[nabs-l] blindsquare vs seeing eye gps

[Justin Williams]

Yeah, I'd rather pay more for a streamlined experienced.  Some reliable
sources said that the Seeing eye gps was good, but I think the price is a
turn off because people say then can get two or three apps to do what it
does.

Hi, I hadn't really seen anyone speak up in favor of the Seeing Eye GPS app.
That kind of bums me out, because I was hoping someone could justify the
cost. Honestly, I feel like the only blind guy who missed the memo on the
wow factor with BlindSquare. I find the app more annoying than helpful and
fully confess this could be user idiocy.
Like, I just want the damn thing to tell me the next cross street. I would
like it to give some sort of audible indication when I'm pointing the phone
in the right direction of my intended destination as is true of apps like
WhereTo and Ariadne. As things stand, I get more information than I need,
and even after configuring the settings to what I think I want, I feel as
though the app picks and chooses when to actually be helpful. Again, this
could just be me being a moron, so if any current users have suggestions on
how to make the app more beneficial, I'd love to hear from you. The Seeing
Eye app seems more streamlined, but I hesitate to throw down seventy on what
I can currently accomplish with two apps. Still, I'm willing to be persuaded
if for no other reason than to keep things straighter in my navigation
needs.

Thanks in advance,

Joe
