PicturePin is built to be usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technology.
Accessibility is treated as a core requirement, not an afterthought, and every screen is designed to work with the accessibility features built into iOS.
| Feature | Support in PicturePin |
|---|---|
| VoiceOver | Every interactive control — buttons, toggles, tabs, list items, and status indicators — has a descriptive label and the correct accessibility role, so the screen reader announces what each element is and what it does. The non-dismissible "tagging in progress" dialog is announced as an alert and traps focus so it is not skipped. |
| Dynamic Type | Text scales with the system text-size setting. PicturePin does not disable font scaling, so larger accessibility text sizes are respected. |
| Dark Mode | PicturePin fully supports light and dark appearance and follows the system setting. |
| High contrast | The Bauhaus + Leica palette uses strong ink-on-paper contrast that remains legible with the iOS Increase Contrast setting enabled. |
| Reduced motion | Animations are minimal and decorative; core functions never depend on motion a user cannot perceive. |
| Touch targets | Primary actions use large, clearly separated controls that are easy to hit without precise aiming. |
| No audio-only cues | Status (recording, idle, errors) is always conveyed visually and via text labels, never by sound alone. |
PicturePin is meant to be used while photographing outdoors, often one-handed or while wearing gloves. The primary record and stop actions are large, high-contrast targets, and critical status (recording vs. idle, point count, remaining time) is shown in plain text that VoiceOver reads aloud.
We aim for full accessibility, but there may be areas we can still improve. If you use an assistive technology and hit a barrier in PicturePin, we want to hear about it and fix it.
If any part of PicturePin is difficult to use with an assistive technology, please contact the developer at ccdpin@gmail.com, or through the App Store listing's support contact. Please describe the screen, the assistive technology you were using, and what happened — we treat accessibility issues as high priority.
As PicturePin evolves, this statement will be updated to reflect new accessibility improvements or to document any newly discovered limitations.
