Does your app meet accessibility standards? Find out with these tools.

Accessibility in apps isn’t optional—it’s essential. Over 15% of the global population has some form of disability (WHO), meaning that if your app isn’t accessible, you’re excluding millions of potential users. Apple and Google Play also require accessibility compliance, so ignoring it can impact your app’s approval.
 

To improve accessibility, here are three essential tools:

• 1. ShadCN: Accessible & Customizable UI Components ShadCN is a UI library designed for accessibility, offering well-structured components with high readability. It integrates seamlessly with Tailwind CSS, ensuring easy customization while maintaining usability.
      
• 2. Axe DevTools: Detect & Fix Accessibility Issues Axe DevTools helps developers analyze and correct accessibility flaws, such as low contrast, missing ARIA labels, and poor navigation structure. It ensures your app complies with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
      
• 3. Google Lighthouse: Full Accessibility Audit Google Lighthouse is an open-source tool that evaluates accessibility, performance, and best practices. It provides detailed reports with actionable insights, helping developers optimize their apps for approval in app stores.
