[Travelandtourism] An app to find empty chairs, doors, and other objects

[Jana Jackson]

Hi, Emre!  This app sounds interesting!  Yes, blindness skills are crucial,
but like Jennifer says, there are some situations where it could be very
helpful!  I'm glad the IOS app is coming! :)  Take care!

Jana

Hey Jennifer,

Yes, we are planning to release the iOS version in the next couple of
months. Let me know if you would like to be invited earlier to beta testing.

Best,
