Accessibility support in Kids Art

Designed around Apple accessibility

• Native navigation, buttons, labels, lists, sheets, alerts, printing, sharing, and text styles wherever possible.
• Dynamic Type layouts that reflow and scroll instead of hiding essential controls.
• Useful VoiceOver names and hints for primary actions, artwork, navigation, and Coloring Time exit.
• Named swatches, visible checkmarks, words, and symbols in addition to color for selection, safety, progress, and errors.
• Reduced custom animation when Reduce Motion is enabled.
• An on-device Read Artwork Aloud action for a saved memory's title, date, notes, and tags.

Different screens, one clear route

iPhone uses a stable tab bar, iPad adapts that navigation to its available width, and Mac uses a native sidebar. Visible titles, path breadcrumbs, and standard Back, Close, Cancel, and Exit controls orient both parents and children.

Input and creative tools

Kids Art supports touch and Apple Pencil coloring on iPhone and iPad, plus mouse and trackpad input on Mac. Keyboard focus, Full Keyboard Access, Switch Control, Voice Control, VoiceOver drawing-tool names, and the largest text sizes are treated as release tests rather than assumed capabilities.

Freehand coloring still requires direct drawing input. Kids Art does not claim that every common task is fully operable with VoiceOver or Voice Control alone until an equivalent coloring interaction is built and tested.

App Store accessibility labels

Automated iPhone checks cover Home, Create, Scan, Library, Settings, and Accessibility & Calm for text clipping and semantic traits. Dynamic Type auditing passes Home, Create, Scan, and Library. Settings and Accessibility & Calm use native Form and List surfaces that produce element-less or partly offscreen system audit warnings, so both are explicitly reached at the largest accessibility text size in dark and high-contrast mode and retain a hands-on production gate. A separate assertion verifies every visible app-content button is at least 44 by 44 points while native navigation and toolbar items retain Apple's system hit behavior. Home also passes the system contrast and hit-region audits.

The other scroll screens use primary semantic text on opaque adaptive surfaces and have visual simulator evidence. Their Sufficient Contrast declaration remains a draft until a production-candidate hands-on walkthrough completes every common task; partially hidden ScrollView text is not treated as a passing automated result.

Draft App Store declarations cover Larger Text on iPhone and iPad plus Dark Interface, Sufficient Contrast, Differentiate Without Color Alone, and Reduced Motion on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A declaration is published only after the matching production release candidate passes its complete common-task test on that device type.
