BlindSquare for Positive User Reviews

This app is awesome.I think this app can beat other more expensive paid solutions out there. This is definitely the best blindness have navigation app on iOS. Definitely my favorite..Version: 1.69

Love this appThanks to this app; I no longer rely on others to tell me what's around me. I found more restaurants to eat at and businesses to shop at. Love it! Well worth $30.Version: 3.41

DartGreat app only thing it doesn't do is indicate actual type of intersection. Eg 3 way, on your left etc.Version: 3.00

Blind Square is a must have App for anyone with sight problems it works great with VoiceOverBlind Square is a MUST have App for blind or visually impaired people Works great with iPhone iPad VoiceOver.Version: 1.43

I used to dislike this app but love it now!I am revising my previous review which was more critical. As of the recent updates, I would highly recommend others who are visually impaired purchase and use this app for their travel needs. While this does not provide turn by turn type directions as of this writing, the location data, pedometer, and other useful features make it one of my most used apps. Also, the developer is very polite and responds promptly to any feedback..Version: 1.69

Best GPSThis is by far the best GPS system I've used it let's me know when I'm coming to an intersection so I know that some I just feel so much safer using this product I need love the simulation mode I love everything about it I definitely recommend it to everyone I am visually impaired and can travel without it I don't know what else to say but it's worth the money.Version: 1.42

I feel naked wihtout it :)At first i had to get used to this app but now lately i feel naked without it, i have it always on now every time we leave home . I have a single sided newbee earpiece over the ear and it talks to me every way i go its not distracting to me its a matter of getting used to . You dont want it too loud when you are with others but for a permanently blind person having a voice taklng in your ear where you are is very nice and i dont have to ask each time 'where are we now ??' I havent used it on my own walking tho only out with my sighed wife but like i said i would miss it if i dont have it with me :) mak, love the updates got 5g now i hope this will become more precise with the new technology. Also i have not tried the indoor bluetooth yet its nowhere around anchorage as far as i know. Ok thanks makkenai.Version: 5.34

Ipressive Life-changing App!This app is amazing. I bought it before moving back to Northwest Portland. I've been blind my entire life, and the one thing that often bugs me about cane travel is needing to keep the running mental narrative of what street I'm at. Everyone knows your mind wanders, you're thinking about something else, work, the kids, even just something you passed by. BlindTquare alleviates this problem. But, but, but, ... There's more! I moved back into a neighborhood I'd lived in before. But one thing about being blind, you miss a lot just generally running around. I was amazed at what I found just turning on a couple of options, and having it tell me what I passed. BlindSquare is a great addition to the iOS ecosystem, and I for one am really impressed! I haven't tried turn by turn because I grew up on these streets and so I know the place, and the addressing system, like the back of my hand. Yet even for it to tell me bus, streetcar and train stops is amazing! I haven't lived here since before we had access to iOS, and now it's as though Portland just got a brand-new look, all because of BlindSquare and the iPhone!.Version: 1.51

Very accurate and fun to useI have several navigational apps on my device,however this is by far my favourite. Great work guys!.Version: 2.48

This app is amazing. I cannot recommend it enough!Well, I been looking for a decent application for GPS navigation. I've had a lot of them, but this is the best one out there. Especially when you're on a city bus, and the automated announcement system is not working. This is CVS number of times. Will read out your intersections as your past. If you want, it will also read out the points of interest that you were passing. And of course you can specify the radius and what you want to search for interest. You and if you want to search for individual interest points, you can do that. All of this is supported. So, what more can you want? Perhaps turn by turn directions? Well, maybe this coming up in the new version. However, I can't say enough about this application. I highly recommend it..Version: 1.51

Great appBest gps app I've used. Walking it is most accurate.. Needs a little work on bus or by vehicle in my experience.Version: 1.45

Always interesting and innovativeVersion three ads in Door navigation via the Ibeacon system. I expect Rnib and Guide dogs will want to adopt this innovation for blind Square users in the UK as soon as possible. This is a great application for accessing GPS information on the move with your iPhone. It's just gets better and better with each release and is worth every penny of the asking price.Version: 3.00

Excellent App And SupportI have been planning to write a review on this app for quite some time now. From the very beginning, it has been and remains an excellent app which only gets better. Being that I'm still on IOS 5.1, I had a problem which resulted in the program crashing which I am pleased to report was patched by the Dev who was very responsive..Version: 1.52

Best Accessible GPS AppThis app may be a tad pricy for those who are very careful spending money, but it's worth every sent. I've been using this app a lot lately, and I'm finding it very useful as it helps me find places neer me I've 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. I'd 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 don't. Can't wait to see what comes in the future..Version: 2.49

I just love blind squareBlind square is my street companion. Always by my side, to tell me where I am and what is around me. I would say after losing my father, waits for 38 years used to be my BlindSquare, now at least in this aspect of my life, blind square is my father! 🙂.Version: 4.06

A must haveI'm completely blind and love this app works perfect here in Chicago even tells me exactly where the bus stops and train stations are at thank you for creating an app that has given me my independence back I don't know what I would do without BlindSquare..Version: 4.95

LifesaverThis app is fantastic. I'm a blind college freshman, and blind square helps me navigate the campus. My independent traveling has become much more reliable. lol.Version: 3.41

Best GPS program for blind peopleI had had it for A number of years and use It all the time. you have to pay once and use as long as you want. Most other Apps like this you have to pay every year. It helps me Get around everywhere and it is cheaper than most others.Version: 4.9955

I would switch back from Nearby ExplorerBlind Square was the first GPS app I started using it and love it. I am totally blind and would switch back to Blind Square if turn-by-turn guidance were added..Version: 4.988

Thankful for BlindSome Of the streets where I live have no curbs Or curb cuts. They are just flat. Blind Square always tells me when I'm coming up to one of these and keeps me safe. Only problem I have had with it ischattering, listing all of My Places, as I start walking, blocking out trabbffic sounds. A Thankful 4 rating from meffstar.Version: 4.9960

DDoblerA very helpful and wonderful application. It works very well and helps me navigate wherever I need to go. As a blind user, it is really a wonderful help. Keep the good work up. A wonderful tool. Very much appreciated. Thank you for all the hard work and love and care you put into this app..Version: 1.60

Still my first go to app when figuring out where I am and what's around me.Even though the GPS is not great in my area, this is the first app I open when I get turned around in my town or need to know which train stop I am coming up to. I also used this app extensively to mark my tent and other landmarks on camping trips. This app gave me the option of being far more independent while camping. This is also the best app for identifying both the walking paths and parks along side the cafes and businesses that dot my town. I have 2 complaints. 1 The bluetooth connectivity warning should not open every time that I open the app. Once is enough. 2. The Tracking a location using the clock face or cardinal coordinates takes a lot of practice and concentration. It was very cool once I figured it out..Version: 4.93

The GPS that makes it easierWhen you're 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 I'm going I can now have a leg up on where I'm going to.Version: 1.41

You have to try this app, it's awesome!I even recommend it to those who can see and want to get a layout of their surroundings while driving or multitasking. I love using this app when I'm in a taxi or with someone else. Try it, it has great features for those who can't see or are really lazy..Version: 2.22

Alan RobbinsThis is an excellent GPS program for the blind. It is great for walking as well as finding out what types of services are available near you. There is an email user group that provides excellent support and technical assistance, including from the developer himself. What I find most impressive, is the responsiveness of the developer to questions, comments, and general needs of the blind population. I heartily endorse this product..Version: 1.42

Blind furyFantastic!!!! its almost a luxury for a blind person to know the name and rough distance to the next intersection and some pois. I have yet to try it in an unfamiliar environment however, its performed well testing it randomly in surroundings i already know. Just put your phone in your pocket and walk round the block. I must stress, it cannot replace mobility aids, nevertheless, Blindsquare has much potential. Other features include, a look around button giving direction of road crossing or poi, shake to give current location and a very handy radius adjuster which gives more info if distance around you is increased. I havnt discovered its full capability as i have only had it a few days. It gets full marks for being so reasonably priced as usually anything that is This good and so vital for the blind costs the earth..Version: 1.17

FantasticUse this app every day I go to work and can now feel confident I get off the right bus stop independently. Developer is also dedicated so thank you very much for developing this wonderful app!.Version: 1.63

This app works extremely wellBlindsquare provides invaluable information to anyone who is blind and wants to travel independently..Version: 1.63

In my view, the very best app in it's classI first downloaded this in 2012 and used it somewhat, but found that it was clunky and to me, uncoordinated. It took a while of listening to demos and learning it's menu structure to come to the conclusion that it wasn't BlindSquare's fault, it was mine. Once I understood the layout and how everything all fit together like a puzzle, I basically stopped using any other GPS app and have used BlindSquare extensively ever since. Some apps update with what you'd think would be useful changes, but add nothing but bloat, BlindSquare isn't one of these thankfully. With every iteration of the app, the features and functions only improve, not get needlessly complex and useless..Version: 2.01

Wonderful GPS AppThis is propably the best GPS app for the blind I have seen. I can't tell you how many times this app in conjuncion with Google Maps has gotten me out of tough situations with bus and cab drivers not knowing where they are going to my apartment what not. This app did much better then the piece of crap tomtom gps they were ising ahahah. Thank you so much and keep up the good work..Version: 1.63

Blind ChickThis program is awesome! I was surprised to find venues for restaurants where they are available. I found this true even for a restaurant that I had had trouble getting it in an accessible for. Also, it is very easy-to-use to find busstops because each intersection is announced. Also, it connects well with my GPS which gives turn by turn announcements by sending it coordinates..Version: 1.42

Blind Square ReviewGreat app. The only problem I'm having is when I go to switch to another language, the voice changes, but the text itself does not..Version: 2.48

I's awesome!If you use this with navigon or tomtom you've 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..Version: 1.31

Great appI’ve been using this app for years, but recently I’ve discovered other apps which can tell me on what side of the street an upcoming street is on. For instance, 350 ft. E. 1st Street right side, W. 1st St. left side or something like that. I would love to see this in Blind Square. Browsing the reviews I see others asking for this as well, so it would be quite a welcome feature. Thank you..Version: 5.18

Blindsquare rocksThis application provides a travel freedom for blind folks hitherto unknown in the total history of blindness. And it's all provided by one person who before the developing blind Square had no experience with blind folks. This is truly amazing!.Version: 2.01

Simply worth every pennyUnusually, this access tech is worth every penny. Not just your usual knock the customer up in the air because its niche. I often get sent to locations that are unknown to me as part of my job but Blindsquare works well with your guide dog or other mobility aid. It delivers you to the door of wherever you choose with breathtaking accuracy. My own experience is that it genuinely does deliver you to within 5 m of your destination and on the correct side - left or right. Download this-you will not be disappointed - but to the developers, please don't make the mistake of hiking the price at any point in the future :).Version: 2.49

Support for UAe is neededThe app is great and it does almost what I want, but I'm hoping to see better support for indoor navigation places in Dubai as it's currently inaccurate..Version: 4.982

The BestThis app continues to be the best blind GPS app for iOS. It seriously keeps getting better. My only criticism is the organization is too compacted, and can be fairly confusing to new converts. I hear this has already been taken to heart and will be fixed in later releases. Still, an absolute must have for those with a visual disability..Version: 1.64

I love it so muchIt's my favorite navigation app. developers always improving the ap dramatically. Thank you so much for the great efferts..Version: 1.52

Awesome appThe app is pretty good overall. But you have a couple bugs to figure out. Like you should update on your locations. And when you’re coming to a corner it should say what two streets you’re at. And the accuracy should be a little bit better than 16 feet..Version: 5.41

Perfect appI purchased this application about a year ago. This app is wonderful in terms of navigation. However, this app does not provide navigation like other GPS such as Apple Maps. Though it is extremely helpful navigation.Version: 4.54

It's a whole new dimension to travelingThis app adds a whole new dimension to traveling. They also have excellent and timely tech-support. Larry.Version: 3.1

BlindSquareBlindSquare is not only a powerful navigational tool that is fully nonvisually accessible, it is a platform that allows optimal user control over the content, effectively placing the blind user in the driver's seat. Its great for tinckerers, if the imagination can go there, the developers want to know about it so they can take it there. Its also great for the minimalist; "just tell me where I am and where I'm going and I'm good to go. ".Version: 2.49

Simulate Location is invaluableI've used BlindSquare for around a year. I'm getting better and better at using Simulate Location and My Places to build my mental map of intersections and points of interest where I plan to be. While I'm walking or riding, I mostly use my Braille Sense with app sounds turned off, iPhone muted, and volumes set to 0. I find BlindSquare very difficult to use in this fashion, so Ariadne GPS is my main "where am I?" app, and I love exporting places from BlindSquare to Ariadne GPS. In other GPS apps, I can make the braille display tolerably stable while I'm moving, but, in BlindSquare, I have a hard time reading and navigating the screen (using my Braille Sense) unless my GPS location is stable. At some point, I'll get into the place check-in feature, but I'm still mounting the smartphone mentality learning curve..Version: 2.49

Awesome appI love this app! Really helps me feel that I know where I am traveling. Makes me very aware of my surroundings..Version: 3.41

Fantastic app, but with some anomalies?I have had this app a few years and I use it exclusively for bus travel. Don’t need it for trains, only if the stop announcement automation is not working then I will employ blind Square. It is fantastic on buses because it opens up an horizon of information I’ve never had access to before. Even on very Familia roots. It gives you everything from pubs, restaurants to businesses. It reads out every junction which it never did before which is very helpful when judging my bus stop distance However, I hear references to searching bus stops as a landmark and I don’t know how to do that. Any help would be appreciated. i’ve never used it for walking a route maybe I will try that. I also do not understand the simulation function I’ve tried it and all I get is extraneous traffic noise please explain what the benefit of this is?.Version: 4.78

Blind SquareThis is the best GPS app for blind and visually impaired persons. The cost is more than reasonable given the number and variety of features available to blind travelers..Version: 2.42

BlindSquare amazing.I think this app is fantastic and most definitely worth the £20 cost. I know there are other apps available which are free of charge, but if you can afford the £20 then get this one. Being able to set favourite locations is brilliant and also knowing where you are when travelling on buses. I have also found a couple of really nice restaurants that I didn’t even know existed just by playing with the app whilst sat down having a coffee..Version: 4.72

Awesome App!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..Version: 1.42

ExcellentIt Works better than ever now..Version: 4.995

SuperbThis app will give you lots of information of how to get to where you want to go whether it be by Transit or some other method it is very versatile very easy to use and a pleasure dear.Version: 4.74

ExcellentGreat. Does exactly what it says it will do. Fully accessible. Easy to use and integrates well into other navigation systems. Give you a good sense of what's around you and guide to you to a destination using the clockface. Clearly is a mainstream application as well. Might do with either another version or renaming the product. Fantastic! Make it more attractive to people who are not blind and I think it's a real winner..Version: 1.17

BlindSquareI use it every day traveling & found it so useful keep up your great work.Version: 4.66

Great App, But Needs ImprovementI'vb used this app since 2013 and I love it. The biggest problem I've run into is that it reports inaccurate addresses and street names when I make turns. The only correct information it reports for a time is the direction I'm going, and that's how I know what street I'm on. Like someone said in another review, you have to have familiarity with where you are or you'll be totally confused. I live in the San Fernando Valley in the Los Angeles area..Version: 4.982

Love this appThis app really helps you get around. I love that it tells you where everything is and where it's located. Also it has different voices from which to choose from and different languages as well. I certainly give this app an A+. It is worth every penny I paid for..Version: 1.69

Would literally be lost without this.Fantastic app! I use this all the time. Would highly recommend it..Version: 4.01

Awesome app!I really enjoy using this app. It has enabled me to become more independent. I use this app simultaneously with Google maps for the turn by turn directions and it is very helpful. I prefer BlindSquare for the look around information compared to Seeing Eye GPS. If you can implement intersection analysis that would makeBlindSquare eveven better..Version: 3.41

This app deserves all five stars.I absolutely love this app. I would give it 10 stars if I could do so. This app helps me every day, and I want to see more continuous work being done to make it even better than it is now. Thank you for such a wonderful app..Version: 3.41

I finally got this app.I bought this app yesterday, and I cannot feel happier. I really wanted to enhance my navigation skills and this app is feature rich. I am glad that this app is updated frequently, and I hope that it won't discontinue like Soundscape, because it was the closest comparison from this app. again, thank you..Version: 5.47

Best navigation app for the visually impaired.While this is not a turn by turn GPS solution, but it does offer is some of the best features for situational awareness. Most people already know those main routes that one takes, however this app helps fills in the blanks when learning about your environment..Version: 1.45

Great for bus travelThis app works really well for bus travel. The buses don't talk where I live, and it's easy to lose track of intersections as you pass them..Version: 2.27

Great first 1.0 applicationAlthough the application isn't 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..Version: 1.12

Best app to use for navigationI am so looking forward to be able to use this app for indoor navigation I’m currently using Planet Fitness and it would be awesome to know where all the different equipment is more easily than the way I have to do it now.Version: 4.61

I like it more than any GPS appThank you very much from the bottom of my beating heart: this app makes me more social, now I can do anything by myself, I can go whatever I want to go, I don't need to call my friends and asking them about the directions, really it's very very very important for every blind in this world, specially with supporting different languages ☺️👍👍.Version: 2.42
