What a disappointment
I was really excited as a wheelchair user to be able to share with other wheelchair users info on accessible businesses in the NYC area, because so many are not accessible. I never got past the sign up page. I got multiple error messages that my data couldn’t be loaded or my password was incorrect. I changed my password 5x and tried to reload more times than I can count. I’m done. Deleting the app now. It’s a shame.

Requires sharing location data to use
I am new to the app. I was unhappy to learn that my location services need to be on and sharing data with this app in order to access the app at any level. Even if what I want to do is prospectively plan a trip and review locations in advance, my location sharing must be active to get into the app. To me this is a significant limitation. To save battery and some sense of control of my data, I don’t have location tracking and sharing on at all times. I certainly don’t need it for all of the benefits this app offers.
That said, the app provides useful information and empowerment that is welcome.

Extremely helpful
I write this with hope that even those from small towns such as myself will download this. Even if you do not use a wheelchair or live somewhere with a small population this app is incredibly helpful. Not only am I able to check places I have reviewed or others have reviewed to see the accessibility but I can also fill in places that haven’t been reported on or have been reported wrong. Even if you do not use any mobility aids I strongly believe that getting this app and filling out info on places you visit can cause a huge positive impact for those with mobility concerns.

Good idea
but needs a not applicable option. I had to give a pool a moderate rating because it doesn’t have accessible tables.
Needs more options
Need to add the following options or abilities: 1. Edit and update posts 2. Option for handicap access at back or side of location 3. Ability to manually input locations not found on map. 4. Add categories for handicap access for a location such as elevator, ramps, lifts, etc and number and location of access point 5. Add comments section

It’s good, but there’s room for improvement.
I work with the elderly, and feel like this app could be a great resource. However, I do have a few suggestions.
First, I think there should be an “I don’t know” option that doesn’t affect the location’s score. To me, an able bodied person, a threshold doesn’t normally grab my attention unless I actively trip over it. I don’t want to say there are no issues with the threshold if I don’t remember. This also ties in to places having the wrong filters applied. I reviewed a theater I attend regularly that does not have tables you can sit at, but I wasn’t able to leave the answer blank.
Second, there are a few businesses in my area that are missing. I would like if there was an option to add a place. It may be a feature already, but I didn’t see it on my own.
Again, I feel like this app has so much good potential. I sent it to many friends, and someone I know that uses a wheelchair. I’m hoping we can get the page for our city fully with reviews.
Keep making improvements!

Incredible idea!
This is a brilliant idea and I really hope the developer can keep updating and expanding. There are a few bugs that need fixing like the screen and confetti lagging once you write a review, or the app crashing every now and then. Can’t wait to see this app get even better :)
Great idea
Sadly I can’t seem to review anything. Every time I try it asks me to login, which I do, then it bumps me straight out back to the homepage. Round and round like that until I give up.
Not ready
Not easy to leave a review for a new place. Very frustrating getting stuck on pages I didn’t want to be on with no back button.
Incredible idea!
I love this concept even more so that there isn't a pay barrier! i think once more people start using and contributing to this the better.
Constructive criticism:
it would be nice if there were also options for other ailments, obviously it's important to raise awareness for places with full accessibility but an option to display places that may be accessible for crutch users but may not be for wheelchair users could be a neat addition. however, i can see why you also wouldn't want this as it could feel exclusionary to full time wheelchair users. but it would also be helpful for people who use other mobility aides.
even just options to showcase accessibility for deaf and or blind folks would be cool.
