Accessibility Statement

Astral Edge aims to conform to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the standard referenced by the European Accessibility Act, US Section 508, the UK Equality Act, and the Canadian Accessible Canada Act. Mobile screens follow the same principles via React Native's built-in accessibility tree.

• Reduce motion toggle — disables star twinkle, planet rotation, and card animations. Also honors your OS-level Reduce Motion preference (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce on web).
• Large text toggle — scales the app's base font size by 1.2× and respects OS-level Dynamic Type / Font Scale settings.
• High contrast toggle — raises text and border contrast ratios above WCAG AA thresholds.
• Every button, toggle, and chart element exposes accessibilityRole, accessibilityHint, and where relevant accessibilityState to VoiceOver, TalkBack, and screen readers. On web, semantic HTML landmarks, ARIA labels, and focus rings are used consistently.
• Minimum 44×44 pt tap targets on all primary actions.
• Color is never the sole information channel — score bands are always paired with a text label and glyph.
• Right-to-left layout supported end-to-end for Arabic.

• The 3D planet visualization on the web is rendered with three.js and WebGL. Users who cannot tolerate 3D animation should enable Reduce Motion or the OS-level prefers-reduced-motion setting, which freezes the solar-system animation. On mobile, the app switches to a 2D SVG fallback for the hero planet.
• The natal chart wheel is visually complex by nature. We expose a text summary of every aspect beside the wheel so screen-reader users get equivalent information without relying on the graphic.
• Some third-party paywall screens (RevenueCat) are rendered by their SDK. We have requested their accessibility compliance statement and will link it here once published.

We test on every release against: VoiceOver (iOS / macOS), TalkBack (Android), NVDA and JAWS (Windows), and the browser's built-in zoom up to 200%. Keyboard-only navigation on web covers every interactive element with a visible focus ring.

If any part of the app blocks you or performs badly with assistive technology, email accessibility@astraledge.app with the screen and device. We aim to respond within 14 days and fix conformance issues in the next release.

EU users who are not satisfied with our response may escalate to their national accessibility enforcement body; contact details for each member state are published by the European Commission.
