One thing I would like to bring awareness to is with these apps that lock out external functionality to make sure that they do allow for the enabling of VoiceOver or other triple-click-home accessibility feature mappings.
There are very few feelings more frustrating to users than seeing an institution with iPads serving content that's mostly accessible but with the home button disabled and no awareness of VoiceOver.
