AccessAble

After reading the specialist reviews on venues I still couldn’t tell you if a building was or wasn’t accessible to me as a disabled person so it needs work before it’s helpful. A bit like going to a chip shop and they don’t have any chips.

Great app however the pictures are quite small so it would be nice to be able to zoom into them to really see them closer and see what the area is like

The search engine is not working again and it’s not searching anything in any city working only when you leave blank field The search engine showing on the results in your current location but when you type different city name it shows nothing

Using iPhone. Have tried to search using the app, but when inputting the details (type & location required) nothing shows up on the input screen - though I can see from the cursor movement that something is being registered as input. Clicked to search anyway, screen said ‘searching’, but nothing actually loaded. Tried from the web browser, was able to input details visibly, but clicking ‘Search’ produced an error coded ‘500’. Hoping the developer can look at this and work out where the problem lies. I SO want the site to work for me - but it just doesn’t.

First of all I would like to say a huge thank you for all the work that has gone into creating the Accessable app, it has been particularly useful when we have been out and about in helping to locate Changing places bathrooms for my son and meant that we are able to longer enjoy days out as a family without constantly worrying about changing facilities. I came across your site after a particularly difficult holiday last year when lack of access had a major impact on our holiday. Whilst I was there I thought of setting up something exactly like you have to make life easier as I am convinced it shouldn't always have to be such a challenge. Anyway, luckily for me and many others Accessable has already done all the work in the UK so I will be sharing your resource with others in the various groups I am involved in. The app covers a wide range of access needs but if your particular need isn’t covered the developers seem keen to ensure it is covered in the future.

Just downloaded this app. When I click on Hospital what do I get? Hospitality at Southampton Football Club! Clearly much more work is needed to iron out such bugs

This app shows no wheelchair access pubs and restaurants on the Isle of Wight. That is rubbish there are at least 30 that I know of.

For an “accessible” app, why has it not been tested when the user has enlarged fonts enabled?

I believe this app is a great tool for all disabled people. It gives clear and simple information on what accessibility features are or are not available in a particular place. After trying out the app, I would suggest having maps of the venue and a GPS system included. Although the app does have the names of streets and particular entrances and areas of a venue (e.g Porchester Square), it isn’t always clear where that is within the location. This is particularly difficult for those with sight loss, like myself, who cannot read a regular size map or view signs within the venue. By Emma Purcell AccessAble Champion - Hampshire

This is a really great and useful app, makes such a difference knowing exactly what facilities are available before I go out and about! No more anxiety and a sense of independence and freedom! 100% would recommend!
