AccessLevelUp's mobile accessibility audits combine automated and manual testing to ensure your applications are inclusive, user-friendly, and compliant with WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 Level AA, ADA, Section 508, ACA, AODA, and EAA standards — creating equitable experiences across iOS and Android devices.
Overview
Mobile app auditing: harnessing technology for inclusive design
In today's digital landscape, mobile apps are integral to businesses of all sizes. At AccessLevelUp, we understand the importance of ensuring that your mobile applications are accessible to all users. Our comprehensive testing services for native mobile apps are designed to ensure your app meets WCAG 2.1/2.2 level AA as identified in WCAG2ICT, or Section 508 Trusted Tester native application methodologies, depending on project requirements.
Our audit begins with advanced tools that help us identify the "low hanging fruit" — the most easily identifiable and rectifiable issues. For iOS we use Xcode Accessibility Inspector and GSCX; for Android we use Google Accessibility Scanner, Accessibility Insights for Android, and Axe for Android.
Following the initial assessment, we conduct a thorough manual audit — a detailed, hands-on approach where we evaluate every element on your app's screens with built-in assistive technology.
