MapATag was a mobile gamified app for adding accessibility tags. It is no longer online.

It was created by Wheelmap back in 2012 (mentioned in WeeklyOSM summary #47), and was an example of Gamification of OpenStreetMap editing.

It gets a mention in a paper "Lin, W. (2014). Revealing the making of OpenStreetMap: A limited account. The Canadian Geographer / Le Géographe Canadien, 59(1), 69–81. doi:10.1111/cag.12137" sci-hub.ru/10.1111/cag.12137 : "In MapATag, users may add a tag or edit an existing tag of a particular place and assess its wheelchair accessibility. Users earn points and badges"
