Accessibility in RoundUp

What the app does today, the settings it respects, and the gaps we're still closing.

For everyone — directors, teachers, and families · Applies to RoundUp and Swift Start on iPhone, iPad, and Android

System settings we follow

RoundUp reads these from your phone's accessibility settings, so there's nothing to set up twice:

Larger text (Dynamic Type / Font size). Text grows with your system text size. At the very largest accessibility sizes we cap a few dense labels so they don't overflow the screen.
Dark mode. The app follows your phone's light or dark appearance automatically, and switches when you change it.
Reduce Motion. Slide-ups become fades, zoom transitions swap in place, and celebration effects are skipped. The app picks this up live if you change it while RoundUp is open.
Grayscale (iPhone and iPad). Turning grayscale on switches RoundUp to shape-coded status indicators, so you're not relying on color to tell states apart.

Settings inside RoundUp

Open Settings → App Appearance. These are saved to your account, so they follow you to a new phone.

Theme — Light, Dark, or System.
Font size — Small, Medium, or Large. This is layered on top of your system text size, not a replacement for it.
High contrast — stronger borders and higher-contrast secondary text.
Reduce motion — the same behavior as the system setting, if you want it for RoundUp only.
Dyslexia-friendly font — swaps the app's typeface for one designed for easier letter recognition.
Large tap targets — makes buttons, chips, list rows, and the tab bar 20% larger to tap.
Differentiate without color — adds shapes and labels to status colors (for example, attendance and health states).

Every control meets the platform's minimum touch size — 44 points on iPhone and iPad, 48 dp on Android — even before you turn on large tap targets.

VoiceOver & TalkBack

Form fields announce their name, whether they're required, and any error as you type. Confirmations and error messages — like a payment going through or a check-in being recorded — are read aloud when they appear, so you don't have to hunt for them. Expandable classroom sections announce whether they're open or closed.

Voice Control and Switch Control use the same labels, so they work wherever VoiceOver does.

What still needs work

We'd rather tell you than have you find out mid-task:

Some icon-only buttons aren't labeled yet, mostly in director and staff tools such as edit and delete icons inside admin lists. A screen reader may announce these as just "button." We're working through them screen by screen.
No captions or audio descriptions. RoundUp doesn't play video with speech, so there's nothing to caption today. If that changes, captions ship with it.

Need something now?

If a barrier stops you from finishing a task — signing a child in, paying tuition, reading a report — email us and we'll help you do it another way while we fix it.

Report a barrier

Email support@roundupece.com with "Accessibility" in the subject. It helps to tell us the screen you were on, what you were trying to do, and which assistive technology you use (for example, VoiceOver on iPhone). We read every message.
