Latest update to Starbucks App renders it inaccessible
Dear Janit, Thank you for taking the time last march to submit your thoughts regarding the official Starbucks App and its accessibility relative to VoiceOver. Unfortunately, I have just found that the most current version available in the app store is completely inaccessible. I have sent a letter to Starbucks and I'll copy the text below. Thanks again, Chris Hello, I am writing to comment specifically on the accessibility of your official Starbucks app for the iPhone. Recently, I had the idea of downloading the Starbucks app on to my iPhone so I could more easily manage my Starbucks card. I am blind and I use Apple’s program for people who are blind and visually impaired called VoiceOver. I was honestly stunned when I clicked on the app and found that it is completely unusable under VoiceOver. VoiceOver is shipped with every Apple product using I believe iOS 4 or later. I should state at this point that I did do a little research and found that as of last march, Version 1.5.2 was reasonably accessible, despite a few problems. The app currently available in the app store (Version 2.1.2 posted on December 19, 2011) is not accessible at all. Starbucks has done a lot of great things for people who are disabled. I’ve read numerous news articles highlighting blind people working at various Starbucks locations across the country. Recently, Starbucks sold a line of gift cards with the word “Starbucks” presented in perfectly legible Braille. This really made a positive impact on a lot of blind individuals and sighted people alike. I would like to encourage Starbucks to take the next step. Do the research, allocate the appropriate resources, and make the Starbucks App accessible and useable by your blind and visually impaired customers. I recently read an article which stated that over 47 percent of cell phone users in America use Smart Phones. I know from personal experience that far more than 47 percent of blind people use iPhones because of their inherent accessibility and usability. And I certainly know a lot of blind people who love Starbucks and would love it more if they could access the company via the app. To learn how blind people interact with VoiceOver, check out the following link: www.apple.com/accessibility/iphone/vision.html. Also, Apple has provided a guide for developers on how to make their applications accessible at http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/iPhoneAccessibility/Introducti... Additional information for developing apps that are accessible to VoiceOver users can be found at www.applevis.com/information-app-developers I look forward to communicating with Starbucks representatives so that we can work together to make Starbucks the most open and friendly experience it can be, whether at the coffee shop or on line. Thanks very much, Chris Foster
