Feature Request - ADA compliant Larger fonts / higher contrast colors

[Cousinisaac]

Please support iOS font sizes and use darker color fonts for people with low vision. This goes for the forum as well. Thanks!

on the forum at least you are able to change the color layout.

step one, click on your profile picture on the top right.
when you click on where the yellow arrow is , you get a drop down menu. from that menu click on preferences like so

once on the preferences page, verified by it being highlighted, ( see #1 in the pic)
go to the bottom of the menu on the left side and choose interface. #2

on the middle options of the page, choose the theme as dark #3 ( notice that you can also adjust the font size on the forum too, right under the theme option)

as far as the forum goes, I find this much easier to read.

and I believe they were working on a dark mode for the app as well.

Welcome to the community, @Cousinisaac. There are already Wishlist topics for what you are requesting in the app.

App Dark Theme/Mode

I’d love to see a dark mode theme for the app with a black or mostly black interface. There is nothing like opening the app to view an alert in bed to be blinded by the current white dominate interface.

Accessibility Colors / iOS Smart Invert & font scaling

Below are some areas that the young whippersnappers with 20/20 vision who develop this app could improve on (from the experience of someone who is over 40). 1, Firmware update screen 85% of the screen is unused. Meanwhile, the update progress text is an 8 or 9 point font and the text asking not to poweroff the cam is not much bigger. Why not remove the cute follows-the-progress-bar % progress text and use all that blank space to add a 48 point % progress indication? Is there a technical re…

Do note, however, that this will change the layout/organization of the forum.

yes, but sadly that would be a very intricate description of different changes so I left all of those out

Yes, many people want a more readable app, so why does the developer seem to be actively ignoring the concept? I’d rather have a simple font change than deck my deadbolts with Wyze Locks and invite people to hack my home.

Weak readability takes usability down to a 6 out of 10 for me (over 50 eyes).

[DreadPirateRush]

I hear you. I have over 50 eyes as well. Both of these following topics are being researched, so they are not being ignored. It’s just unknown if, or when, Wyze may start testing them.

Font/icon color and size in the app (readability)

When loading an event video, the Percentage shows up in the official Wyze turquoise color. Black would be preferable and, more importantly, readable.

The current colors fail web accessibility color contrast tests. Bad practice on the website (and the website devs should know this!!) but in the mobile app it’s VERY hard to read, even to see whether the cam is on or off.
Per webaim.org the pale sea green fails every level:

I’m with others here – please do change this!
