Accessibility Comments
This app is mostly accessible and easy to use.
As with most apps of this type, one of the options for accessing entries is via a map. This is unlikely to offer much for a non-sighted user, but thankfully the other options (distance and relevance) enable easy access to the information provided by this app.
