Doggy Dose
Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: December 1, 2024
Our Commitment
Doggy Dose is designed to be accessible to everyone. We follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and support iOS accessibility features to ensure all users can track their pet's medications effectively.
Supported Accessibility Features
1. VoiceOver
Full Support: All interactive elements include descriptive labels and hints. For example, marking a dose is announced as "Mark Rimadyl 75mg for Rex as given" rather than just "Button." Navigate the entire app confidently with VoiceOver enabled.
2. Dynamic Type
Full Support: Text scales automatically to match your preferred reading size, from extra small to accessibility sizes. All screens remain fully functional at the largest text size.
3. Reduce Transparency
Full Support: When Reduce Transparency is enabled, glass effects are replaced with solid colors for better readability while maintaining the app's visual clarity.
4. Reduce Motion
Full Support: When Reduce Motion is enabled, liquid animations and transitions are simplified or removed. The app respects your system preference throughout.
5. Dark Mode
Full Support: Automatic support for Light and Dark appearance modes. All colors and the Liquid Glass design adapt seamlessly to your preference.
6. Increase Contrast
Full Support: All text and UI elements meet WCAG AA contrast standards. Colors automatically provide increased contrast when this setting is enabled.
7. Voice Control
Full Support: Navigate and control the entire app using only your voice. All interactive elements have descriptive labels and meet Apple's minimum 44x44 point touch target size.
Design Considerations
Touch Targets
All interactive elements meet the minimum 44x44 point touch target size for reliable selection via touch, pointer, or voice control.
Color Independence
Information is never conveyed by color alone. Dose status is indicated by icons, labels, and position in addition to color (e.g., green ring with checkmark and "Given by" text for completed doses).
Haptic Feedback
Haptic feedback accompanies key actions like marking a dose complete, providing confirmation for users who may not see visual changes immediately.
Features Not Applicable
Audio Descriptions
Not applicable: Doggy Dose does not contain video content requiring audio descriptions.
Captions
Not applicable: The app does not include audio or video content requiring captions.
Quality Assurance
Our accessibility implementation is backed by:
- Manual testing with VoiceOver and other assistive technologies
- Verification at all Dynamic Type sizes
- Testing with Reduce Transparency and Reduce Motion enabled
- Compliance with Apple's Human Interface Guidelines
- Ongoing commitment to accessibility improvements
