### 3/5 — Hmmm...

*2020-01-17*

Not sure on this app yet. It says I’m gathering information but how do I know that? There is no visual info on the map. The only thing that tells me it’s possibly working is the ruler on the bottom left of the screen changes colour from green to red. There should be some sort of trail shown on the map as to where we have been while recording. I recorded a route the other day but when I go back in to the map a few days later there is no record telling me where I’ve been. One more thing is I have installed this app on 3 devices but cannot log in to the other two. It says the password or username is incorrect. I need to log in on at last 3 devices as I am working in the disability sector looking atm the condition of footpaths and any improvements in the community that are needed to aid those with a disability. I want to map my town but at this stage I am unable to do it

### 5/5 — By far my favourite accessibility app!

*2017-06-09, version 1.3*

I love this app and out of all the accessibility apps I've tried this is by far the best. It's simple and easy to use but very useful and affective at the same time. 

The only thing it is missing is comparability with the apple watch which for me I use an apple watch because it's easier to have to hand than my phone whilst pushing. So, if that was able to be added in the future it would be fantastic -especially as the only current apple watch app for this kind of navigation is just quite awkward to use and nothing in comparison to how this app functions.
