Hi Barry,

You have mentioned:
"I was concerned that it
was an app written for IOS and probably uses java to emulate the gestures
used by a IOS device, but I'm concerned whether or not it will use the VO
gestures."

It is highly recommended to test with screen reader turned on to
verify that there are no custom gestures created, the gestures are not
interfering with the VO gestures and finally all the actions can be
performed without the specific gestures when screen reader is turned
off as per WCAG 2.1 SC 2.5.1:
2.5.1 Pointer Gestures:
All functionality that uses multipoint or path-based gestures for
operation can be operated with a single pointer without a path-based
gesture, unless a multipoint or path-based gesture is essential.
(Level A)

Note:
This requirement applies to web content that interprets pointer
actions (i.e. this does not apply to actions that are required to
operate the user agent or assistive technology).

Thanks & Regards,
Mohith B. P.
