[il-talk] Nearby explorer

[Leslie Hamric]

hi Melissa. I hope you have unlimited data because that app is a data hog. I personally think BlindSquare is a lot easier to use. Nearby explorer gives you more information, but I didn't really like it. I didn't like the layout of where things were or the fact that it's a data hog.
