Oftentimes when we talk about accessibility in the disability community we seldom see what it looks like in the real world. In the screenshot provided, you can see how the magnification causes the text to overlap. This is a problem a lot of people with low vision face in many applications.
“It’s so frustrating when apps aren’t accessible. I use Spotify every day and I can hardly ever see what I’m doing and it gives me headaches trying to decipher the text because it is tiny and overlaps. It would be lovely if companies valued our dollar as much as others and made their services accessible! 2018 should be the year of making EVERYTHING accessible!” ~Chrissy
