Review of BubbleShare

BubbleShare Reviewed 10 Aug 2009 · Average score 59%

Summary

Text input fields were not well labelled and login was difficult with a screen reader as it was an overlay to the main page rather than a new window. Alt tags were not available for uploaded pictures and many already on view were unhelpful. Contrast levels for some text was not good although text size was good.
