I identified several areas in the app where accessibility can be improved. I put more details in this google doc, which you should have access to with this link.

We have a VoiceOver user who reported an issue to us. When you access the Filters page and try to swipe down with 3 fingers to refresh the feed, the podcasts do not update.

When you try other apps like Mail, it refreshes your emails when you swipe down with 3 fingers. Weirdly enough, swiping with 1 or 3 fingers works fine in Pocket Casts when VoiceOver is disabled.

Here is a screen recording (me struggling to use VoiceOver) showing the problem:

In this case, the customer has the Font Size in iOS set to the largest. This is messing up the formatting of the Homescreen Widgets for Pocket Casts:

Hello! For accessibility stuff, we had a question from a user about adding font size adjustability in iOS: https://twitter.com/anishvarsha1/status/1615201889465012224

When can we expect the accesibility settings for the iOS to get the system level font size or at the least a custom setting for the application. Would be a great add for getting the suite of features you app offers.

My issue is that I have trouble navigating the discover section after doing a search. To be more precise: I can't reliably click the search result I want when I am searching for new podcasts. When VoiceOver reads the desired podcast, and I do a double tap with one finger in order to open it, nothing happens.
