Accessibility statement for AMI Sports: Golf

The Open University is committed to making its websites and mobile applications accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This accessibility statement applies to the  AMI Sports: Golf app iOS version 1.0.4, 5 May 2022.

We want as many people as possible to be able to use our websites and mobile apps, and accessibility is an essential part of our mission. On our Accessibility hub, you'll find everything you need to answer any questions you have about accessibility, whether you're a student or a member of staff.

To adapt the content to your needs or preferences you should be able to:

• Increase the text size.
• Increase the display size.
• Tab through the content; the current location will be indicated by a clear visual change.
• Use zoom to magnify the screen.
• Use the app in either portrait or landscape display.
• Use single pointer gestures (e.g. requiring only one finger or pointer) which do not require precise movement (e.g. swiping) to activate controls.
• Use a screen reader (e.g. VoiceOver for IOS and TalkBack for Android) to listen to the content of screens and use any functionality on the page.
• AbilityNet also provides advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Compliance status

This app is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Non-text content

The graph elements in the Dashboard and Personal Monitoring sections are not able to be read or described when using a screen reader. This fails  WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.1.1: Non-text Content (Level A). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

Enlarging content

When the “Larger Text” option is turned on in the iOS accessibility settings, text in the Dashboard and Personal Monitoring graphs’ scales overlap. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.4: Resize Text (Level AA). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

Meaningful links and buttons

Some links are not recognised and announced as links by screen readers. This makes it difficult for screen reader users to identify and activate these links. Weblinks and email links (in the legal information) may not be accessed when a screen reader is on. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 4.1.2: Name, Role, Value (Level A). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

The log session and daily Wellness Log buttons on the top of the Dashboard are not labelled as buttons in the code and therefore no action description is described by screen readers. The alternative tabbed buttons at the bottom of the screen are all labelled as buttons. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 3.3.2: Labels or Instructions (Level A). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

In the edit profile form screen readers do not recognise Handicap or Password as text buttons. They are selectable but are not read aloud. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 3.3.2: Labels or Instructions (Level A). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

Headings and titles

Subheadings on the graphs are not labelled as a heading in the code. This means that screen reader software cannot identify them as headings. Screen reader users can use correctly marked up headings in several ways e.g. to provide an overview of the content of each screen; to navigate the content. When headings have not been marked up correctly these strategies are not possible for screen reader users. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.3.1: Info and Relationships (Level A). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

Colour contrast

The workload alerts in the personal monitoring section which appear when workload has gone above or below thresholds do not provide enough contrast with the background colour, making them difficult to distinguish. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3: Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA). Contrast is only 3.3:1 at best for the red alerts on the grey background (i.e. 4.5:1 contrast threshold is not met). This can be improved with colour inversion accessibility features. A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

The contrast between the background and the sleep time (purple) passes WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 1.4.3: Contrast (Minimum) (Level AA) for large text but fails the criteria where the font is less than 18 points high. A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

Gestures

Some duration features within the app require circular scrolling to action. This requires a circular swiping gesture, and there is no simple alternative single point gesture provided. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.5.1: Pointer Gestures (Level A). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

The “AMI Sports: Golf” information screens which appear when you first use the app require a swiping gesture to move backwards and forwards through the screens. Although these are not required viewing to use the app we are aware that there is no simple accessible alternative for moving forwards or backwards. This fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.5.1: Pointer Gestures (Level A). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

Target size

The “AMI Sports: Golf” c fails WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.5.5: Target Size (Enhanced) (Level AAA) (Target size). A remediation date will be established following further planned testing of the app in Spring 2026.

(Note: WCAG 2.2 Success Criterion 2.5.5: Target Size (Enhanced) (Level AAA) is a Level AAA criterion, and we are not required to support this as part of the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations. However, we believe that this is an important aspect of app accessibility and so we have included this in our accessibility testing for apps).

Preparation of this accessibility statement

This statement was prepared on 10 June 2021.

This statement was last reviewed on 22 December 2025.

This app was last tested on 10 June 2021.

Testing was carried out by the Open University Accessibility and Usability Evaluation team. All main pages on the app were tested, this included the Dashboard, Personal Monitoring, Daily Wellness, Log a Session and My Profile pages. This approach provided a full assessment of the app features.

Further testing of the app is planned for Spring 2026 after which this accessibility statement will be updated to include identified non-compliances and remediation dates.
