required for the app to work. I am simply posting this for information at this point since I have not yet tested the app for accessibility. In a nutshell (and quoted from Wikipedia) Office 365 is a subscription-based online office and software plus services suite which offers access to various services and software built around the Microsoft Office platform. If anybody wants to know more about Office 365 than please do some research by doing a Google search or by going to http://office.microsoft.com since that goes way beyond the scope of this list. Below are the links for the Office Mobile app in the App Store as well as for an article on ZDNet.
