Accessibility

Last updated:

Sudder should work for everyone at the table, including people who see, hear or move less easily. Here’s what the app and the website already do, what can be better and how to let us know.

In short

Sudder is built with the standard components of iOS and iPadOS. That means the accessibility features of your iPhone and iPad, which you set in Settings › Accessibility, also work in Sudder. Wherever we draw something of our own, we add labels and alternatives ourselves.

In the app

  • VoiceOver: buttons, icons and cards have a label that says what they do. VoiceOver skips purely decorative images.
  • Larger text: Sudder uses the system text styles, so text grows with the size you choose, including the larger accessibility sizes.
  • Reduce Motion: when it’s on, calm transitions replace the animations, for example in onboarding and cooking mode.
  • Dark Mode and colours: the app follows your device’s light or dark appearance.
  • Voice Control, Switch Control and keyboard: because we use system buttons and lists, you can control Sudder this way too, and with a keyboard on iPad.
  • Siri and Shortcuts: ask what’s for dinner tonight or plan the week without tapping.
  • Cooking mode: big steps, one at a time, the screen stays on and timers keep running on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.
  • Type or speak: you can describe your week in one sentence, with dictation too.

On this website

  • Clear headings, a “Skip to content” link and the right language on every page, so screen readers can follow the structure.
  • Everything works with a keyboard, with a visible focus.
  • With Reduce Motion, the illustrations stand still straight away. What they show is also in the text.
  • You can zoom to 200% and beyond without losing anything. Light and dark follow your device.
  • No cookie banners, pop-ups or time limits.

What doesn’t work well yet

  • Recipes you import from websites, Instagram or TikTok are taken over as they are. Photos from them usually have no description.
  • Apple Intelligence sometimes reads a recipe wrong. Check ingredients and amounts, especially if you use a screen reader.
  • Not every screen has been tested at the very largest text sizes yet. Text there may still get cut off or cramped.
  • The app and the website haven’t been externally audited yet.

Standards and status

For the website, we follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA. For the app, we follow Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines and the accessibility requirements of the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) and the EN 301 549 standard.

Because no full audit has been done yet, Sudder and this website partially conform: the limitations above are known. We check accessibility with every new version and update this statement when something changes.

Report a problem

Stuck somewhere, or missing something? Email hallo@sudder.app and tell us which device and which assistive feature you use. We’ll look for a solution with you, even if that means getting you the recipe or information another way.
