Christina, thanks for your review of the app.. I saw a very good review of it recently, and did not consider accessibility when I made the purchase. I did actually see it in Apple Viz reviews, where it was rated mostly OK, but I believe that was a few years old.
There is a delete button, but you cannot activate it. Perhaps by disabling VO... I really have not used it enough to note other quirks or even the advantages. It is probably more than I want and was just one of those whim purchases. I have had more success using the Mini Keepass password keeper as a journal. I just created a database called journal and then make separate entries for each day. I don't know if there is a limit to the notes field which is where I put the text; I have not been able to stick with journaling enough to find out. The app is secure and does synchronize via Dropbox, which are really the only two requirements I look for. With any of these programs/apps, I have been afraid what happens in a few years when they are either discontinued or rendered inaccessible by updates in operating systems or screen access. That is why I still copy things to a Windows program I have been using since about 2002 called AZZ Cardfile. Not like that is such a chore, as I said, I can't discipline myself to write often enough to have much to copy. Thanks for any further discoveries.

I love the concept and it is indeed partially accessible. However, there are some things that are pretty difficult to do. Also, deleting a entry is impossible with VO. Unless someone has figured it out. I actually corresponded with their tech support about this issue. They have been making accessibility improvements to the Mac version and they told me they may work on accessibility for the iOS version. I did not notice any description of accessibility enhancements on the latest update for Day One. However, maybe I missed something. :) I'm sure the developers would appreciate any feedback. The last time I tried to use Day One, I could easily type in an entry but there were other aspects that were difficult to use but mainly the timeline page has many elements on it that cannot be accessed via VO. At least, I could not figure out how nor could the tech person i spoke with . :) I am still hoping to find a good app for iOS that I can Sync with my Mac. The problem is that I don't want to spend a lot of money only to find that one or both app versions are not accessible. I have been very curious about MacJournal as they will sync but I do not know if either the mac or the iOS version are accessible.
