Accessibility — Eggbeater Water Polo

We want every coach, parent, and player to be able to use Eggbeater — regardless of disability or assistive technology preference.

This page describes the accessibility features built into the iOS app, Android app, and web interface at eggbeater.app, and how to report issues.

WCAG Conformance

Eggbeater targets WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance across the iOS app, Android app, and web interface at eggbeater.app. We work to address gaps as they are identified. This statement covers features shipped as of April 2026.

Supported Accessibility Features

Dark Mode

Full dark interface with a three-way toggle: Light, Dark, or follow the system setting. Applied without page reload. All components — game cards, modals, navigation — are fully styled in dark mode.
Larger Text

All font sizes use relative units (rem/em) so they scale with your device's system font size setting. Increasing text size in iOS Settings → Display & Brightness → Text Size or Android Display → Font size is fully respected.
Reduced Motion

When "Reduce Motion" is enabled in your system settings, all animations and transitions are suppressed — including live score pulsing dots, toast slide-ins, modal animations, and the score update spinner. Interactive functionality is preserved.
VoiceOver & TalkBack (Screen Reader)

The app is navigable by screen reader. The bottom tab bar uses role="tablist" and aria-selected so VoiceOver announces the active tab. All five modals use role="dialog" with focus trapping — Tab/Shift-Tab cycles within the modal and focus returns to the triggering element on close. Live score changes are announced automatically via an aria-live="polite" region. Toast notifications are announced as status updates. All icon-only buttons have descriptive labels.
Voice Control

Every interactive element has a unique, descriptive accessible name matching its visible label. You can say "Tap Schedule", "Tap Scores", "Tap History", "Tap More navigation options", "Tap Close", and so on. The More drawer items (Bracket, Roster, Settings, Help) are all reachable by name.
Differentiate Without Color Alone

Information is never conveyed by color alone. The active navigation tab shows a 3 px top-border indicator in addition to the color change. The live game indicator uses role="img" with an accessible label ("Live game in progress") so it is announced by screen readers. Win/loss pills always include text ("WIN"/"LOSS").
Sufficient Contrast

Navigation button labels meet WCAG AA (≥ 4.5:1) contrast against the white background. When "Increase Contrast" is enabled in system settings (prefers-contrast: more), secondary text is boosted to approximately 11:1, result pill backgrounds become solid dark colors, and the navigation indicator thickens for clarity.
