Accessibility
Ghar is built for calm, practical Hindu home practice. Accessibility is part of that promise: people should be able to open the app, find today’s practice, follow a puja or reader flow, use the panchang, manage reminders, and review settings without depending on one fixed way of seeing or operating the interface.
Current Support
The current iPhone and iPad app uses native iOS and iPadOS accessibility APIs across the main experience. Code-level support includes:
- VoiceOver labels and values: Major controls, practice player actions, panchang dates, language options, settings, and purchase choices include spoken labels, values, or hints.
- Larger Text layouts: Key onboarding, Today, Practice, and player screens adjust layout for larger accessibility text sizes.
- Reduced Motion: Opening, navigation, surface, calendar, and practice-player animations respond to the system Reduce Motion setting.
- Native controls: Ghar uses standard iOS interaction patterns wherever possible so VoiceOver, Switch Control, Voice Control, keyboard focus, and other system tools can work with the app.
- Dark interface compatibility: Ghar uses a controlled visual system designed to remain legible in the app’s current appearance.
App Store Accessibility Labels
Ghar’s App Store accessibility information is prepared for App Store Connect entry, but support should only be published after a device pass confirms each selected label against Apple’s criteria for common tasks.
The labels most likely to be supportable after verification are VoiceOver, Voice Control, Larger Text, Sufficient Contrast, Dark Interface, Differentiate Without Color Alone, and Reduced Motion. Captions and audio descriptions are not currently primary App Store label claims because Ghar’s core common tasks do not depend on video or audio-only media.
Known Limits
- Ghar has not yet published App Store Accessibility Nutrition Labels.
- Some older or less common secondary screens may need another VoiceOver and Larger Text pass before claiming full support for every common task.
- Festival content and screenshots change over time, so each major seasonal update should include a quick accessibility regression pass.
