Accessibility Comments

The app is almost completely accessible and it works well with VoiceOver for registering, logging in, setup and cleaning.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

Most buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some minor accessibility issues with this app, but they are easy to deal with.

Other Comments

Important indicators, such as the iRobot's battery status, are not available through Alexa, so the app is critical in some situations.

Is there any way to use the map so only vacuum in somewhere like the kitchen?

By Brad on Saturday, October 21, 2023 - 22:59

Apart from that I really do recommend this app.

The only issue I have with the roomba robots is putting them back on their charging docs. As a blind person it is very hard for me to line the thing up with the station.

An easy way I have found how to do it, there is a slot where the wheeles go, so as long as the wheeles are in the slot it will charge.

I just have a flat charger with a oval back with a light on it.

I don't have the one that removes the dirt for you, my moddle is a bit older.

It's ok though, the robot works fine.
