Accessibility statement

Last updated: 13 September 2026 · Applies to the Linometry app for Android (iOS when it ships) and this website.

Linometry is made by LA BRANDS LTD. We want everyone to be able to browse, colour and share with it, and we are working towards the requirements of the European Accessibility Act and WCAG 2.1 level AA where they apply to a mobile app. This page says plainly what works today, what does not yet, and how to tell us when something gets in your way.

What works today

• Screen readers (TalkBack). The controls you use most have a spoken name and state — the tool discs (brush, fill, eraser, eyedropper), undo and redo, the colour swatches ("Colour #hex", selected), every Settings switch, every onboarding choice, and the library, book and gallery tiles (page title, plus "Premium" or "Free today" where shown).
• Sliders. The size, opacity and tone sliders are drawn on the canvas and cannot be dragged by a screen reader, so the value chip next to each one is an adjustable control: swipe up or down to step it, double-tap to open the large version.
• Focus order. The drawing surface itself is skipped by linear navigation so the reader lands on the controls; touch exploration still paints.
• Not colour alone. Selected swatches carry a ring, locked items a padlock, favourites a star, and every slider has a text readout.
• Contrast. Body text and secondary text meet 4.5:1 on their backgrounds in both the light and dark themes; badges use dark text on light colours.
• Reduced motion. With the system "Remove animations / Reduce motion" setting on, the onboarding progress animation is replaced by a still bar.
• Text size. The app follows the system font size setting rather than fixing its own.

Known limitations

• The colour wheel is a visual control; pick colours from the palette rows or the recent swatches instead, which are fully labelled.
• Colouring is a pointer activity: the app has no keyboard or switch-access path for painting itself. Everything around it (browsing, settings, purchases, sharing) is reachable.
• White text on our purple accent buttons measures 4.2:1 — above the 3:1 required for large text and controls, just under 4.5:1 for small text. We are reviewing the shade.
• Font-scaling at 200 % has not yet been audited on every screen.

Tell us

If something in the app is hard or impossible for you to use, email support@linometry.com or use Settings → Get help inside the app. Say what you were trying to do, which device and assistive technology you use, and what happened. We reply within two working days and we log every report against our accessibility checklist.

Enforcement

If you are in the EU and are not happy with how we respond, you can contact the market surveillance authority for accessibility in your member state. In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 applies.
