Hi Emilio, I think that The Read It Later app, which ihas been renamed as "Pocket (Formerly Read It Later)" for some time, perennially has unlabeled buttons, despite inputs to the developers by VoiceOver users. If you want the probable labels for the buttons, you can check the AppleVis entry for this app. I'll give you the links to both the current entry (for this app as "Pocket"), and the previous entry so that you can read the comments for yourself. • Latest review of Pocket (Formerly Read It Later) http://www.applevis.com/ios-app-directory/news/pocket-formerly-read-it-later • Previous review of Read It Later http://www.applevis.com/ios-app-directory/news/read-it-later-pro
I don't think the button labeling status has changed, but it might have. Marco Arment discussed how it was easy to add VoiceOver accessibility in one of his recent podcasts (Episode #95 of Build and Analyze, September 20, 2012 "This Unicorn Doesn't Support NFC"). He demoed what happened with his competitors' apps when you turn on VoiceOver. I think that Pocket was the one where you only heard, "button, button, button", but you can check this out for yourself. The podcast episode web page URL for the discussion by Marco and Dan Benjamin is: http://5by5.tv/buildanalyze/95# and the discussion of VoiceOver accessibility was a little over an hour into the program, I think. It was definitely before the 70 minute mark. Because Pocket has had upgrades since the program aired on September 20, it's possible they labeled the buttons in the most recent versions. I'll just note that if they've done so, they haven't mentioned it in any of their update notes. The good news is that, apart from unlabeled buttons, the AppleVis review seems to indicate that the app is usable. I hacen't tested this myself, since I've been using Instapaper. HTH.
