Not true. This issue doesn't appear to be entirely a VoiceOver limitation but one most likely having to do with software developer. As I've written before, the Google Sheets app can convey various text attributes such as bold, italics, underlined, font, font size, etc--I'm listening to these attributes right now.

I agree. Microsoft has done an outstanding job in terms of the accessibility of these apps, but now we're up against the limitations of VoiceOver for iOS, in that there's o way to query the formatting, attributes etc, of text you're working with. Given that the iWork suite is also a pretty good experience, I hope Apple addresses these issues for VoiceOver in iOS 9. The best hope we have of that happening is to request it of Apple Accessibility.
