I debated long and hard between an iPhone and a phone running Android 4.1 (Ice Cream Sandwich). I chose the iPhone because it did have better accessibility, but I wouldn't have characterized Android 4.1's accessibility as greatly lacking, and Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) is even better with respect to accessibility. I agree Android has room for improvement as far as accessibility goes, but so does everyone, since no one is perfect.

Hi, I am talking about Google search app for ios. An update to it brought
Google now feature. Many buttons were not labeled. Properly. Except the
whether card, I couldn't navigate to other cards such as traffic etc. Yes
they have made considerable progress but in few apps like latitude, maps
etc. They are breaking accessibility update by update. A company like Google
should be more caring about accessibility than it is now.

I don't understand these posts. Which Google OS are you talking about?
Both Android and ChromeOS come with built in screen readers. Although they
may not be as good as VoiceOver, they're still quite good and Google has
made a lot of progress with the accessibility of both OS's over the last
few years.

I'm also not aware of a Google IOS app that is not accessible.

Obviously, they should be pressed for accessibility, but they should also
be recognized for what they have accomplished, and we also need examples
of where they are falling down with respect to accessibility.

Good luck with that one since their operating system isn't even very
accessible compared with IOS.
