Accessibility and User Comments:

The app is generally accessible. Throughout my extensive experience with the app, I haven't encountered any major accessibility issues. Buttons are properly labeled, and configuring alarms, switching between alarms, and changing settings are all accessible.

Few things to keep in mind:

  1. Not all time pickers are accessible. I personally use the modern radial picker, which includes a switch to a text input button allowing you to write the time. You can access the time picker selection from Settings > Appearance.

  2. I didn't test all of the alarm dismissing methods, but it is safe to assume that the mini game challenges are not accessible. The long press on screen method means double tapping and holding the finger, and the touch screen method implies double tapping the screen when using a screen reader. I mainly use either the small or big buttons to cancel the alarm.

  3. In few areas of the app, there is inadequate labeling for certain input fields, which can cause confusion for users relying on screen readers.
