Accessibility
Larger text, VoiceOver, reduced motion, color, contrast, and ways to get help.
MySched is designed to work with iOS accessibility settings. The current app supports larger text, a dark interface, meaning that does not depend on color alone, and reduced motion.
Larger text
MySched follows your iPhone or iPad text size, including Accessibility Sizes.
- Open Settings ▸ Accessibility ▸ Display & Text Size ▸ Larger Text.
- Turn on Larger Accessibility Sizes if you need them.
- Move the slider, then return to MySched.
Important actions stay reachable as text grows. Dense schedule rows may become taller or show less secondary detail so the class name, time, and action remain readable.
VoiceOver
Buttons, tabs, schedule rows, charts, import results, and loading or success states include spoken labels where the standard visual label is not enough.
- Turn on VoiceOver in Settings ▸ Accessibility ▸ VoiceOver.
- Swipe right or left to move through controls.
- Double-tap to activate the selected control.
- On a schedule review, listen to the full class description before saving.
If a control is announced unclearly, include the screen name and what VoiceOver said in a support message.
Reduced motion
MySched follows Reduce Motion. Larger transitions, celebration effects, and repeating decorative animation are removed or replaced with a gentler change. Status is still shown with text, symbols, or shape.
Open Settings ▸ Accessibility ▸ Motion, then turn on Reduce Motion.
Live Activities and system animations are also controlled by iOS. MySched cannot override every animation shown by the system.
Color and contrast
- Light and dark themes use semantic colors that adapt with the interface.
- Important states use labels or icons as well as color.
- Course colors are optional decoration; the course code and title carry the meaning.
- You can change the app theme and accent in More ▸ Settings.
Touch and keyboard use
Interactive controls use platform-sized touch targets where possible. On iPad, standard controls also work with a connected keyboard and pointer, although MySched does not yet publish a complete app-wide keyboard-shortcut list.
Accessibility support
Accessibility bugs are product bugs. Send the affected screen, your device, iOS version, and the accessibility setting you were using through Contact Support. Do not include private schedule details unless they are needed to explain the issue.
