Hello:
I am a blind user of the Plex app and I have noticed a few accessibility related bugs which I hope can be fixed in the next update. I use voiceover, the built-in screen reader on IOS devices. When I use Plex to listen to audio files and touch the top or bottom of the screen when Voiceover is running, it jumps me to another track. Voiceover adds a layer with alternative gestures where touching the screen will speak what is under the finger rather than instantly activating what is under it. This ensures that what is being touched is what the user wants to activate. So when I touch the top or bottom of the screen and it changes tracks on me, it is unexpected and an undesired behavior when Voiceover is running. It makes the experience frustrating when I try to go into the section to control media playback because I end up moving to the next track instead. If this can be fixed in the next update, it would make using the app much easier. there are a few other minor issues that can be fixed but this particular issue is the main one that brings down the user experience for me.
Thanks and will be happy to answer any questions.
