All reported criteria (80)
| Criterion | Name | Level | Conformance | Remarks from vendor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 | Non-text Content | A | Partially Supports | Software: The product provides sufficient text alternatives for most instances of application. Exceptions include: An image that acts as a link or control does not have a text alternative, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the function performed by the image. This occurs on the following screen: Menu. Some dynamically changing images that act as a link or control do not have a text alternative that changes with them, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader will not understand the function performed by each image. This occurs on the following scre |
| 1.2.1 | Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded audio-only or video-only media. |
| 1.2.2 | Captions (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded synchronized media content that would require captions. |
| 1.2.3 | Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded video content that would require audio description or a media alternative. |
| 1.2.4 | Captions (Live) | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain live synchronized media. |
| 1.2.5 | Audio Description (Prerecorded) | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain prerecorded video content that would require audio description. |
| 1.3.1 | Info and Relationships | A | Partially Supports | Software: Most visual structure and relationship information is provided through semantics | object information or in text. Exceptions include: Some text that visually functions as a heading is not marked up as a heading, so the structure of the content is not properly conveyed to assistive technologies and people who are blind and/or use a screen reader. This occurs on the following screens: Home - For you; Learn; Premium member mobile; Your stuff – projects. Some blocks of text are marked up as headings but are not headings, so the structure of the content is misrepresented to assistive tech |
| 1.3.2 | Meaningful Sequence | A | Partially Supports | Software: The product presents most content in a meaningful sequence. Exceptions include: Screen readers can read content outside some modal dialogs, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may become disoriented or confused. This occurs on the following screens: Browse your files; Download menu; Media modal; Menu; Mobile Editor for free users; Push notifications; Upload from device; Your stuff – Files. Some visually hidden content is announced by a screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may be misled or confused when hearing content that is not intended t |
| 1.3.3 | Sensory Characteristics | A | Supports | Software: Instructions do not rely solely on sensory characteristics. |
| 1.3.4 | Orientation (WCAG 2.1) | AA | Does Not Support | Software : Content restricts its view and operation to a single display orientation. Exception includes: When the display orientation is changed (from portrait to landscape or vice versa), the content does not adjust to the new orientation, so people who require a particular display orientation may not be able to access some of that content or functionality. This occurs in most of the screens on the application. |
| 1.3.5 | Identify Input Purpose (WCAG 2.1) | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product’s technology does not have support for programmatic identification of input purpose. |
| 1.4.1 | Use of Color | A | Supports | Software : The product does not convey information through color alone. |
| 1.4.2 | Audio Control | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain audio that plays automatically. |
| 1.4.3 | Contrast (Minimum) | AA | Partially Supports | Software: Most text meets minimum contrast requirements. Exception includes: The color contrast ratio between text and its background is less than 4.5:1, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty reading the text. This occurs on the following screen: Browse your files. |
| 1.4.4 | Resize text | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This success criterion technically doesn't apply to Native iOS application. |
| 1.4.5 | Images of Text | AA | Supports | Software: The product uses text instead of images of text, except for branding elements that are considered essential. |
| 1.4.10 | Reflow | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This success criterion technically doesn't apply to Native iOS application. |
| 1.4.11 | Non-text Contrast | AA | Partially Supports | Software: Most meaningful non-text content elements have sufficient contrast. Exception includes: The indicator for the state of an interactive element (like a checkbox or radio button) does not have a 3:1 color contrast ratio with the background, so people who are colorblind or have low vision may have difficulty perceiving the state of the interactive element. This occurs on the following screen: Mobile Editor for free users. |
| 1.4.12 | Text Spacing | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product is not implemented using markup languages. |
| 1.4.13 | Content on Hover or Focus | AA | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain elements triggered by hover or focus. |
| 2.1.1 | Keyboard | A | Partially Supports | Software: Most product functionality can be operated through alternative input methods or keyboard interface. Exceptions include Multiple actions cannot be performed when using voice control, so people who rely on voice control to navigate and operate content cannot perform these actions. This occurs on the following screens: Browse your files; Home - For you; Media modal; Menu; Mobile Editor for free users; Nav bar (bottom); Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects. Multiple actions cannot be performed when using a screen reader, so people who are blind and others who use a screen reader can |
| 2.1.2 | No Keyboard Trap | A | Supports | Software: The product does not include keyboard traps. |
| 2.1.4 | Character Key Shortcuts | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not provide character key shortcuts. |
| 2.2.1 | Timing Adjustable | A | Partially Supports | Software: The product does not include time limits. Exceptions include: Some content visually appears and disappears with no ability to adjust how long the content is visible, potentially preventing people who are blind, have low vision, or have mobility or cognitive disabilities from locating or reading the content. This occurs on the following screens: Mobile Home for free users; Your stuff – projects. |
| 2.2.2 | Pause, Stop, Hide | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not include elements which move, blink, scroll, or auto-update. |
| 2.3.1 | Three Flashes or Below Threshold | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not contain flashing content. |
| 2.4.1 | Bypass Blocks | A | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.4.2 | Page Titled | A | Supports | Software: The title of the software describes its purpose. |
| 2.4.3 | Focus Order | A | Supports | Software: Components receive focus in a meaningful order. |

| 2.4.5 | Multiple Ways | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.4.6 | Headings and Labels | AA | Partially Supports | Software: Most of the headings and labels are descriptive. Exceptions include: Multiple programmatic labels for controls or form input fields do not convey the purpose of the control or input, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader may not understand what a control does or what data to enter. This occurs on the following screens: Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for free users. Multiple labels for controls or form input fields do not convey the purpose of the control or input, so users may not understand what the control does or what data to enter, especially people with c |
| 2.4.7 | Focus Visible | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.4.11 | Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 2.5.1 | Pointer Gestures | A | Partially Supports | Software: Most elements do not require multipoint or path-based gestures for their operation. Exceptions include: Functionality (excluding operating system, user agents, or assistive technology functions) relies on path-based gestures that require the user to move the finger or pointer in a specific path or sequence, so people with motor disabilities or limited dexterity and people who use certain assistive technology to interact with the page will not be able to operate this functionality. This occurs on the following screens: Learn; Media modal; Mobile Editor for free users; Mobile Home for |
| 2.5.2 | Pointer Cancellation | A | Supports | Software: Product functions that use a single pointer are completed when the user releases the pointer and allow the user to cancel the pointer action before completing the pointer click. |
| 2.5.3 | Label in Name | A | Partially Supports | Software: In most product functions, accessible names of controls contain the text of their visible labels. Exceptions include: The accessible name of an interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not contain the visible label, so people who use speech input to navigate and operate content will not be able to access the element. This occurs on the following screen: Mobile Home for free users. An interactive element (such as a link, button, or form input) does not have an accessible name because its visible label is not programmatically associated with the element, so peop |
| 2.5.4 | Motion Actuation | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product does not have functionality operated by device motion or user motion. |
| 2.5.7 | Dragging Movements | AA | Supports | Software: All functionality that uses a dragging movement can be achieved by a single pointer without dragging, unless dragging is essential or the functionality is determined by the user agent and not modified by the author. |
| 2.5.8 | Target Size (Minimum) | AA | Supports | Software: The size of the target for each clickable control is at least 24 by 24 pt or are spaced apart so that a 24 pt diameter circle centered on the target does not touch another target nor a 24 pt diameter circle placed on the center of any other adjacent targets that are less than 24 by 24 pt. |
| 3.1.1 | Language of Page | A | Supports | Software: The product relies on the features of the underlying operating system to set and indicate the language of the user interface. |
| 3.1.2 | Language of Parts | AA | Not Applicable | Software: Content is only presented in one language at a time. |
| 3.2.1 | On Focus | A | Partially Supports | Software: In most product functions, components do not initiate a change of context when focused. Exceptions include: When multiple elements receive screen reader focus, focus is automatically removed or redirected, so people who use a screen reader may become confused or disoriented. This occurs on the following screens: Download menu; Media modal; Menu; Your stuff – Files; Your stuff – projects. When a component receives screen reader focus, it results in a substantial, unanticipated context change (such as a change in the page content that changes the meaning of the page), so people who use |
| 3.2.2 | On Input | A | Supports | Software: Changes of context do not occur automatically on user input. |
| 3.2.3 | Consistent Navigation | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |
| 3.2.4 | Consistent Identification | AA | Not Applicable | Software: This criterion does not apply to non-web software. |

| 3.3.1 | Error Identification | A | Supports | Software: Where input errors are automatically detected items in error are identified and error messages are provided as text. |
| 3.3.2 | Labels or Instructions | A | Partially Supports | Software: Labels are provided for most input fields. Exceptions include: The label for a form field is missing, so the field's purpose is not clear. This occurs on the following screen: Your stuff – projects. The label for a select dropdown is missing, so the field's purpose is not clear. This occurs on the following screen: Your stuff – Files. |
| 3.3.7 | Redundant Entry | A | Supports | Software: If information previously entered by, or provided to, the user is required to be entered again in the same process, that information is either automatically populated or available for the user to select unless the previously entered information is no longer valid or re-entering the information is essential or required to ensure security. |
| 3.3.3 | Error Suggestion | AA | Supports | Software: Where input errors are automatically detected, suggestions for correction are provided to the user. |
| 3.3.4 | Error Prevention (Legal, Financial, Data) | AA | Supports | Software: The product does not process legal commitments or financial transactions. |
| 3.3.8 | Accessible Authentication (Minimum) | AA | Supports | Software: A cognitive function test (such as remembering a password or solving a puzzle) is not required for any step in an authentication process unless either another method is available that does not rely on a cognitive function test; help is available to assist the user in completing the test; or the test is to recognize objects or identify non-text content the user provided to the product. |
| 4.1.1 | Parsing | A | Not Applicable | Software: The product is not implemented using markup languages. |
| 4.1.2 | Name, Role, Value | A | Does Not Support | Software: User interface components in most product functions do not provide programmatic name, role, state, or value information. Exceptions include: Multiple elements that look like a tab bar (a row of buttons at the bottom of the screen) do not behave like one, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may not be able to understand the purpose of the buttons or how to interact with them. This occurs on the following screens: Media modal; Nav bar (bottom). A control opens Safari but does not have a link role, so people who are blind and/or use a screen |
| 4.1.3 | Status Messages | AA | Partially Supports | Software: In most cases, status messages can be programmatically determined and presented by assistive technologies without receiving focus. Exceptions include: Some status messages are not automatically announced by the screen reader, so people who are blind and/or use a screen reader or other assistive technology may completely miss the status messages or they may not hear them in a timely fashion. This occurs on the following screen: Mobile Editor for free users; Your stuff – Files. |
