Accessibility statement for Technogym mobile application

This accessibility statement applies to: 

This mobile application is run by the Edinburgh Sport at the University of Edinburgh. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this application. For example, that means you should be able to:

• Use the majority of the app using Android screen reader TalkBack
• Use Android magnifier to magnify the content
• Use colour invert options to change the colours on the app

We’ve also made the application text as simple as possible to understand. However, some of our content is technical, and we use technical terms where there is no easier wording we could use without changing what the text means.
