Yes, I had written them way back when they first released it and they
answered me a couple of days later saying that they were working on VO
support for their next release which does in fact seem to be pretty
VoiceOver accessible. Good stuff. I've been a Good Reads member for going on
three years now and it's nice to see that their app is blind accessible.

goodreads is a book readers social network.

The goodreads app used to be quite entirely inaccessible.

a couple of days ago a major update to the app surprised me by being almost
entirely accessible.
The only part that I've found to be inaccessible is the e-books section.
Once you try to open and read an e-book there is no VoiceOver support.

If you're a goodreads member or love reading and want to give it a try I
recommend the goodreads app:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodreads/id355833469?mt=8

I haven't had time to review it for AppleVis, It'll try to get to it on the
weekend, but if someone wants to take the challenge, they are welcome to do
the review.

The part of the app that I am having trouble with is reading the books that I 
read. It is a button, but it says slighter. When I try to manipulate the slider 
in terms of the rating from 1 to 5, it stays at whatever the rating was when I 
originally tapped the record button. Other than that, it is working really 
nicely over here.
