This is the play store link and honestly: wow. You offering to pay is making my head spin. That's incredibly kind of you. However I truly don't want to buy it overall since it's tied to the wheels, which I don't own, and I might get other wheels in 5 years and then... I can start over. It's the principal that I get a device with "cruise control" so I can cover more distance on my own but then the cruise control alone costs 100 bucks.

I'm in a country where people assume disabled people are taken care of. Quite the opposite.

I'm sorry bout your situation, but may I ask what country are you talking about? (So that I may never set a foot in it.)

[-] win95@lemmy.zip 33 points 3 months ago

It may shock you but: the Netherlands

[-] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

It actually does. All I know about the netherlands is that Amsterdam = good, blame this guy. All his videos are basically the same. He tells you how bad something is (in city design), and tell you how good Amsterdam is. Basically promoting that city, guess he doesn't talk about DLCs for medical utilities.

The irony that I absolutely despise Amsterdam and try to avoid that city at all costs since it's once of the least accessible cities in this country in my experience. If I do have to go I absolutely need my husband to go with me to push me around which is dehumanizing and makes me feel like a burden. The cobblestones are an attack on my joints as well.

It's why I often say my disability isn't making me disabled but society is.

A totally different perspective, thank you.

I don't mind if you have new wheels in 5 years. If you can't get this working contact me and I'll take care of it. Hopefully you can get it working without giving the greedy bastards anything though. =P

Lol. Looking into that app a little bit and what a shitshow. I'm even more pissed off than I was before.

[-] win95@lemmy.zip 21 points 3 months ago

I figured it out!!!! I updated this post. And yea the app is like a student programmar trying to build something lol. Even the navigation part doesn't work but I just use maps for that anyway.

Never stop being one of the most beautiful motherfuckers the universe ever made.

I'd never imagine that the first time I'd encounter an in app purchase that outrageously expensive, would be on a wheelchair app.

F me, why do companies have to extort people like this! Glad you got it cracked in the end.

It's not a perfect solution but smart drive works really well for me. It's very customizable.
