Yes, I think they do they just take their time. These are more than likely minor fixes and would not take much to fix them. I just woulnder if the sited is having the same problems with not being able to quit the route ? It might not be just a Vo thing and if this is the case a fix will come really soon as their sited consumers will be complaining as well. I just think the blind community really get to upset at times and just not enough pation with things. JST !

This is an interesting discussion. I will see what happens on my 4S when I actively follow a route. Meanwhile, when playing with this yesterday, my initial impression was that I could easily get to all the settings and plan routes. I even had access to GPS data which was invisible previously. The two negatives were that marking one's position as a POI was possible exclusively when a route is active, and the only way I found to quit a route is to close the app (either via long presses of the power and home keys or the app switcher) and restart. I found the turn by turn list once, but was unable to do so a second time. Right now I'm inclined to write that off to a learning curve issue related to adjustment to the new interface since I was able to get to it once. When I venture out later I will have Navigon follow the route to see if the response time and crashes might be related to a failure to test on older hardware. I tend to believe that Navigon may be receptive to feedback, since they did restore voice announcements to pedestrian mode last year. Best regards.

The impression I get Bryan is that they don't care. In my dealings with them, I have never found them responsive in the lease. Out of curiosity, what (if any) alternative app are you using?
