## What is Accessibility Checker?

Scan any website for accessibility issues in seconds — and check color contrast anywhere, even live through your camera.

Accessibility Checker runs the industry-standard axe-core engine against any URL, explains issues in plain language, and turns your audit into an automated WCAG report plus a publishable accessibility statement — with an honest breakdown of what automated testing covers and what still needs human review.

Preparing for the European Accessibility Act (EAA)? Automated checks give you a fast baseline for EAA readiness. Full conformance always requires manual testing, and the app tells you exactly which WCAG criteria it can and cannot check automatically.

Everything runs privately on your device: the sites, images and colors you check never leave your phone.

THREE TOOLS IN ONE

1. Audit — run an automated accessibility test (axe-core) against any website and get a prioritized, plain-language list of issues with severity, affected elements and guidance for fixing each one. Export results as a text summary, CSV or an automated report PDF.

2. Focus Order — visualize the keyboard focus (tab) order of any web page, so you can see the sequence keyboard and screen-reader users follow, spot illogical jumps (WCAG 2.4.3), and export the full-page map as an image or PDF.

3. Color Contrast — measure the contrast between any two colors on a web page, in a screenshot, or live through your camera, against the WCAG 2.2 thresholds. View suggested passing colors, copy colors as HTML Hex or UIColor, and share annotated results. An experimental APCA (WCAG 3.0 draft) mode can be enabled in Settings.

WCAG 2.2 CONTRAST THRESHOLDS

For normal text, AA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 (AAA: 7:1). For large text, AA requires 3:1 (AAA: 4.5:1). The app measures these for you and explains each result. Learn more at https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG22/

FREE TO TRY, SUBSCRIPTION FOR UNLIMITED USE

Every tool works free, without limits, on the built-in demo page — try the full workflow before paying anything. Auditing your own pages requires a plan:

• Checker (monthly or yearly) — unlimited audits, contrast checks and focus scans on any page, unbranded shares, and watermarked report previews.
• Checker Pro (monthly or yearly) — everything in Checker, plus full unwatermarked WCAG report PDFs and publishable accessibility statements.
• Checker Pro Lifetime — a one-time purchase with everything in Checker Pro, forever.

Every subscription starts with a 7-day free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and can be managed or cancelled anytime in your App Store account settings.

### 3/5 — Free up and does the job quite well?

*2025-06-30*

Did a few scans and it gives me a lot of false alarms, otherwise it’s pretty awesome and pretty accessible with the voice over screen reader.

### 3/5 — Important details not well thought

*2024-02-03*

When I load an app screenshot, the lower portion of the screenshot is blocked by the app’s bottom toolbar. This blocks from measuring all my screenshot’s accessibility.

Also, the feedback email is broken, which doesn’t reflect an app that’s being paid attention and curated enough to request monthly payments for what could be simply bought once.

Pity because otherwise seems like a clever and simple app.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we will address this feedback in an upcoming update.

### 3/5 — Missing non-text contrast checker

*2022-01-26*

Does not check for non-text color contrast issues

### 1/5 — Scam you into paying monthly fee

*2021-10-28*

No idea I had to pay monthly and I’ve requested multiple times to cancel but nobody cancels or responds to my feedback.

**Developer response:** Hello, subscriptions can be managed via Settings, Apple Account, Subscriptions.

### 1/5 — Scam, the product is unusable without opting into a paid subscription

*2021-08-13*

Just make it a paid app, your free tier is useless.

### 1/5 — Not free! 99¢/month

*2021-04-22*

It comes with 7 day trial but couldn't try it because you have to subscribe.

### 1/5 — Needs better transparency on cost of app

*2021-02-24*

The details don’t appear to clearly explain there is a monthly $.99 fee to use the app.   You are basically forced to a screen to sign up for 7-Day free trial.    Fine if that is the model - but make it clear in the app details up front so users know that before downloading.  Feels like a bait and switch operation otherwise.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback - the upgrade screen has now been redesigned to make this clearer.

### 1/5 — Not suitable for choosing room colours

*2020-08-18*

I was looking or help to find colours in same pallet.  This is designed for text on background.

### 2/5 — Photo Gallery option unusable on iPhone SE

*2019-07-31*

The app looks promising, but the UI doesn't function well on the (small) iPhone SE. 

Specifically, I can't access the Photo Gallery button. This is because I can't remove the focus from the Website address field, so the iOS keyboard remains onscreen, obscuring everything below the Camera button. 

I tried sending feedback via the link in-app, but the email bounced back. 

Please fix these issues - I'm happy to improve my rating once I can verify that it works on my device.

### 1/5 — Tricked into buying as free

*2019-03-06*

Was checking out the app... Doesn't seem native for iOS... Get to one feature there's mostly a blank screen with an X button that only leads to 'buy ad free' version. Hit my home button to get out of it, but it of course completed a purchase.
