Accessibility Review: Daily Dictionary – Screen changes

The Accessibility Review series uses real world apps to provide examples of common accessibility issues and provide tips on how to fix them. Each of the developers has kindly volunteered their app to be tested.

Daily Dictionary is an app from Benjamin Mayo providing a new word every day with definitions and real-world uses designed to help increase your vocabulary.

Assessing the app, I noticed Benjamin has made a design decision around presenting the app’s settings. Settings are slid down from the top of the screen, similar to a card UI that you might find in the Apple Maps app. Except with Daily Dictionary, the card is presented from the top of the screen. The card slides down or up in response to the user activating the settings button on the navigation bar.
