Accessibility

Last updated October 29, 2026.

We want everyone to be able to plan, shop and cook with Honest Dinner, including people who use a screen reader, larger text, a keyboard or switch control, or who see colors differently. We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA, and we check our work.

What works today

Labels. Buttons, fields and choices have names a screen reader can read, and pages have headings in order, so you can jump between them.
Contrast. Text is dark on a light page, or light on a dark one, well above the 4.5 to 1 contrast the guidelines ask for. Nothing depends on color alone: a chosen item also gets a check mark or a word.
Larger text. The app follows your phone's text size, and pages reflow to fit instead of scrolling sideways.
Keyboard. The website and the app's main screens work with a keyboard alone, with a visible outline on whatever has focus.
Screen readers. Sign-up, your week, the shopping list and cook mode are built to be read by VoiceOver on iPhone and by screen readers on the web. Pictures of dishes are decoration; every dish is named in words.
Big targets. Buttons are at least 44 points, and cook mode's are larger, for messy hands.
Calm motion. If your phone asks for less motion, nothing moves. Our little animations play once and stop within five seconds.
Light and dark. The app follows your phone, or you can choose in Settings.
Timers show the time left on screen, and ring with a sound and a vibration.

What we know isn't right yet

Reading a flyer needs a photo or a PDF. If that's hard for you, choose a store whose deals come in on their own, or write to us and we'll help.
A few screens in the app are missing the page landmarks some screen reader users jump between, and two skip a heading level. Everything is still labeled and readable; we're tidying these.

Tell us what gets in your way

Write to patrick@honestdinner.com, or tap Report a problem in the app. A real person reads every note, usually within a day. Tell us the screen, what you were trying to do, and what you use (for example VoiceOver or large text) if you like.

Our promise: we fix what you report. If a fix takes time, we'll tell you when to expect it, and help you another way in the meantime.
