Mobile Accessibility Updates

We’ve improved and enhanced mobile usability and accessibility across the app to make it easier for all users to navigate, read, and interact

  • Updated Sign-up and profile fields for better contrast and readability on mobile.

  • Added alt text to Dashboard widgets to support screen readers.

  • Improved Notification Centre components for better readability

  • Added ARIA labels to App Refresh and Return buttons for better assistive support.

  • Updated collapsible text box design to meet contrast standards for easier reading.

Other notable improvements & updates:

  • Consistent text formatting: Formatting contents in the app, such as bold, italics and headings now appear consistently on both web and mobile. What you see while editing is exactly what your users will see in the app.

  • Finding Activities in the Content page made simpler and more efficient: Quickly find specific activities in one place using the search bar and ‘View all activities’ function in the Content page on Cogniss Creator.

  • Set day streaks in Behavior to recurring: Allow app users to earn rewards like XP or other incentives each time they complete the streak on consecutive days, encouraging daily engagement and re-engaging returning users.

  • Simplified external video embedding: Now add YouTube and Vimeo videos by pasting URLs directly from your browser. No need to find and extract embed links. This streamlined process makes adding external videos faster and easier.

  • Expo SDK 53 upgrade: Cogniss apps have been upgraded to Expo SDK 53, bringing improved performance, updated libraries, and better support for modern devices. This ensures a smoother, more stable experience for both app builders and users.
