Re: Flipboard
I use flipboard, and it appears to be quite accessible. Sometimes I have to hunt around the screen to find out where the content is coming from. It's on there, sometimes I just have a hard time finding it. Other than that, I have signed up for two way too much stuff and I have way too much material to read!

flipboard now acccessible?
Recently, I heard that the latest upgrade to Flipboard made it accessible. So I downloaded the app again and can't get past the opening screen which has a getting started button and a sign in button. In both cases, I double tap but the screen just keeps refreshing with those two buttons visible. Double tapping does nothing. If I just sit there with the app open, that screen constantly refreshes showing me the same two buttons again and again. Has anybody figured out how to get past this screen?

I think you're supposed to 3 fing3er swipe left to go to the next page on the right at this point. I was able to select the sign up button and do the process on my iPad.

Re: flipboard now acccessible?
Hi, At the moment you will need sighted assistance to bypass the initial screen. I know for a fact that they are working on it and the issue will be fixed in one of the near-future updates.
