@christianselig@mastodon.social Same. My mom is almost completely blind and requires the biggest text size possible, and SO many apps break at those sizes. And they break in ways that’s not immediately clear that that’s the cause. Sometimes whole buttons are just not onscreen with no scroll view, so you’re left wondering whether you missed a step or if the text size is the problem this time. I almost wish it were possible to run iPhone apps on an iPad in mega-scaled-up mode to make the whole view bigger without breaking apps that don’t test at the accessibility extremes.

@christianselig@mastodon.social "iPho" heh, there's a joke that can be made here. Accessibility improvements here should be made into a high priority.

@christianselig@mastodon.social if you tap and hold on the text it doesn’t show up in a big box on screen? How could they miss that? There’s even a SwiftUI Modifier for that behavior 😂

@christianselig@mastodon.social Absolutely, my mother in law has the text scaling dialed way up and I'm surprised she can use her iPhone, the way the interface generally breaks.

@christianselig@mastodon.social There is plenty of room on the screen to make that more than 2 lines, but I think we've all made that mistake before.

@christianselig@mastodon.social it’s not hard, it’s a system created by those who are never expected to be exposed to its results.

@christianselig@mastodon.social The number of icons on my home screen that are like "Simple ..." or "Digital ..." or "Bozos ..." is ridiculous. Never tested, don't care, you're locked in anyway.

@christianselig@mastodon.social I don’t get it. As a small company in Germany working for the public administration, all our UIs need to be accessible and are accessibility-tested to the max. And a multi-trillion enterprise can’t even test onboarding processes?

@christianselig@mastodon.social I wish this was the only time I had a similar scenario. It’s not. https://mastodon.social/@MuseumShuffle/111091995179538182

@christianselig@mastodon.social I just don’t think they bother testing this stuff. They’ll add the features, brag about them but never actually test them 🙃

@christianselig@mastodon.social @keir@mastodon.design Wow. I had an app rejected from the App Store for this issue. One rule for them, etc.
