Digital Accessibility Status
This mobile application is partially compliant with the Annex to the Act on Digital Accessibility of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Inaccessible Content
Non-compliance with the Annex
- On the main map screen, some icon buttons, including zoom and map-tool buttons, do not have names that describe their function for TalkBack. The screen reader reads some of them only as "button".
- On the "Search" screen, when searching for a forest address, some ownership-type selection controls are not correctly associated with the visible label and are reported by TalkBack as "unlabelled".
- In "BDL Maps", the currently selected map, and in "Points and routes", the selected item, are distinguished only by a color change. In addition, TalkBack does not convey the selected state of a saved point.
- On the "BDL Maps" screen, the white text of the selected item on a light-blue background has insufficient contrast (approximately 1.6:1).
- At the maximum system text size, some tab labels are shortened, and longer names on the "BDL Maps" screen are partially truncated.
- The application does not provide full operation of basic functions using an external keyboard. The Tab and Shift+Tab keys do not move focus between elements, and performing some basic actions requires touch.
- After entering some components with the keyboard, including the "Forest stand map" list/window, it is not possible to leave them using the keyboard.
- When using an external keyboard, there is no visible and predictable focus indicator.
- On some screens, a TalkBack user must move through long, repetitive sequences of elements. There is no mechanism for quickly moving to the main content or basic function of the screen.
- There is only one navigation path to the main functions and areas of the application; no alternative mechanisms for reaching important screens were identified.
- After a search with no results, the message "No addresses found" appears on the screen but is not automatically announced by TalkBack. The user must manually move focus to the message to learn the result of the operation.
Content Not Covered by the Regulations
- The cartographic content presented in the map view is not covered by the provisions of the Act pursuant to Article 3(2)(4) of the Act on Digital Accessibility, concerning maps and interactive maps, including geoportals. The exemption does not cover the application interface elements or functions used, among other things, for searching, location, route recording, and navigation to a point, which were included in the digital accessibility assessment.
Preparation and Updating of the Accessibility Declaration
- Date of preparation of the declaration:
- Date of the last review of the declaration:
The declaration was updated on the basis of a self-assessment carried out in the form of an expert review of a representative sample of screens and functionalities of the mBDL application for Android.
The results of the review are presented in the "Expert Review Report on Compliance with the Annex to the Act on Digital Accessibility - Bank Danych o Lasach mBDL mobile application for Android”.
