submitted by pandalaur
Hey guys, i found a great deal for a Xiaomi MiBand 4, i mention my vision is allmost inexistent on my right eye and i have verry low vision on my left eye, my question is can i use this band trough the app or vibrations? should i get it regardless of my problems, have one of you tested this band out? what was like, thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

The app you need in order to track your fitness data has awful accessibility. Xiaomi doesn't give a fuck about us. Stay away.

Yes i tested the app and on android is literally no way to imput your data like height and stuff like this.

My SIL has Miband theres absolutley no accessibility helpful functions for any kind of disability. If you need any budget ones theres smartwatches with WearOS and Samsung's smartwatches with TitzenOS which are fully accessible (of course models with speakers if you rely on screenreaders if not then any model because theres bigger text option, tripple tap to zoom anywhere aka magnifier) if you have more money and needs premium theres Apple Waych.

I have a Xiaomi Mi Band 3, same in all regards to the Mi Band 4 except with a monochromic display, and I use it with my iPhone 11. It's... All right. Syncing with Apple Health is terrible, and I have to rely on third party apps to track my stats. Vibrations are ok, at least I know when I receive notifications if I'm in the other room. You can't use the band standalone, you're better off with an Apple Watch or a Galaxy Active watch for that, they have VoiceOver and Voice Assistant respectively.
