Ellume COVID-19 Home Test

Description of App

The Ellume COVID-19 Home Test App guides you step-by-step through using the COVID-19 Home Test kit (purchased separately). It will help you understand your result, know what steps to take next, and allow you to share your test result with your healthcare professional or employer.

Do not use this test as the only guide to manage your illness. Please consult a healthcare professional if your symptoms persist or become more severe, or if you are concerned at any time.

The App cannot be used without the Home Test, which is only available for purchase in the US. The App is only intended for individuals, including international travellers, in the US.

Accessibility Comments

]This is the app used for the accessible COVID-19 test recently announced. You can order one from here. https://special.usps.com/testkits/accessible

The app is perfectly usable by someone who relies on speech. However, deaf-blind users who relies solely on a braille display will need assistance, as this uses a video with no transcript to convey instructions of the product to users. This includes a description, how to open and use the product, how many drops to use, the correct sequence of steps, and generally what to expect when using this product.

I would strongly urge those of you who are able to do so, write a review on the app store and stress the importance of everything being represented as text for braille display users. I am not able to do so because I am running iOS 16 Beta 2.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

There are some accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work around them.

Nice!

Thank you!
I do not think I will need one now, but you should have had a Check sent from the federal government for every order placed thanks to you, as it looks like you are doing their job for them.
I have not seen anything about this anywhere at all.
I'm sure someone will explain how this works later on.
Thank you!
