The Accessibility Handbook is a guide into the iOS accessibility world! Learn how to use accessibility features and options with games, and learn how to implement them with documentations based in real-life experiences. Accessibility is a huge theme, specially in iOS, but it's always hard to find exactly what you need (unless you know what you are looking for). So we made this: An easy way to find this content, to search for it, to learn about it. Lightweight, fast, and always available. • The Handbook Game A series of puzzles that can only be solved by using accessibility tools (or a combination of them!) • The Voice-Over Guide A growing guide of how to improve your visual impairment accessibility using the Voice-Over, with examples and code. • The Colors Guide Here you'll learn more about colors, how to use them on your apps, and, of course, how to keep everything accessible to everyone. • Others Guide Accessibility is not only restricted to Voice-Over and Colors. Here we'll approach other things that can make your apps even better for everyone!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Accessibility Handbook at none against Encode's 2. Accessibility Handbook also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Encode's advantage is ratings volume (6.4K vs 2). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
