Please add text labels to the buttons in Share dialog (or use another accessibility feature to describe them to the assistive apps). Their meaning is indicated just by an icon which is meaningless for the blind users.
The screen-reader presents all the buttons as "button" without any hint what could it do.

@HegrJan Ok, I've gone through the app and added content descriptions to the various buttons and ImagViews used throughout.

I'll try to roll out a beta update to the app soon. You can enroll in beta updates at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.android.gpstest. I'd love to get your feedback on the next beta release to see if it's a better experience and what else could be improved.

@HegrJan I'm rolling out v3.9.14 to beta testing on Google Play now if you could give it a shot! Should be available within 12 hours or so. F-Droid version is available here to download if you'd prefer that:

@barbeau Thanks you so much for your quick action. I've tried your beta and it works like a charm; all the buttons I've found are now labeled properly. Thank you for taking accessibility that serious.
