Description

Did some quick accessibility testing on iOS using Voice Control and VoiceOver, and stumbled across a few issues:

  • The account stack on the home screen is not accessible
  • Recovery phrase verification is problematic
  • Various missing labels on buttons and QR codes, and some mixed up selection ordering (these are super easy to fix)

Overall, the app gets a ton of things right. Fixing these other issues would make it even better.

Version

3.8.4

Steps to reproduce

My test workflow is shown in this video (for a different app, but the workflow is the same). This was a pretty quick and casual test, I did not thoroughly go over every single screen, and also did not test very accessibility feature. I also did not include every single instance of missing labels I came across.

Expected behaviour

The app can be navigated without seeing what is on the screen.

Actual behaviour

See the screenshots below for notes.

Additional info

This is part of an accessibility testing effort I am part of in the Bitcoin Design community. We gathered info about accessibility in bitcoin applications here, and are testing our way through various wallets. Reach out if you'd like to chat more about this.

Than you very much for the thorough feedback @GBKS, we're going to make some UI changes shortly, so it's a good time to take these accessibility issues into account as well!

Following up, I did a very quick test with the latest TestFlight version and see a lot of missing labels. Hope you guys & gals can get around to addressing these. Adding a label really just takes 30 seconds to do, but can make all the difference for a low-vision users.
