Hi Matthew – I’m sorry – I don’t know the answer on this one. I did a bit of searching and did not find anything useful to share. My best suggestion right now would be to post the question in the Apple Discussion Forums and email the NYT as you’re already planning to.

I am leaving a comment here in the hopes that you or someone else who comes to this forum can provide me some insight. I am totally blind and use VoiceOver all the time on my Mac and iOS devices. Recently I started using the NY Times app for iPad. True, it does work very well with VoiceOver. However, the problem I’m having is getting back from an article to the main screen of the app where I can pick another article, choose a different section, access settings, etc. On the iPhone version of the app this is not a problem, because there is a button in the upper lefthand corner of the screen which lets you go back. This button does not appear to be present on the iPad version. So, what is the supported way to go back once you’ve finished reading an article? And, is that same method supported by VO in the current version of the app? I called the NY Times, but they were not too familiar with my situation. I may try to email them if I don’t get an answer. Thanks so much.
