Hi All, It behaves this way because the search results are not actually displayed as a vertical list.
Each item is displayed on a full page that includes a screenshot of the app. A sighted user would swipe left or right to move through the results. When Apple first switched to this style of display, I seem to recall that it was quite clunky to navigate with VoiceOver, and you had to do a 3-finger swipe to the left or right to move between items. Their solution now makes it work in some ways like a traditional vertical list, the difference is that instead of scrolling down or up as you flick through the results, the next or previous app slides onto the screen. This is why none of the usual methods for moving to the top or bottom of a list work. I hope that this makes sense (smile) David On 24 Nov 2013, at 00:05, Cara Quinn <caraqu...@caraquinn.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > Has anyone else seen this? > > I was wanting to see what apps came up when I searched on the term 'blind' in > the App Store so I typed that in. > > I then flicked right many times to go down through the vast list of apps > which are available from that term.
