Re: NFL App Accessibility

Hi,

I’ve seen no indication that the iOS app will be any better for accessibility 
this year. I tried it again just yesterday.

NFL App Accessibility

2023-07-26 Thread Ron Canazzi

Hi Group,

Since someone else on list mentioned NFL alerts, I am wondering if 
anyone has tried the NFL app and if it is still largely inaccessible 
when it comes to accessing radio feeds.


A little history: I used the NFL App for radio feeds from back in 2005 
to 2020. It was largely accessible if a bit clumsy, but once you learned 
how to use it and what to expect, you could access the radio feeds as 
well as the archives of the radio feeds back to 2004.


In the Fall of 2020, they changed something. They put some sort of 
overlay on the tab that contained the radio feed link/buttons.  This 
made them invisible to VoiceOver.  I tried contacting the NFL 
accessibility phone (which did not work in 2020-2022) and also the 
e-mail--which I finally got a response from after literally 2 years of 
attempts.  The response was less than impressive stating the NFL's 
commitment to accessibility. I even contacted the NFL app developer via 
the app store and got no response. I also called the NFL headquarters 
and was able to get as far as the voice mail of the digital product 
production manager. I left a detailed message and got no response.


In any case, has anyone tried it this year? I have the app on my iPhone 
that has been recently auto-updated, but I am not subscribed this 
year--fearing that I might have to try to get a refund as I did in 2021 
via a threatened suit with Pay Pal.


Any info would be greatly appreciated.
