BlindSquare App Reviews

First, the English documentation is poorly organized, and obviously poorly translated from something else. Its hard to use given this quality of documentation. Next, the quality of the map data is rather poor; they use Open Street Map, but perhaps should have used freely available Google map data. Theres no way to submit any map data corrections. Its helpful, but hard to learn and hard to use.

This app is fantastic. Im a blind college freshman, and blind square helps me navigate the campus. My independent traveling has become much more reliable. lol

This app is very user-friendly if your blind and its very affordable. I would recommend it for anyone.

I love this app! Really helps me feel that I know where I am traveling. Makes me very aware of my surroundings.

BlindSquare is a good little app with great potential. I am looking forward to future updates. At the moment, I have to say, that there is one significant question: If I have got Around Me and can start a point-to-point navigation via Navigon out of the app, why do I need BlindSquare? - I think the app is perfect for newcomers to iOS devices as it combines Foursquare or Around Me and Ariadne GPS in one app. I like the idea and look forward to new features in coming updates. 1.) I would be happy about a point-to-point navigation and 2.) I would be happy if FourSquare was embnedded more than just with the check-in feature. Good work so far!

Well, indeed its one of the best navigation apps for visual impaired individuals Ive ever have seen. But I would suggest a more continuos process of adding new languages, E.G. german. The TTS engines are ready to run. I assume that the major problem is the needed translation of menus and prompts. Im ready to do that job around the german language if necessary.

For me as a blind user its a fantistic help

I think blind square is great I love it

This application provides a travel freedom for blind folks hitherto unknown in the total history of blindness. And its all provided by one person who before the developing blind Square had no experience with blind folks. This is truly amazing!

I have several navigational apps on my device,however this is by far my favourite. Great work guys!

Great app. The only problem Im having is when I go to switch to another language, the voice changes, but the text itself does not.

This app may be a tad pricy for those who are very careful spending money, but its worth every sent. Ive been using this app a lot lately, and Im finding it very useful as it helps me find places neer me Ive never knew about. I really like how you can hand off turn by turn to another app, and still keep BlindSquare running in the background while it tracks you on your route, and tells you about street information as you go. Id have given a fifth star if it had detailed intersection information that could be turned on for those like me who want it, and turned off for those that dont. Cant wait to see what comes in the future.

Great app only thing it doesnt do is indicate actual type of intersection. Eg 3 way, on your left etc

User interface is very straightforward. Looking forward to next version and added features. A bit pricey for what it appears to do as of now

This app is trying to be a better version of around meGPS, and my way However, it is doing none of them really well. This app reads to you in a non-voiceover voice locations nearby. It does a good job of using the foursquare database to find locations that are near you. However, the filtering, targeting, and other features are hard to get at. Especially, when the app is reading to you. Also, its integration with voiceover is poor. The volumes of voices can be different, they can be reading at the same time, and other problems come up. In short, the app is hard to use, uses an unnecessary voice, and is not doing what is been designed to do. We should wait and see what happens next but this is not worth $12 right now

Although the application isnt perfect I do believe the developers making every possible effort to make improvements based on user feedback. The application should be able to offer a lot of great information to individuals who are blind or visually impaired.

I have only good remarks about this app.After trying it out, I was amazed by its audible announcements of locations. It even detected some of the buildings on my college campus, which impressed me very much. Fantastic work!

If you use this with navigon or tomtom youve pretty much got yourself a fully accessible gps sollution for your IOS device. I kid you not! Gotta love the capability of multi-tasking. This is where it actually is critical to have.

When youre a blind traveler traveling with Cain or dog you need an application that does not present things in maps fashion this application seems to do that and it does it quite well I highly recommend this application because not only can my dog have a leg up on where Im going I can now have a leg up on where Im going to

this is the most frindly usable app. for a blind person to use. The developer has made over 15 inprovements in less then one year since the app. has came onto the marker. This app. also ties into other navigation apps., i.e. navigon, tomtom. so, you can also have navigational routs and all the Blind Square functions at the same time. I have used several apps. designed for blind and along with the apps. designed for sitted persons, and this app. is just awesome.
