Yes, I have briefly tested the Slido web site on Windows and the iPhone with
a screen reaer. I did not test for any other disabilities. The test was an
informal evaluation to get an idea of possible challenges. I even reached
out to the company in relation to the accessibility and the response was not
that positive. In saying, I was surprised the level of accessibility already
there. I am not saying it is fully accessible either.

iPhone Safari:
No real challenges with Voice-Obver I saw other than:
* No live regions to notify you of incoming messages, state changes of the
vote button and similar notifications.
* entering in text worked fine.
* the messages could be read.
* the interface was not to complex for a user who is reasonable with using a
iPhone internet browsing.
Generally I didn't not see any major barriers with the quick look at I did.
I only was looking at from an attendee point of view and the questions
section. We did not look at the poling part.

Windows: Same focus and time frame.
Used Jaws and NVDA with IE, Firefox and Chrome.
* The edit field did not work at all.
* the web interface was more busy than the mobile version.
* I couldn't receive incoming new messages or see the question I posted.
* Could not see if a question had any votes against it or the question I
voted.
Basically, this had more accessibility issues on this platform which I am
surprised about how well it work on the mobile platform.

The total sum.
