Setting Up Accessibility for Your Needs

A practical guide from the 3mpwrApp team.

3mpwrApp was built accessibility-first. Every feature was designed with the full range of disability experiences in mind — not retrofitted after launch.

Our settings are deeply granular because “accessibility” is not one thing. Someone with ADHD has different needs than someone with low vision, who has different needs than someone with motor disabilities. You should be able to configure the app to match your actual situation.

Everything you configure saves automatically. Switch between Simple Mode and full mode as many times as you need — your settings always come back to where you left them.

What You’ll Learn

• Dyslexia-friendly fonts reduce visual confusion for dense text
• High contrast mode supports low vision and photosensitivity
• Screen reader optimization works with VoiceOver and TalkBack natively
• Simple Mode reduces the app to 5 core features on bad health days
• Motor accessibility reduces required gesture precision across the whole app

Step by Step

Step 1: Enable Simple Mode during a flare to avoid cognitive overwhelm

Step 2: Turn on Dyslexia Support to apply the accessible font throughout the entire app

Step 3: Use Switch Access compatibility for single-button navigation on Android

Step 4: Set font size to Maximum or increase button target sizes for motor accessibility

Key Takeaways

• Accessibility is not a feature — it is the foundation everything else is built on
• No two disabilities are the same; your settings should reflect your actual situation
• All accessibility preferences persist across sessions — you configure once
