Accessibility
Arkn LLC ("we," "our," "us") wants Motion AI to be usable by as many people as possible, including people who use assistive technology. This statement explains what we have built, what we know does not work well yet, and how to tell us when we get it wrong. We publish our known limitations rather than only our successes. If something here is inaccurate, we want to hear about it.
01Conformance status
Motion AI does not currently claim full conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
We have not completed a formal accessibility audit, and no Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR/VPAT®) has been produced for Motion AI. Based on our own internal review, we are aware of specific gaps against Level AA, and those are listed in Section 04 below.
We describe our status this way deliberately. Claiming conformance we have not verified would be worse than useless to someone deciding whether this app will work for them.
02Accessibility features
The following are implemented in the current version of Motion AI:
Text sizing
- The app responds to the iOS system text size setting (Dynamic Type), including the Accessibility text sizes.
- An additional in-app text size control is available under Profile → Settings → Appearance. It defaults to "Match System" so that your iOS setting is honoured unless you deliberately override it.
Reduced motion
- Motion AI honours the iOS Reduce Motion setting. When it is on, looping and decorative animation is disabled.
- A pause control in the Dashboard header stops looping animation without requiring you to leave the app and change a system setting.
Screen reader and voice control
- Interactive controls carry text labels for VoiceOver and Voice Control.
- Activity entries are grouped so they are announced as a single item rather than as separate fragments.
- The calorie total is announced with its value and progress, not conveyed by the visual fill level alone.
- Results from voice logging are announced when they arrive, since they appear asynchronously without moving focus.
Input alternatives
- Voice logging is never required. Every activity can be entered by typing instead.
Presentation
- Light and dark themes are both available.
03Evaluation methods
This statement is based on internal review of the application source code, programmatic calculation of colour contrast ratios against WCAG 2.1 thresholds, and automated checks using Xcode's Accessibility Inspector.
Testing with assistive technology has not yet been completed. We have not yet run a full VoiceOver, Voice Control, or Switch Control session against the app. This means the features described in Section 02 are implemented but not independently verified in use, and there may be problems we have not found. We will update this statement once that testing is done. No third-party or independent accessibility audit has been carried out.
04Known limitations
We are aware of the following. These are real limitations, not theoretical ones.
Colour contrast
- Some de-emphasised and low-opacity text may fall below the 4.5:1 ratio required for normal text (WCAG 1.4.3).
- Accent colours (purple, pink, and teal) do not meet the contrast minimum for normal-size text.
Screen orientation
- Motion AI runs in portrait orientation only on iPhone (WCAG 1.3.4). If your device is mounted in a fixed landscape position, the app will not rotate to match.
Text scaling
- Icons and symbols do not scale with the text size setting. Text scales; the icons beside it stay at a fixed size.
- Labels in the bottom navigation bar stop growing beyond a certain size so that the bar does not consume the screen. Press and hold a tab to see its label at full size in a system overlay.
Verification
- As stated in Section 03, no assistive technology testing has been completed. Screen reader support should be considered unverified.
05Feedback
If you encounter an accessibility barrier in Motion AI, please tell us. Include the screen or feature, what you were trying to do, your device and iOS version, and any assistive technology you were using.
Email: admin@arknapps.com
We aim to respond within 5 business days. If we cannot fix something quickly, we will tell you that honestly and, where possible, describe a workaround.
Accessibility feedback is prioritised. If you cannot complete a core task in Motion AI (logging an activity, viewing your progress, or managing your account), we treat that as a defect, not a feature request.
06Ongoing work
Accessibility is not a one-time project. This statement will be updated as we complete assistive technology testing, address the limitations in Section 04, and change the app.
