Hi Mark,
I have used sky go occasionally, and overall I have found it to be
acceptable regarding VoiceOver accessibility.
Before I continue, I should point out my occasional use is related to
a slow broadband connection and not the app's accessibility.
When you open the app you are presented with a list of programme categories.
If you navigate this list using swipes, you will hear VoiceOver read
some options which are not visible on the screen like catchup and on
now.
If you go to the end of the list you will hear launcher main menu and
launcher search.
By double tapping main menu, the list of categories will be replaced
by the other options VoiceOver announced earlier.
The search button brings up a standard search field you can use.
When you choose a programme via the categories, ketchup or search,
VoiceOver will read information relevant to the programme and there
will be a watch button.
I have found the video controls to be unresponsive using swipes and
double taps.
I find double tapping the video area, and exploring the controls to be
more effective.
I can't really comment on the sky guide element of this app or other sky apps.
Their is another app called TV Planner that I find very good for sky.
I hope the above makes some sense and it helps somewhat.
Kind regards,
Niall
