What we aim for

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA on this website and the web app, and to follow Apple's and Google's accessibility guidance in the iPhone and Android apps. We haven't had an independent audit yet, so this is a goal we're working towards, not a claim that we're there.

In the app

• Screen readers. Buttons, glyphs and controls carry spoken labels and roles for VoiceOver and TalkBack.
• Text size. Text follows your phone's text size, up to the point where a screen still holds together.
• Motion. When Reduce Motion is on, the app swaps movement for simple fades or none at all.
• Dark mode. The app follows your phone's light or dark setting, or you can choose one in Settings.
• Without an account. Prayer times, masjids and what's on can be read without signing in, so there's no form to get through first.

On this website

• Pages use real headings, lists and landmarks, so you can move around them with a screen reader or keyboard.
• Pictures that carry meaning have a text alternative. Pictures of the app are there to show it; what they show is also in the words around them.
• If your device asks for reduced motion, the animations on this site are switched off.
• No cookie banners or pop-ups get in the way, because the site sets no cookies.

Where we know we fall short

• The map is hard to use with a screen reader. Search and the list of masjids near you are the better way in.
• Some photos added by people don't have descriptions yet.
• Services shown through Connectors are made by others, and we can't always change how their content reads.
