Accessibility Features
BuyersMarket is designed for every Jamaican. The app's accessibility settings help everyone save money on groceries, whatever their needs. There are also quick presets that switch on recommended settings for common needs.
"Everyone deserves to save money on groceries! We've worked hard to make sure BuyersMarket is usable by all Jamaicans. If you need help with any accessibility feature, I'm here!"
