Next up in our A11y App Review, we delve into a pervasive accessibility concern seen in numerous apps—the lack of labels. This case illustrates how companies may miss valuable sales opportunities by inadvertently excluding users who depend on screen readers.
The Challenge:

Recommended Best Practice:
Optimal user experience dictates that every button, heading, and label within a mobile app should be thoughtfully descriptive. This principle extends to labels associated with categories, subcategories, and products, ensuring a more intuitive and accessible shopping experience. Without descriptive labels, a person who is blind cannot shop without assistance.
