### 1/5 — Too simple

*2025-12-17, version 1.0.8*

Wayyy too simple. It advertises simplicity as a positive but really it’s its downfall. No info for what different icons mean, no info can be added about bathrooms, parking, etc and as wheelchair users know not all bathrooms or parking spaces are created equal. This app is about as useful as a Google Maps overview of a place, those at least people can comment on their reviews. Literally any other accessibility map app is better than this one.

### 2/5 — Can’t correct false info

*2025-10-20, version 1.0.8*

I just found this app based in a recommendation in an article I was reading about handicap accessibility.  Because I’m familiar with my area I checked out some of the local recommendations to see about accuracy.    I noted one location there is completely inaccessible. It has been for two years for anyone with a walker or wheelchair. How can this be corrected?   Secondly as one review said some instructions would be helpful.  Thirdly even if the bathrooms are accessible, if you can’t get in the building, it doesn’t make any difference.   Nice concept app, short on execution.  Keep on trying.

### 2/5 — Data not accurate and cannot edit locations.

*2024-07-26, version 1.0.8*

Accidentally added our home address and can’t find any way to remove it!!

### 1/5 — Poor information

*2023-05-21, version 1.0.8*

I looked at about 10 locations around us and every one was incorrect or has no description. Great idea for an app but needs more work s add me some moderation to ensure the information is correct.

### 3/5 — Ability to delete incorrect locations

*2022-08-31, version 1.0.8*

The app needs a way to delete incorrect locations or a way to inform developers to maintain incorrect locations but it would help it say I added a location and I added it wrong I could delete and or amend

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-07-14, version 1.0.8*

Down loaded 7/14/22 . Map looks great, interface looks great, type in search bar “ restroom , results said no rest rooms in this area. Not I know that the south mall has restrooms and a lot of places in the bay shore area.  App doesn’t work.

### 4/5 — Help information

*2022-03-19, version 1.0.8*

If I were to look farther than I have would it show me how to add and edit washrooms or accessibility sites . 
I am sure I should have perused this app and it,s variables before writing this . 
Can I add a business washroom …. 
What are the requirements to add a site .. 
does a site need multiple assessments before it can be added . 
Not all washrooms are built the same or as accessible to some as to others .

### 3/5 — Good concept but no editing tools!

*2022-02-14, version 1.0.8*

Very easy to add a place but no way of deleting a place added by yourself if adding incorrectly! Will have people queuing up at my home to use the bathroom!!!

### 3/5 — Confusing

*2021-03-07, version 1.0.7*

There are no instructions on how to add locations, nor does it say that you have to be in the location when you add it. ANY kind of guidance would have been helpful.

### 3/5 — Disabled parking locations

*2021-02-02*

This App is a great idea and I will be adding locations when I find them not included. I note a couple near me that are not here but I won’t add them until I am at the location to ensure their location is accurate.

My rating is based on limited experience in Sydney. I do not know if local councils have their own maps or if their are other resources that could be accessed to make the contents as complete as is practical/possible.

Good work so far. It’s up to users who to build up its content in Australia.

It’s great that it has international coverage although in these COVID-19 times overseas locations are not as critical for non-travellers.
