New update for the Reddit app (self.Blind)
submitted by AllHarlowsEve
I just updated the app yesterday and figured the issues I was dealing with were from me being dumb and doing something wrong, but no.
If I touch the text of a post or comment, Voiceover now acts like there's nothing there, and the app already confused the cursor plenty. So now, I'm having to swipe back and forth repeatedly to get the cursor to go to the text on a post rather than the "add comment" button.
10/10 update, good job Reddit.

I'm told that $1 and blind people love it, but I don't get it. It seems like another reddit app to me. It's far, far, better, than the official app, but I was hoping VoiceOver would have some custom actions or something with it. For now, I'll still browse reddit on my computer, on the old site.

Dystopia is a great app. Works beautifully with voiceover. Still in beta though, so you'll have to download the apple app testflight to make it work. Its great though and I'd highly recommend. Works far far better than that bacon reader garbage.

I've been helping the devs with BaconReader by providing specific VoiceOver accessibility feedback, and they've been very positive and responsive with their updates when they have chances to work on the app. The latest beta has a ton of VO improvements and Rotor actions for posts and comments and general usability upgrades so we don't have to do a ton of swiping to read through large threads. Be on the lookout for the update when it is released!

I’m using bacon reader and dystopia, dystopia is quicker to navigate but bacon reader allows me to search for subreddits.

Just deleted bacon reader, it’s to complicated to navigate.
