## Stark Reviews
  ### 1. Essential Tool for Ensuring Color Compliance

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jamie D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I have been using Stark for about three years in my role as a UX/UI designer, primarily to conduct detailed analyses on color contrast. I appreciate its fantastic performance in testing color contrasts, ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.2 guidelines, which is essential for the success of our digital products. Stark's user-friendly interface makes it incredibly easy to use both as a Chrome plugin and within Figma, which suits my workflow. Its intuitive design provides seamless integration with existing software, enhancing my productivity by simplifying how I assess color compliance and recolor codes for designs. I also love how straightforward it is to set up and use, which significantly eases the transition to new projects. Stark was the first solution I explored for these tasks, and it stood out for its ease of use and effective communication capabilities that allow me to share findings with others easily. I enjoy that I can rely on Stark to meet these critical design requirements, which are fundamental to our project's success.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

I find it somewhat challenging at times to select a color on a web page that I need to find. The tool could benefit from a stronger ability to distinguish colors on the page, making it easier to pick the correct colors.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark helps me ensure my digital designs meet WCAG 2.2 color contrast standards, supporting the success of our products. It's user-friendly and integrates into tools like Chrome and Figma, making color compliance checks easy and efficient.

  ### 2. What I expected, but not exceeding

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

The plug in ability to check on any site and 100% the figma integration.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

Sometimes just. little clunky and hate the premium level to recommend other accessible colors.Also wish you could just personalize it to just be a specific type of checker as soon as I open it to pull up. For example just having it check contrast as my default would save me from having to select it every time since that is 98% of the time why I am using it. I am using Stark everyday with my job as a website designer.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

they are becoming more integrated with software which I LOVE! I am also a mentor for others and I always recommend stark right away. Most of the time they have no idea which is mind blowing to me. So then this makes my mind rush back to the marketing and awareness of stark especially to young and student designers.

  ### 3. Easy to learn and understand how to use, takes care of most of the accessibility issues

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vipin K. | UI &amp; Graphic Designer | Photoshop | Figma, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I use stark as a first choice for accessibility. I like the feature of contrast checker mainly because it gives suggestion as well if your color does not meet conformance. It has also the feature of Alt text which is very useful for conveying information to developer, It also has the feature to check the focus order of web.

I also like it's feature like vision simulator, typography and run WCAG audit but uses them sometime.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

I use stark on desktop so I don't use the touch target feature
I also don't use the heading feature because it's mostly inspected by SEO and developers.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Investing in plug-ins like stark is great deal because it can highlight website most of the issues early, make your website accessible to most which means more user indeed more business revenue

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thank you so much, Vipin. You may have missed it, we also provide smart suggestions for other areas of accessibility too -- from typography to touch targets and more!

  ### 4. A smart combination of checks, but against a price.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark’s main pros are that it serves as an all-in-one accessibility toolkit directly in Figma, combining color contrast checks, vision simulators, typography validation, and more into one streamlined workflow. It goes beyond flagging issues by offering smart suggestions (like accessible color alternatives) and real-time feedback, making accessibility checks part of the design process instead of an afterthought.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

While Stark markets itself as an accessibility toolkit for designers, developers, and product teams, the free tier is quite restricted compared to what’s available in the paid Pro or Team subscriptions. This means that if you want the “full” accessibility experience inside Figma, you’ll likely need to pay sometimes significantly (depending on your team size). Something based on credits or a certain number of analyses per time would be a good middle ground.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark addresses the challenge of making digital products accessible and inclusive from the earliest stages of design. Our teams struggled in the past with accessibility being treated as an afterthought, leading to costly fixes, compliance risks, and exclusion of users with disabilities. Stark solves this by embedding accessibility tools directly inside Figma. This allows us to identify and resolve accessibility issues in real time while they design, rather than retrofitting solutions later.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thanks so much for this feedback. It's incredible. "Something based on credits or a certain number of analyses per time would be a good middle ground." is a great suggestion. We're currently revisiting pricing and plans to truly ensure everyone — despite size of team — can truly capitalize on all areas of the platform.

  ### 5. Simple and effective tool that enables and encourages thoughtful accessibility improvements.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark came recommended to me on a Figma course on Udemy. I've currently just used the free version (not premium) and have been really impressed with the tools available to get started. After sign in, the Figma plugin was a breeze to use and I use it to sense-check my understanding of accessibility requirements as I design.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

It's likely just a restriction of the free (not premium) account but rather than use the scan and fix, I'd like to be able to combine some manual checks at one time, e.g. scanning text size/weight and colour all together rather than having to check colour through a separate flow.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Working at a startup, we've had to design our product at pace and it can feel tricky under pressure to understand and implement WCAG guidelines as we go. This tool helps us design for a broader user base which will help as we scale, rather than need to circle back and consider accessibility later (which too many digitals products are guilty of).

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thank you for this feedback. I really love the thinking around that suggestion to optimize a user's experience and streamline the ability to get to a finalized check.

  ### 6. Great Figma Plugin

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Camille S. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

The best thing about Stark is the Figma plugin. Considering how much of accessibility is determined by the design, it's a bit shocking the dearth of tools available for this purpose in design software. The Figma plugin means fewer vague ideas of a design being punted to development to figure out how to make it accessible.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

To run it in CI/CD you have to be on the $6,000 per year team/organization plan at a minimum. So for many companies and individuals Stark isn't really the "end-to-end accessibility"  it's billed as; you'll still need to use axe or similar.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Makes it easier and faster to design accessible user interfaces.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Hey Camille, thanks so much for this feedback. Glad you're loving it. Fully understand regarding CI/CD being starting on the Grow plan. It is indeed an organizational functionality meant to support teams starting to expand and scale their accessibility initiatives. Stark is, price wise, the most competitive in the market given 10 folks get access for $600 per year (on Grow). However, we're currently rethinking our pricing and plans though to really ensure everyone gets to truly try and capitalize on the features we offer.

  ### 7. design

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting

**Reviewed Date:** June 24, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I particularly appreciate how easily Stark identifies accessibility issues in my designs. The automatic color contrast analysis and correction suggestions save valuable time. Additionally, the integration with Figma is seamless, making it an indispensable tool for my UX/UI workflow.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

Sometimes, Stark does not offer automatic solutions for certain complex contrast issues, which requires manual adjustments. Additionally, some advanced features are reserved for the Premium version, which may limit its usefulness for free users.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark helps me ensure that my designs are accessible from the start by quickly identifying contrast issues and suggesting corrections. This allows me to save time on accessibility audits and deliver interfaces that comply with WCAG standards, thereby reducing developer feedback and legal risks.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thanks so much for this feedback! Glad it's been valuable for you.

  ### 8. A great plugin for accessibility with just the right frills.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Simplicity in navigating through features i.e. accessibility audit, simulators, etc. Installing onto your browser is a breeze and integration into Figma is quick.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

May be overwhelming/confusing for first time users/new to accessibility without proper instructions. For individual accessibility designers, the pricing plans are too expensive and rigid as they're focused only on teams/organizations. It'd be nice to see individual pricings in the future as I'd like to continue using it outside of my company.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark helps me easily run accessibility audits for design projects, check color contrast, font size, and check for content hierarchy. The vision simulation is also very cool and helps us better understand visual impairments a little bit more.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Hey there! Thanks so much for this. If you go onto the pricing page, there's actually a tab for individuals where we have a free and premium plan. Hope that helps!

  ### 9. From Fail to AAA Compliant in minimal clicks

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jacob M. | Principal Product Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark reveals issues with your designs that you may have overlooked, and continues to monitor them through their premium service. The plugin is absolutely worth the investment. It's incredibly easy to implement and use—just a click or two away within Figma. I use it on every design of anything.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

It's not overly easy to hide or remove the approved checks within your designs.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Finding font-sizing, color mismatches, color contrast, color blindness, and image alt-text.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Hey Josh, thanks so much for this. 

  ### 10. Once I figured out how to use it and how nice it was, it appeared to paywall me!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance

**Reviewed Date:** January 15, 2026

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Takes font weight into account when looking at contrast for accessibility.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

Getting asked to upgrade as soon as I worked out how to use it!

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Trying to work out helper text contrast.

  ### 11. Stark's Figma plugin has been a game changer for ensuring my designs meet accessibility standards

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amy R. | Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Their Figma plugin is really user friendly when ensuring my designs meet not only WCAG but also APCA standards. It's helped me speed up my process as it's replaced extensions that I previously used through Google Chrome which took a lot longer.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

I haven't found anything that I dislike yet.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps me ensure that our client's designs meet accessibility standards.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thank you so much, Amy! Really glad it's been a game changer.

  ### 12. Must have!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark in Figma is fantastic for ensuring accessibility, with precise contrast checks and realistic vision simulations. I appreciate its intuitive interface and how seamlessly it fits into my design process.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

My main gripe is the restricted free features and occasional slowdowns with big projects, but it remains a must-have tool.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark solves the challenge of designing for accessibility by checking color contrast, simulating various vision impairments, and flagging potential WCAG compliance issues directly in Figma. This saves me time, prevents costly accessibility oversights, and ensures my designs are inclusive from the start—benefiting both users and the overall quality of my work.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thanks for this feedback. I'm glad it's really intuitive and seamlessly fits into your process. I imagine the free features being a bit more manual are what indeed cause the slow down. Happy to give you a trial of the premium features so you can give it a whirl and see if it's valuable to you for those big projects!

  ### 13. Great ADA/WCAG 2.0 tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Health, Wellness and Fitness | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 19, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark is easy to use and implement. Their Figma plugin is what I use for my Designs for ADA/WCAG 2.0 compliance preliminary checks prior to handoff to development. I like that it recommends other color options and shows how persons see things different depending on their vision type.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

no dislikes - note there is a free and paid version.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Visual ADA/WCAG 2.0 compliance and how to show it to others on my team and stakeholders for why we sometimes need to make changes vs. stay the course for creative.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark provides a way of managing digital accessibility accross the entire workflow – from design to code – for different WCAG standards. It‘s quite easy to bring everyone on board and allows to almost effortlessly integrate additional documents such as Figma-design files to a project.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

The pricing models offer only yearly plans and are not ideal for small websites.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

While other tools give me only a quick overview, Stark profoundly helps me track our overall progress for crafting accessible online experiences.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I most often use the Contrast Check tool to verify that the colors I use are accessible. The tool is easy to use and doesn't require any configuration; simply create an account and you're ready to go. I use it daily in Figma.
An added bonus is the color suggestions for making the interface accessible.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

Nothing special, the tool is very well-designed.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps me ensure that color contrasts are high enough to comply with accessibility standards. This is essential for designers.

  ### 19. The best tool as a product designer for Accessibility and Inclusivity

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I am not a paid user, but still Stark gives the good amount of features that I could use.
It's really simple and easy to use since you just need to click a few things to know your design is accessible or not.
The first thing after I designed or when I do audit screens is opening Stark. I use it 2-3 times a week so that I could check the colours are aligned to ADA.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

There's nothing I could think of it. But Stark forces you to sign in to use their product. But once you sign in, the page looks stuck. I think it should automatically go to main page or copy should say 'now you can use it, go back to main page and start using' something like that. Because it looks like sign-in was not processed.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our product has lots of colour contrast issues for text, interaction and also icon colours. So Stark was very helpful for us to quickly verify and work on it.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> That's fantastic to learn how you use Stark in your workflow. Thanks a mill for the sign-in flow feedback. We'll dig into that and determine where the experience should be tweaked.

  ### 20. Powerful accessibility plugin designed to help create more inclusive digital products

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Veronika W. | Senior UX/UI Designer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

The seamless integration works smoothly within design tools without disrupting the workflow as well as the comprehensive contrast checker that easily verifies text and background color contrast against WCAG AA and AAA standards. I also like the color blindness simulator – it helps me understanding how users with different types of color blindness perceive my designs.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

Limited free features as some essential tools are locked behind a paid plan

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark is an essential tool for our teams committed to accessibility. It helps catch common issues early in the design process, making compliance easier and more efficient.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thanks so much for the feedback, Veronika!

  ### 21. One of the best plugins to enhance Design for accessible prodicts!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ioannis B. | Senior Product UIUX Designer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2025

I predominantly used Start to tackle contrast challenges and optimise the focus order as we crafted fresh and engaging UI screens. It is an essential tool for our daily tasks, helping ensure our designs are not only visually appealing but also accessible, and User-friendly.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

I don't dislike anything, but I believe it would be great to have an integration with JIRA to create tickets with ease.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark is helping us identify and test UI screens on Accessibility upfront! In addition to the WCAG, we have to conform to the ADA, ADAO, EAA, and more.

  ### 22. My go to contrast checker in Figma

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2025

**What do you like best about Stark?**

- Stark is my go to contrast checker in Figma, that I use for every project, it is very reliable
- I like that it remembers which future I used last and opens it right away
- The eye picker for colors and the color suggestions are the best parts. They make it easy to see if colors are accessible and give you better options.
- The vision simulator is also very useful.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

As much as I love the eye picker tool it is sometimes hard to use. You have to click too many times to get to it. It could be simpler.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I work for different clients, so I need to check their products and everything I create for for accessibility, especially contrasts.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thanks so much for this feedback. We agree regarding the eye picker. That's an API limitation last we checked, but always looking to improve it -- it bugs us as well! 

  ### 23. Essential for every day web design and development

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

Stark is an incredibly useful accessibility tool, especially for designers working with Figma. It’s easy to use and integrates seamlessly, making it a hassle-free addition to any workflow. The implementation is straightforward, requiring minimal effort to get started, which is a big plus for teams looking to enhance accessibility without technical roadblocks.

One of Stark’s biggest strengths is its wide range of features from color contrast checking to vision simulation, all of which help designers, like me, create more inclusive designs. The customer support is excellent, always responsive and ready to assist with any questions.

I use Stark almost every day, and it has become an essential part of my design process. The website is clear and well-organized making it easy to find information and resources. If you’re looking for an accessibility tool that is powerful yet simple to integrate, Stark is definitely worth considering!

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

Sometimes it doesn't select the right layers and therefore colors so i have to pick the manually

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniel G. | Product Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

While Stark is a solid application with immense potential, I do have one suggestion for improvement. It would be fantastic to see tools for screen readers or other accessibility requirements.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark is making us realize that accessibility is not just another requirement, but a way to stay true to our company's values and ethics of inclusion.

The biggest advantage we gain from Stark is the ability to quickly verify the accessibility of our design system. We can easily check contrast, clickable areas, typography, and more. This has significantly improved our workflow and ensured that our designs are accessible to everyone.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Daniel, I can't begin to explain how much we appreciate knowing this. Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. Knowing Stark has shifted the way you work within the team is massive!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca T. | Creative Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 13, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark seamlessly integrates into my design program, making on-the-fly adjustments not only easy but also intuitive. It takes the guesswork out of contrast, typography, and proximity padding, allowing me to focus on design while ensuring accessibility compliance. The built-in vision simulator is an invaluable tool, offering a clear and straightforward reference for how users will perceive photos, colors, and more. This is my go-to ADA tool.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

There really is nothing I dislike about Stark.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark helps me work through accessibility challenges both internally and with clients in real time. The easy-to-use interface informs conversations effortlessly and helps my team make data-driven decisions about ADA compliance.

  ### 36. An amazing tool for accessibility check

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Marian S. Q. | UI Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark is simple to use but plenty of tools to help my design process. On every project, I always use the contrast tool to make sure all my color combinations are correct.Not only does it tell me about the current combination, but it also tells me which similar color might fit better

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

When I use the contrast tool, sometimes didn't recognize the color of the text. However, it's easy to solve using the colour picker

  ### 37. Accessible Accessibility!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Johnny P. | UX Designer II, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 29, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I love how easy it is to make sure my designs meet accessibility standards. I use the plugin on Figma and it is a game changer.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

A few of their fancy features are behind a paywall, but that is understandable.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark is helping me solve an accessibility issue, specificially that of color contrast. It is crucial that important elements are able to be viewed by all, regardless of seeing ability. Stark's contrast checker helps me make sure my designs won't leave anyone uncertain or hanging. Good color contrast (making sure screen elements can be seen and understood) is a hallmark of digital accessibility.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thanks so much for this review, Johnny!

  ### 40. Stark has become an essential tool in my design process!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stacie K. | UX Design Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 23, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> That's great news, Stacie! Thanks so much for this feedback.

  ### 41. Best companion for design accessibility testing

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gabriel R. | UI/UX Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 21, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I mostly use the Figma Stark plugin to check the designs I create for the company I work in. It has a lot of unique features that helps me really get the accessibility right, like the vision emulation (to check, for example, color blindness and touch targets).

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

The feature I least use is the auto fix because I sometimes feel like I'm losing control over the designs; I prefer to check the different aspects one by one to make sure I don't miss anything and I can improve the overall design in a structured way.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Checking the accessibility of web apps I'm designing in Figma.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Gabriel, thanks so much for this feedback!

  ### 42. Streamlined and Essential

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sanna G. | UX/Digital Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

The Stark plugin for Figma is a game-changer for color accessibility in UX design. Its streamlined interface and powerful contrast analysis features ensure that my designs meet the highest standards of inclusivity. It seamlessly integrates into Figma, making it an essential tool for any UX designer. I appreciate how easy it is to understand and implement, enabling me to use it confidently and frequently in my design process.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

One aspect that I find inconvenient is the inability to copy and paste color values directly from the plugin. This limitation often requires me to memorize or take screenshots of the values to manually transcribe them into my design. The ability to copy and paste values would greatly streamline the workflow and improve productivity.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Ensuring Accessibility: Stark helps me identify potential issues with color contrast that may hinder readability or accessibility for users with visual impairments. By highlighting problematic color combinations, it allows me to make informed design decisions to ensure that my designs are accessible to a wider range of users.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Hey Sanna!

Thank you for leaving this review. You said: "One aspect that I find inconvenient is the inability to copy and paste color values directly from the plugin." → can you say more about this? Right now in the contrast checker you can indeed grab the value of a particular color — even after selecting a new suggestion.

Would love to know what you're experiencing so we can dive into that!

  ### 47. Versitale and always there when I need it

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

I love that stark can easily plug into my existing workflow within Adobe XD. I also like that it doesn't just provide warnings and alerts for compliance issues; it provides suggestions to improve the output. My whole team uses this and together it helps us keep compliant across our brand.

VPAT Compliance across our platform and out brand.

**Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Simple, efficient and elegant way to rapidly test designs for accessibility needs. We've built this into our SOP and is used through the enterprise

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

I'd like keyboard shortcuts, or a better way to keep the plugin open without it interfering with the canvas

Democratising accessibility regardless of designer experience

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Ryan, thanks so much for this feedback. We also would love keyboard shortcuts and is something we're continually thinking about (with regard to parity across integrations). Having said that, we're thrilled knowing Stark is part of your SOP! 

  ### 49. Intuitive Accessibility Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 24, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

Stark is a super user-friendly tool in Figma, and has been a game-changer for accessibility. I especially love the Scan feature, which I use all the time. It allows me to quickly identify and fix contrast issues directly within Figma. Using Stark definitely streamlined my design process.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

One downside is that it cannot determine which contrasts are necessary for specific elements. This means you need to have a good understanding of your design's hierarchy and manually assess which elements require contrast adjustments.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Connecting Accessibility in Design and Frontend.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Thanks for giving us this feedback. Really glad Sidekick has been so beneficial for your team. We definitely understand that more complicated design elements require you to get a bit more manual. We're working on a few things to solve this for a variety of complex UI elements.

  ### 50. Comprehensive tool for a shift left approach to accessibility from the start

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Vernon F. | User Interface Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2024

**What do you like best about Stark?**

As a plugin integrated with Figma, I can design with accessibility from early in our design process. I often use Stark to evaluate contrast and touch target sizes. In addition to being my go-to tool for checking the basics, I love the annotation features coverage of the web, native iOS and Mac, Android, Windows, and freestyle notes.

**What do you dislike about Stark?**

Due to the extensive range of Stark's design tools, the Figma plugin sometimes has performance issues and causes my computer to slow down.

**What problems is Stark solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Stark is helping me bring accessibility into high-fidelity designs. Adding accessibility into component designs and mock-ups is the perfect early stage to ensure our process meets high standards and minimises rework at the build and release stages.

**Official Response from Cat Noone:**

> Vernon! Thanks so much. Glad you're enjoying the annotation coverage and new features. 

Certainly going to look into the performance slowing things down and see what could be potentially causing it (from our end).
