AccessNow

AccessNow is an accessibility platform and mobile app that empowers users to discover and rate the accessibility of restaurants, stores, hotels, and attractions worldwide. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, the app has evolved into a comprehensive community movement that celebrates inclusive places. The platform allows users to search for specific accessibility features—such as automatic doors, accessible parking, or gender-neutral washrooms—and browse a map of nearby locations with their specific needs in mind. A significant recent update introduced a "Meet the AI Accessibility Assistant," a feature that provides quick, AI-powered summaries of a location's overall accessibility highlights at a glance, allowing users to make informed decisions without reading through every full review. Users can contribute via a "Quick Rate" system or leave detailed reviews with photos. AccessNow partners with various destination marketing organizations to curate accessible guides, ensuring that inclusive travel and leisure are easier to navigate for everyone.
