+++ HandicapX becomes abilityX +++ Sometimes it's time for a name that better expresses what something stands for. With version 2.5.0, HandicapX becomes abilityX. The new name shifts the focus more towards abilities, possibilities and participation – and better reflects what this app has always been about. We're moving with the times, evolving, and staying true to ourselves. Nothing changes in terms of functionality, content or standards. abilityX remains the specialist for accessible toilets – reliable, anonymous and community-driven. For existing users, nothing changes either. Already unlocked full versions and existing subscriptions remain intact and are not affected by the renaming. +++ New Look – Same Values +++ As part of the renaming, we've redesigned all graphics in the app and App Store. The new look is clearer, calmer and more focused on readability and orientation – with the goal of building trust and further simplifying usage. +++ Euro Key and RADAR (NKS) Key +++ In addition to the Euro Key, abilityX now also shows where the RADAR (NKS) Key can be used in the United Kingdom. Especially for travellers and mobile users, this provides more security and better assessment on site. +++ Better Overview of Opening Hours and Facilities +++ The display of opening hours and facility features has been further improved. You can now see more quickly whether a location is currently accessible and which important features are available – such as care equipment or automatic doors. +++ Stronger Together – Community and Editorial Team +++ abilityX thrives on participation. New locations, corrections and tips come from the community and continue to be editorially reviewed before publication. This keeps the app reliable – and it grows together with the people who use it. +++ Minor Optimisations in the Background +++ Additionally, we've made technical adjustments to further improve stability, performance and usability.

New in this version (2.4.0) Your feedback is our roadmap – and with version 2.4.0 we're really delivering. New features, new languages, smarter lists and a big plus in orientation. Care beds & changing tables: Now part of the app! ------------------------------------------------ From now on, you can specifically filter accessible restrooms according to whether they are equipped with care beds or changing tables. Especially for caregivers, families with children with disabilities or people with high assistance needs, this was a long-expressed wish – and it was and is a real matter of the heart for us to introduce this feature now. We are currently beginning to collect this important information thanks to our community. The focus is clearly on participation: You can report, supplement or correct locations with care beds or changing tables directly in the app. This creates a growing database – by those affected for those affected, checked by our editorial team, supported by real need. New list view with distance, direction & sorting -------------------------------------------------------- The list view has been completely redesigned – and now makes it even easier to find the nearest accessible restroom quickly and specifically: - Next to each entry, the distance to the location is now displayed – at a glance, without tapping. - Additionally, an arrow next to each entry shows in which direction the location lies. - If you rotate your smartphone, all arrows rotate with it – you get immediately understandable, visual orientation. - And: You can now sort the list by distance – so what's closest is always displayed first. So you not only know where the nearest accessible restroom is, but also in which direction you need to go. Faster, clearer, more practical for daily use. 10 new languages for more participation worldwide ------------------------------------------- Accessibility doesn't end at language barriers. That's why HandicapX is now available in 16 languages. In addition to German, English, Spanish, Polish, Russian and Japanese, newly added are: - French - Italian - Portuguese (Europe) - Portuguese (Brazil) - Danish - Swedish - Dutch - Slovak - Hindi and Chinese (simplified) So even more people worldwide can find, report and share accessible restrooms – inclusive, accessible, global. UX & UI: Fine-tuning for your daily life -------------------------------------- Improved readability, optimized scrolling, clearer navigation. Many small adjustments – for a smoother use in daily life. In short: many small details – a significantly smoother user experience. Quality through community + editorial team ------------------------------------ Even with version 2.4.0, the principle remains: The community provides the data, our editorial team ensures quality. - Newly reported locations - Corrections & updates - Entries marked for deletion continue to be editorially reviewed before going live. Several thousand verified datasets and an active community of thoughtful users ensure daily that HandicapX remains current, trustworthy and helpful. Thanks to everyone who participates, shares places, gives feedback and makes accessibility visible. This app lives through you – and grows with you.

Enjoy the following improvements with us: - NEW Filter Function: The new filter feature allows you to customize your search results. Want to see only accessible restrooms that are public, currently open and can be opened with the Euro-Key? No problem! - Personalize: The new filter feature remembers your personal settings as long as the filter is active. This allows you to personalize your search results across all maps and lists - without logging in or registering. - Improvements for the blind and visually impaired: Navigation has been improved, and icons and buttons have been adjusted to make better use of VoiceOver (Apple screen reader).

„Near me" function becomes "Free search“ In previous versions of the HandicapX app, the "Near me" function only displayed accessible toilets within a certain radius of the current location on the map. When moving and zooming the map, no new locations were reloaded. This kept loading times as short as possible. Unfortunately, however, this also led to the false assumption that no further locations were available. The "Near me" function is used to search in the immediate vicinity and the "Find toilet" function is used to search worldwide for an accessible toilet. After evaluating the feedback and the many requests made to us in forums and by e-mail, we have now changed this function. NEW - "Free search": With the help of this new feature, users of the HandicapX app can view all accessible toilets listed with us on a single map at any time, freely move and zoom map sections!!! With no restrictions, the locations are displayed without delays. We wish you a lot of fun and more accessibility with this new feature! VERSIONS The HandicapX app is now available in two versions - a free version (freemium) and a full subscription version. • Free version (Freemium) The function "Near me" shows you 5 accessible toilets in your immediate vicinity at any time at the push of a button. In addition, you have the possibility to report new locations of accessible toilets to our editorial staff and other users at any time. • Full version (subscription) With the full version you can use the full functionality of the HandicapX app as described above. After you have downloaded and tried the free version (Freemium) of the HandicapX app, you can activate the full version via a subscription, which you can cancel monthly.
