Mobile App Accessibility Toolbox

Guidelines, Checklists, Principles, and Testing.

Whether you’re simply trying to understand what exactly “accessible” means — or you’re wondering how to incorporate accessible practices into your design and development process — there’s a host of information, resources, and tools out there that can help.

It can all be a bit overwhelming, so we curated some of our favorite links into this accessibility toolbox, available as a shared google sheet which includes links to:

Apple and Android accessibility features and guidelines

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, plus an interactive version of a slightly older WCAG 2.0 that features filtering capabilities

Excellent examples of existing accessibility guidelines and checklists from companies such as Mozilla and BBC

Inclusive Design Principles

Mobile Testing Guide for Android & iOS

Various useful tools for ensuring proper color and text contrast, including Sketch plugins and websites such as the WebAIM Color Contrast Checker

Plus a lot more. We update this list regularly, and it’s open to everyone. Anything interesting you’d like to add? Let us know!
