Enforcing Accessibility Standards in the Mobile App Economy
-
The mobile app economy is thriving—but millions of disabled users are being left behind. With nearly 90% of smartphone use happening within apps, accessibility isn’t a bonus feature—it’s a necessity. So, why do so many apps still fail to meet basic accessibility standards?
Through funding from ACT – The App Association, WID’s latest white paper explores this critical issue, uncovering:
Challenges – Accessibility challenges that users confront every day
Barriers – The legal and design barriers hindering progress
Data – Compelling data from a decade of research conducted by WID
Actions – Essential actions that businesses, developers, and app stores need to take NOW to drive change
Whether you are a forward-thinking policymaker, an innovative tech leader, or an everyday app user, this paper will challenge your perspective on digital inclusion and highlight those overlooked. Don’t miss out on this important conversation.
