Hi Cara, Yes, I actually did write to them after I posted my message since I thought about it and came to the same conclusion. iOS 7 is still in Beta and making the Delete key on the phone pad a touch typing key is probably not such a big deal that they couldn't change it between now and the final release should it not have been changed already. I guess if they have a reason why it is the way it is then maybe they enlighten me about it.

Something as small and out-of-the-way as the delete button on the phone keypad is likely not something first and foremost on people's minds to fix. Just my thoughts. I don't think anyone would object to a quick lil' reminder. :) -And yes, here as well, I agree with you! lol! Talk soon and have a great day!

Well, I just downloaded it and while the developer says it is fully accessible with Voiceover, I could not get the swipe right to calculate and swipe left to clear feature to work when Voiceover was running. When I put in a simple calculation, turned Voiceover off and then did a swipe right, it did work and when I turned Voiceover back on the result was displayed. I also noticed that Voiceover did not automatically speak the result after you press the = sign and you have to split tap or double tap each number to type it, touch typing seems to be not supported.. In short, I deleted it again because I really can't see any advantage in using it instead of the stock calculator which is also fully Voiceover accessible. In fact, I would say it is more so because I can touch type the numbers (things like +, divided by, multiplied by etc. still have to be double tapped) and with the calculator that is on the iPhone Voiceover also reads out the result as soon as I press =. Lastly, the stock calculator give me even more flexibility since I can turn the phone sideways to get a bunch more functions and while the percent sign is not on the basic portrait screen, it is there in landscape mode. One good thing is that by testing this I noticed again how one still has to split or doublke tap the symbols and I think I will send a message to Apple accessibility and suggest that they also work with touch typing. I don't see much of a reason why they shouldn't, after all, on the normal keyboard one used to have to double tap the delete, Shift and More Numbers buttons to activate them until Apple decided in iOS 5 that they should work as touch typing buttons which makes a lot more sense. Of course they also forgot to include the Delete button on the phone keypad to work as a touch typing key, but I probably wait and see if this is fixed in iOS 7 before I write.
