Q2 2024

  1. Provide color contrast checker for clients - primary, secondary and action colors in mobile app.
    1. This alert in the Manager will inform our clients that their color selection is not ADA compliant (4:9:1 minimum standard).

    2. Work to ensure voice over provides context to end user - e.g. Add player to keep score, Player 1 is Sara Smith.
    3. Work to ensure color contrast on Navigational Arrows to move back and forth from hole to hole.

    14. When tapping on tee colors added tooltip to call out tee name, distance and yards.

We found a possible bug with Talkback voice over where at times the end user is prompted to 'double' tap when they actually need to 'tap' then 'tap and hold' to progress to the next screen. It's inconsistent (seems to be more on Sencha screens vs React) however we want to alert our clients and their customers so they can properly navigate the app.
