Using Expo to develop our application has come with a welcome side effect – it has built in accessibility features to allow for all users to use our app with ease. Building these into our code will allow users who use voiceOver on iOS and TalkBack on Android to use our application – providing labels, which work like alts in HTML. Accessibility hints are another feature that is built in to Expo which will allow us to set hints which expand on the label of a function – such as allowing users to know that the DCU C&S button will take them back to the homepage of the application.
