Prep for mobile user testing and demoing

[Alison Benjamin]

Hi,

The mobile app looks like a lot of fun to use :o)

I think we should take advantage of the iPhone's screen reader and do
UX testing with respect to this early on. I'm not deeply familiar with
the design priorities for McCord but I think this will affect how
generalizable the app is.

Thanks,
Alison
