Ratings and reviews

This set of Accessibility Settings is not in it's finalized form, because it's got Apt of bugs that need to be fixed! I'm not sure about the specific bugs, but I'm certain I've encountered several of them while using the Accessibility Settings to make it easier for me to use my Android phone! The biggest issue that I can think of at the moment is that there's an issue that keeps causing the 'Select To Speak' feature to stop working and I have to go into my settings to figure out what's wrong!

TalkBack is awful to navigate. I use it to assist with reading for my ADHD and it can be a bigger barrier just trying to use the app than it is trying to focus on reading long articles without help (which is nearly impossible, some days). It's not user friendly at all, and it can't read scanned documents, which is a major drawback. It's better than nothing, I guess, but I get so frustrated sometimes that I have a meltdown and give up.

Annoying. Messes with my volume keys. Now how do I remove accessibility from my volume settings? I have to force stop this app everytime after using it to fix the problem, super annoying
