### 2/5 — Erişebilirlik sorunu

*2023-05-02, version 2.5*

Merhabalar bu yorumu bir yıl önce yapmıştım. Maalesef biz görme engelliler için herhangi bir gelişme olmadı onun için bir yıldız kırdım. Lütfen uygulamayı VoiceOver ile uyumlu bir hale getirin. Ve biz görme engelliler de uygulamanızı kullana bilelim. Güzel uygulamanız. Ama VoiceOver desteklemiyor.

### 4/5 — Ahora si funciona
