Why is accessibility important in mobile apps?
According to a survey, 70% of visually impaired people who use a screen reader use it on a mobile device with a view to Internet accessibility. If you design a mobile app that will have more accessibility such as voice recognition and custom view controls, you will be able to reach a larger audience.

Ensure Consistent Layouts and Templates
Consistency is key when keeping apps user-friendly and accessible. Having a layout that changes depending on the screen's positioning or device can make it hard for users to know how to navigate.
Do mobile apps need to be accessible?
Mobile app and mobile website must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is applicable to all “places of public accommodation,” and mobile products and services — while not specifically listed in the text of the ADA — must provide reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities.
