Market still delivers too few applications that would assist people with disabilities in the hardships of daily commuting in the urban space. An additional challenge is also to find solutions in a range of existing applications. Existing solutions, in turn, are often still far from perfect, both in terms of available features and size possessing the database. The most common defects are: instability of offered applications, too small font that cannot be enlarged, the lack of both control and voice messages issued by applications, the inability of planning routes or track changes in real time (eg. traffic, weather conditions, technical difficulties, etc.), small number of users involved in creating applications, the lack of Polish language in the application, or even the availability of applications on particular platform on mobile devices. Because of the multitude of not-quite perfection of existing applications and the constantly growing demand for such services, the authors of this article conducted a preliminary analysis of mobile applications for people with disabilities of the locomotor system, in an attempt to define the basic requirements to create a certain standard. The article is also an introduction to the study of designing applications on the mobile for a provincial city in Poland.
