TransitWatch for Android · Version 3.0
TransitWatch is built with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 in mind. These are the accessibility features it supports, and what each one means in the app.
Every screen works with TalkBack. Each departure is read as one sentence, for example “Millbrae. In 2 minutes, 10 cars; in 22 minutes, 10 cars,” and it says when a time is from the timetable rather than live (“scheduled”) and when a train leaves too soon for you to reach it. The station name is a heading, so you can jump straight to it. Last Ride Home is read as one heading with the time to leave, the walk and the train.
TransitWatch follows your font size and display size, up to the largest sizes. Text never shrinks to fit: station and destination names wrap onto more lines, and departure times move below the destination. The tab labels at the bottom of the screen stop growing at a size that still fits; TalkBack reads them in full.
TransitWatch follows your phone's dark theme on every screen.
All text meets a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 in light and dark theme, including gray text such as trains you can't reach and timetable-only times. Line colors stay the same and are not changed by your wallpaper.
Times from the timetable rather than live have a clock icon, so they don't depend on color.
With Remove animations on, switching between walking and driving and other changes happen instantly.
