I'm giving this a 2star because of a previous install on my other phone, HTC, which worked very well. However on my new phone, Moto G Play, running android v6 tap the icon, screen flashes & it will not open.

Its great to finally see someone make it, but I haven't yet worked out how to add a new entry without knowing the exact address. I wanted to add info on a good, w chair accessible toilet in my local McDonalds. But despite pointing it out on the map, it wouldn't let me add an entry without full address. It will take a lot longer to Google and add this info instead of just letting ppl point out where stuff is on the map. Maybe the devs think it will allow lots of inaccurate posting of new toilet/parking locations. But surely if someone is rating a place for w CH accessible toilets or parking ,they would know accurately enough where it is? I think a quick entry system would encourage a lot more entries to the system. Pls add quick entry system for full 5 stars + to encourage more entries :) Other than that its brilliant!

It would not make any difference if I could keep this app open anyway because there is never anything showing up on the map in my area for any app like this and I'm severely physically handicapped and do not have the energy to be going around and trying to find all of these places to put them on the map. The places I'm aware of are only because they're nearby and I had to find out the hard way to go back again and try to put them all on the map would be rediculous especially seeing as it crashed uninstallin

Found this app a while ago but only recently started using it. The importance of 'user input' should be stressed a bit more than it is, I've added a couple of places already and will continue to do so as I find them. But we should all be helping each other which in return we will be helping ourselves! This is a great app, a big thank you to the Devs, it's very much appreciated. On a constructive note, you could perhaps explain better how to 'add' to the app, other than that, it's perfect, cheers!

I am wheelchair bound and have been searching for an app of this nature. I am a senior citizen and do travel about my city frequently. Public restrooms are difficult to locate and stores/restaurants don't want outsiders using unless we are customers. Thank you too the developers and will help build this app as I locate new accessible restrooms. My smartphone is a SAMSUNG Galaxy Stellar.
