I did write a review for the app this morning, stating that, though it is a great resource, accessibility has been broken for those of us who are blind or visually impaired. Don't know if the review will help the company see the need for, and value of, improved accessibility, but, in my opinion, several reviews with less than a four-star rating (I rated it three) couldn't hurt our cause.
