*2025-06-08*

Hi, this is a review regarding the roads audio talk app. I love this application and thank you for making it. I’d like to address some issues concerning accessibility that I am experiencing with your app. It would be great, if the buttons could be labeled properly From start to finish when updating this app, please. VoiceOver, the iOS screen reader on my iPhone, has trouble reading the label elements of what is visually on the screen. Especially with this app. From recording, to notification, and to settings as well. Could this potentially be fixed? That would be greatly appreciated seriously.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback and for taking the time to detail the accessibility issues. I'm happy to let you know that a new version has just been released with full VoiceOver support that addresses the button labeling issues you mentioned. The app should now be much more accessible for screen reader users.

I moved to another country and it’s been so hard being far away from my family. I text and call sometimes, but it’s still hard to keep in touch daily.
