Yesterday I discovered that the new Sonos app requires you to physically scroll through every part of the terms screen before you can press the accept button. On iOS, VoiceOver's scrolling method skips through most of it, so you just have to go to the top and manually pass through a bunch of one-finger scrolls. The whole thing is one block of text, so you can't tell how far it's scrolled until you get to the bottom. I have no Sonos products and was just trying to troubleshoot this with a friend, but I am suitably horrified. This is the first thing the app presents after downloading it for the first time, and most VO users wouldn't be able to do it, leaving the rest of the app (and possibly your devices) unusable. I'm not sure what could convince me to buy a Sonos product at this point. I used to just find them too expensive to justify—now I don't think I'd buy them if they were all 75% off. #Accessibility
