Free This app is not available yet, but will hopefully be launchng in 2019. It will help people with any type of disability navigate public spaces and search for specific disability friendly features and services.

The app will contain a Vision filter (i.e. Braille Menus, Maps, Service Animal Relief areas, Background Noise Levels, etc.), a Hearing Filter (background noise levels, sign language availability, staff assistance, etc.), a Mobility Filter (accessible ramps, bathrooms, hotel rooms, nearby public transportation, etc.), and a Cognitive Filter (sound, light, scent sensitivities, crowd sizes, etc.). The Ability App will be on the website and also free to download to all mobile devices, Apple & Android. Ability App was begun by Alex Knoll in 2014 when he was just 9 years old. Now 14, Alex continues his work as a tech founder and international speaker with a passion for helping people with disabilities. Check the website for news and updates and how you can assist with the database of information.
