[Nfbc-info] Amazon access barriers

[tina.thomas90044 at gmail.com]

Hello- I agree with Robert. I use amazon on a daily basis both on my I-Phone
and my lap top computer and haven't had any issues with access barriers. I
too would like to know about the access barriers that people are
encountering.

Hello all,
I am not sure what access barriers you are referring to.
I use the Amazon app on a daily basis with my iphone using voiceover with no
issues at all.
I am able to search for items purchase items track items and review ratings
and coments of products and much more.
Yes there are pictures of products for sighted members but i just swipe past
them.
I am interested to know what issues you are having with the app.
Thank you,

Robert Stigile
