app trials before you buy
Hi. I figured I'd start a new thread since this concerns the ability or inability of app developers to offer trials for their apps. It's not specific to the Sendero Seeing Eye app, although those discussions were the catalyst for this message. I've seen some people ask why the Sendero app can't offer a short trial, 1 day, 1 week, 30 days, ETC. Some have answered that it's an Apple restrictions, while others have said it's up to the developer. Let me say that I am not a developer or an Apple employee. So, what I say is purely based on my own personal experience. I think that if Sendero wanted to offer a trial for a short time, they could do it. Note that I'm speaking of the technical ability, not a business decision, or the taking into account of overhead. The reason for this is because if you download an app from the app store and let's say the app itself is free, you are then presented with options of a subscription. This could be a monthly subscription, a yearly one, or a daily one. So, I believe that as long as your app is obtainable and you have written it in such a way that you can offer these in-app purchases, then you are good to go. I do not know what all is involved with paying Apple for this type of subscription, or if this is a way that some developers get around Apple's restrictions. I'll give some examples below. 1. Book apps. Apps like Nook and Audible don't have actual in-app purchase capabilities, but if you buy your book on their own site, the app downloads the book and you can read. If Sendero did something similar, you could get the free app like you do now, then you would purchase your subscription from Sendero's web site itself. This way Sendero would have total control over what kind of subscription might be offered. This doesn't seem like the best solution because when you buy a book, you download and it's yours to read as many times as you can, the book doesn't actually expire and go back to the site. 2. Phone apps. An app like Talkatone is free with ads. If you want to get rid of ads, you can do so by in-app purchases. Guess what though, the ads don't go away forever. No sir they don't. You purchase no ads for a monthly subscription or a yearly subscription. This also gives you higher quality calls and this way the company has control over what they offer you and for how long. If Sender did something like this, and I imagine they are, then they control for how long your device and/or Apple ID have access to the products the app offers. 1, day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, ETC. 3. Separate app purchases. This is a bit older now and not as widely used from what I know. This is where you purchase a lite or crippled version of the app which is separate than the actual paid version. So, you might get a free app with ads, and then if you want the non-ad version, or the non-crippled version, you purchase a separate app which actually costs you money at the app store. I can see why things like this are going away. It makes it so the developer has to maintain more than one app, and it also fixes the price with the app store when you purchase the paid app. If Sendero did this, the free version might be good for some, but then they would have to have 2 other separate apps, one for the year and one for the 3 year. It's also possible that technically this is hard to maintain or keep track of. So after all this, it seems that my option 2 is the way they are going. Like I said, I don't know the business model, or the costs of overhead in offering a short trial for purchase, but if they could do that, perhaps some people who are on the fence on whether to get this or not, might slide in the right direction. I know I said this could apply to many different kinds of apps and ended up talking about Sendero specifically, but this same reasoning applies to many other apps and services. Dice World is one such app. It's free and you then can purchase no-ads or custom dice as in-app purchases. So, I hope this helps some of you when thinking about why the Sendero app offers or doesn't offer a demo. I'm not on the GPS list, but if someone wants to forward this to them, they are more than welcome. I know many of the Sendero folks there, and have a lot of respect for them. Cheers. -- Raul A.

Re: app trials before you buy
Hi Raul, I think you are right on this one. Sendero reps certainly are aware of the request for a trial and I have seen nothing on the beta list I'm on suggesting that it cannot occur. People may have to vote on this as they plan to offer an upgrade with three enhancements/features. If this is the way they plan to proceed and they come out with a feature list as I suspect they will, I'll bet a trial version will be one of the features requested. This is speculation on my part, but I'm guessing they will do a one month trial for somewhere between $5 and $8, but of course, that could all change. Les On Jul 4, 2013, at 2:22 AM, Raul A.

Re: mousekick help please
Hallo Zoe, okay, then the orientation is not the problem. On which device do you play MouseKick? If the three-finger swipe to the left doesn't work at all, there is a workaround to leave the training mode: There is, indeed, a back button on the screen in the lower left corner of the screen. However, you cannot reach it with VoiceOver, since I want to save a blind user from accidentally hitting it. The finger swipe should provide the same functionality. If you turn VoiceOver off, you can tap the button and leave the training mode. The same button also appears in a real game. However, we have to find out, why the swipe gesture doesn't work, since this is the preferred way to quit a game. Greetings Jan --- MouseKick - The mice are coming!

RE: Apple Maps vs. Seeing Eye
Does this mean that you will be using data when you use this program as you do with apple maps? Thanks, Lois From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Robert Fenton Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2013 9:36 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Apple Maps vs. Seeing Eye To alleviate your concerns somewhat, the maps in the Seeing I app are not stored on your phone at all. They are stored in the cloud so presumably they are updated regularly on the servers themselves. Thus, you don't have the same problem that you have with other conventional GPS applications of having to download map updates to your phone. I hope this helps.

Sendero's i-phone gps app
Hi all, Below message might e interest for some of you. Regards Joanne (AU) From: Greg Kearney Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2013 08:44:18 +0800 Subject: Sendero's i-phone gps app I downloaded this app by tricking my phone into thinking it was in the U.S. and that I could buy things from the U.S. app store. I have serious issues with the way this app is being marketed which I feel is deceptive and amounts to a bait and switch. These concerns have nothing to do with the fact that the app does not support navigation outside of North America, which is why it is at the moment only offered in the U.S. app store. My issue come from the fact that the app is promoted as a free download, which in fact it is. What the developer fail to tell you is that while you can download the app for free the app will be useless to you unless you buy the subscription for $70 a year. So, in fact, the app is not free at all and unlike other GPS solutions the app will cost you money each year to keep it running. Should the company go out of business the app becomes worthless. Also you are going to be at the mercy of the company as far as pricing goes. Once you have this app you will need to continue to pay each year for the ability to use it. While other apps do use the idea of in app buy in those app do as a rule offer some, all be it limited, functions in the free version. This is not the case here. The other issue that the app is completely dependent on data from the internet and so unlike many GSP applications will require that you have a data connection on your phone at all times. If you attempt to use this app outside of areas with data service the app will simply stop working. This would pose a real issue in regional, rural and outback Australia where data and sometimes even phone coverage is not available. Not only will you be paying the $70 a year but you will be using up your phone data demands as well. Given these fact I think that we would do well to remember the maxim: caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.

RE: Unzipping on the iPhone and default email accounts.
Hi, I have used PhoneDrive, but not the other one. PhoneDrive is accessible, but if you have several files in a list you have to flick through each one, If you touch a file or do a scroll by page command PhoneDrive goes in to edit mode, which is quite annoying. Personally I like Downloads, which is fully accessible, even the scroll bar that you can use to move through an open document. There is a free version which lets you download no more than 6 files from the internet. You can send as many documents as you want to it via Wi-Fi though. The paid version is only a couple of dollars and is well worth purchasing. Try the free version and see if it meets your needs first. If it does, I recommend purchasing and supporting the author.

Re: Can You Set Manual Routes With Sendero Groups?
Hi Sieghard, I wonder if you can help re this, My Way Light: I fired it up last night and took a stroll around the house, putting in markers. I should explain that we have enough land here to mark places, sometimes at a distance of, say, 100 yards. I marked gates, steps, back doors etc. However, the clock directions seemed to be diametrically opposite to the reality. So, if it said 3-O-Clock it was infact at 9. This was so much so, that I thought, perhaps I am imagining this virtual clock from a wrong perspective? I assume, being new to the notion of using clock references, that I am in the centre of the clock face? What ever I am doing wrong, it makes this app useless for me, but I would love to get it right.

I believe the restrictions have to do with importing/sharing stuff etc. I do sometimes wish developers were more descriptive with their light versions since often the description of a paid and Light app are the same and the limitations are not explained well.

Bluetooth Headset Recommendation
Hi All, I am looking into getting a bluetooth headset. I have checked out several online reviews, but wanted to get some feedback from my BVI friends and users. My criteria in order of priority include: 1) Audio quality that’s coupled with stuff like noise-cancellation and excellent signal reception are of paramount importance. The person on the other end of the line has to hear me loud and clear no matter what kind of an environment I am in. 2) Comfort and ergonomic fit as I will be wearing about 12 hours per day. 3) Maximize talk time and music/podcast streaming time. 4) Voice and/or signal prompts control. 5) Multiple pairing.

Re: app trials before you buy
The other reason developers love to use in-app purchases is because they are near to impossible to crack. When a certain site was alive, people couldn't even get around the in-app purchase and offer their purchases for free, so developers want to take advantage of that and keep software piracy to a minimum. And I cannot blame them for that either; Sendero are not a huge corporation like Freedom Scientific so they cannot afford to lose money due to piracy. Also, Apple will not allow time-based use for apps submitted to the app store. As well as that, Apple take a 3rd of each sale made via the app store. They will not allow developers to link to an external website where they can purchase apps, for that same reason that they cannot prophet from app sales. Remember, you are not paying the full price to Sendero for their subscriptions; you are paying 2 thirds of that money to them and a third goes to Apple. (Thanks Jonathan for clarifying.) -Shaf On 7/4/13, Les Kriegler kriegle...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Raul, I think you are right on this one. Sendero reps certainly are aware of the request for a trial and I have seen nothing on the beta list I'm on suggesting that it cannot occur. People may have to vote on this as they plan to offer an upgrade with three enhancements/features. If this is the way they plan to proceed and they come out with a feature list as I suspect they will, I'll bet a trial version will be one of the features requested. This is speculation on my part, but I'm guessing they will do a one month trial for somewhere between $5 and $8, but of course, that could all change. Les On Jul 4, 2013, at 2:22 AM, Raul A. Gallegos r...@raulgallegos.com wrote: Hi. I figured I'd start a new thread since this concerns the ability or inability of app developers to offer trials for their apps. It's not specific to the Sendero Seeing Eye app, although those discussions were the catalyst for this message. I've seen some people ask why the Sendero app can't offer a short trial, 1 day, 1 week, 30 days, ETC. Some have answered that it's an Apple restrictions, while others have said it's up to the developer. Let me say that I am not a developer or an Apple employee. So, what I say is purely based on my own personal experience. I think that if Sendero wanted to offer a trial for a short time, they could do it. Note that I'm speaking of the technical ability, not a business decision, or the taking into account of overhead. The reason for this is because if you download an app from the app store and let's say the app itself is free, you are then presented with options of a subscription. This could be a monthly subscription, a yearly one, or a daily one. So, I believe that as long as your app is obtainable and you have written it in such a way that you can offer these in-app purchases, then you are good to go. I do not know what all is involved with paying Apple for this type of subscription, or if this is a way that some developers get around Apple's restrictions. I'll give some examples below. 1. Book apps. Apps like Nook and Audible don't have actual in-app purchase capabilities, but if you buy your book on their own site, the app downloads the book and you can read. If Sendero did something similar, you could get the free app like you do now, then you would purchase your subscription from Sendero's web site itself. This way Sendero would have total control over what kind of subscription might be offered. This doesn't seem like the best solution because when you buy a book, you download and it's yours to read as many times as you can, the book doesn't actually expire and go back to the site. 2. Phone apps. An app like Talkatone is free with ads. If you want to get rid of ads, you can do so by in-app purchases. Guess what though, the ads don't go away forever. No sir they don't. You purchase no ads for a monthly subscription or a yearly subscription. This also gives you higher quality calls and this way the company has control over what they offer you and for how long. If Sender did something like this, and I imagine they are, then they control for how long your device and/or Apple ID have access to the products the app offers. 1, day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, 3 years, ETC. 3. Separate app purchases. This is a bit older now and not as widely used from what I know. This is where you purchase a lite or crippled version of the app which is separate than the actual paid version. So, you might get a free app with ads, and then if you want the non-ad version, or the non-crippled version, you purchase a separate app which actually costs you money at the app store. I can see why things like this are going away. It makes it so the developer has to maintain more than one app, and it also fixes the price with the app store when you purchase the paid app. If Sendero did this, the free version might be good for some, but then they would have to have 2

Australian English
Hi Everyone, I am thinking about changing my Voice Over voice to Australian English because she doesn't sound like she's angry with you like Samantha does. I can select Australian English in the language rotor but it uses the compact voice. I believe that, in order to download the high quality voice, I will have to change it in the language settings (under settings general international language) rather than in the Voice Over language rotor. However, Australian English is not listed in the language options. I know that it has to be possible because I have heard podcasts in which Australian English was used with Voice Over. What am I missing? Thanks, Scott Duck -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

Re: voice dream or read 2 go?

Hi, If you ever read Bookshare files with a braille display, Read2Go is a better option because you can read a whole section, such as a chapter, of a book continuously, while with Voice Dream Reader, you have to switch screens manually every few lines. The last time I tried this, the last line from the previous screen appeared at the top of the next one, making reading braille even more annoying. Also, if you ever want to use audio-only DAISY books or DAISY books with text and audio, you'll need Read2Go to hear the audio.

Re: A way of signing electronically, perhaps?
One of the first things I noticed in reading the details in the app store is the phrase: Offers in app purchases so I think you will find that it is not free in the long run.

Re: Action games for iOS devices
I have this same problem with STB chrome. The problem seems to come and go without any reason. I have been able to just work around the game. After rolling the dice when you go through the boxes and VO announces the boxes as being labled as T1, T2, T3 etc this is the same as when VO will announce the boxes as properly labeled 1-9. So in my observation of playing the game on a daily basis and the game responding differently with VO with any game play on any given day I can say that this is a flaw in the game itself. You could try clearing the game from the app switcher before opening the game to play. This helps sometimes but isn't a cure all fix. Happy rolling!

Re: Action games for iOS devices
There was an update to this game not long ago. I haven't played it in awhile. So when I read the trouble others are having, I decided to try mine. What ever they did, the game went from accessible to not accessible. To bad too because it was one of those games that seems to be pretty simple. It is until you try it. Then you find yourself saying things like ok one more time! Sorry friends but it was accessible. I'm disappointed that now it isn't. - Original Message - From: Donna To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 04, 2013 7:15 AM Subject: Re: Action games for iOS devices I have this same problem with STB chrome. The problem seems to come and go without any reason. I have been able to just work around the game. After rolling the dice when you go through the boxes and VO announces the boxes as being labled as T1, T2, T3 etc this is the same as when VO will announce the boxes as properly labeled 1-9. So in my observation of playing the game on a daily basis and the game responding differently with VO with any game play on any given day I can say that this is a flaw in the game itself. You could try clearing the game from the app switcher before opening the game to play. This helps sometimes but isn't a cure all fix. Happy rolling!

Re: Tagging
Jim, yes, it is very possible to tag people with the facebook app. When you want to tag, flick right, out of the text field where you are writing your post. you will see several options, one of which is choose friends. Double tap this and your friends list will appear. once you find the friend you want to tag, double tap their name. if you want to tag multiple people, continue double tapping on names in the list. When you are finished with selecting your friends, there is a done button near the top of the list, double tap this and you will be taken back to the text field where you were writing. hth, Stacy Sent from my iPhone On Jul 4, 2013, at 10:11 AM, Jim Portillo portillo@gmail.com wrote: Hi there, Could someone tell me if it's possible to tag people using the IPhone facebook app?

When you first open TapTapSee a Privacy Notice pops up that needs to be accepted for you to use the app. Once it's accepted you're taken into the app, which consists of a camera and four buttons at the top of the screen - Repeat, Library, Share and About. To take a picture simply double tap on the screen and wait for the identification to come back to you. This will take seven to 10 seconds, depending on your network connection. The image gets sent out to our server where it is processed and then given a tag that is sent back to the user's device. The VoiceOver in the device speaks the identification back to the user. TapTapSee also includes the following four features: The Repeat button was developed in case the identification was missed by the user on the initial response. The Library button allows the user to access the device's Camera Roll in order to send images to TapTapSee for identification. To access this feature simply click on the Library Button and then proceed to select an image that you want to have identified from the Camera Roll (Note: If access to the Camera Roll is denied then the Privacy Settings must be changed on the device).

Re: Seeing Eye GPS Demo/trial Mode
The key difference I see with the Seeing Eye app than other navigation apps, is that it announces the Intersections and gives descriptions of them. This is very useful in learning the neighborhood. Another thing we must remember, is that this is version 1.0. Sendero is very good at listening to users feedback, and responding to it. I am looking forward to the features of the more advanced versions. Chuck (mobile) Pleez x cuze enny tie ping or spelin air ores.

The Kindle app, Flexy, and several others are good examples of my point. At the same time however I would not spend $70 for an app which I can't test in advance.

Apple or not Apple, 1.0 apps are not mature, and they never have the same feature set as more mature apps. This app does things no other gps app on ios does. If its feature set plus the history of the Sendero group's commitment to gps for the blind isn't enough to give you confidence to buy a subscription, that is certainly your right. But this has nothing whatsoever to do with anything special to Apple and making excuses. If you've been using screen readers, you know how many years it takes for one of those to become mature.

Re: Can You Set Manual Routes With Sendero Groups?
I would definitely love to hear everyone's feedback, as I have downloaded the lite version of this app. It occurred to me that I could use this to find important places within my apartment complex i.e. the trash bin; the laundry room, the mailbox, etc.--seeing I'm pretty new here. I also had the clock issues that Sandra pointed out. Please shed light on what I'm doing wrong. I have the phone in front of me with the home button toward me. Thank you!

Re: Can You Set Manual Routes With Sendero Groups?
It sounds like you are holding the phone correctly. Imagine yourself in the center of the clock face. Twelve o'clock should be straight in front of you. Six o'clock should be directly behind, etc. I use this app all the time, mainly I use it to locate our car in parking lots, and do not have this problem.

Re: Sendero's i-phone gps app
I'm not sure everything in the attached message is correct. For example, I'm not sure where Seeing Eye is marketing this as a free application. On their web site at http://www.senderogroup.com/products/shopseeingeyegps.htm it says Can I try the app before purchasing? A trial version is not currently available. It is available for a 1 year subscription for $69 or a 3 year subscription for $129. Also, I don't think it's true that most GPS systems do not require a data connection. Other than Navigon and maybe TomTom, all of the GPS apps I can think of (Apple, Google, MapQuest, Motion X GPS) all require a data connection, so the Seeing Eye app is no different than these apps in that respect. True you might be out of luck if Seeing Eye goes out of business, but this is true for any company, and it's not clear to me that the service would automatically stop working. I was under the impression that the map data was coming from another source. Sure, you wouldn't be able to sign up again if Seeing Eye went out of business, but I'm not sure you wouldn't get your full subscriptions worth. Besides, this is no different than any other product using this model. I don't have a problem with someone not liking the app or how it's being marketed or sold, but I think it's a disservice to misconstrue the facts to make a point.

Regards Joanne (AU) From: Greg Kearney Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2013 08:44:18 +0800 Subject: Sendero's i-phone gps app I downloaded this app by tricking my phone into thinking it was in the U.S. and that I could buy things from the U.S. app store. I have serious issues with the way this app is being marketed which I feel is deceptive and amounts to a bait and switch. These concerns have nothing to do with the fact that the app does not support navigation outside of North America, which is why it is at the moment only offered in the U.S. app store. My issue come from the fact that the app is promoted as a free download, which in fact it is. What the developer fail to tell you is that while you can download the app for free the app will be useless to you unless you buy the subscription for $70 a year. So, in fact, the app is not free at all and unlike other GPS solutions the app will cost you money each year to keep it running. Should the company go out of business the app becomes worthless. Also you are going to be at the mercy of the company as far as pricing goes. Once you have this app you will need to continue to pay each year for the ability to use it. While other apps do use the idea of in app buy in those app do as a rule offer some, all be it limited, functions in the free version. This is not the case here. The other issue that the app is completely dependent on data from the internet and so unlike many GSP applications will require that you have a data connection on your phone at all times. If you attempt to use this app outside of areas with data service the app will simply stop working. This would pose a real issue in regional, rural and outback Australia where data and sometimes even phone coverage is not available. Not only will you be paying the $70 a year but you will be using up your phone data demands as well. Given these fact I think that we would do well to remember the maxim: caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.

Re: Action games for iOS devices
Thank you, Donna! I guess it's better to renounce for the moment. Alan, please, don't apologize... The programer of the game should do it, instead... Mario. At 16.15 04/07/2013, you wrote: I have this same problem with STB chrome. The problem seems to come and go without any reason. I have been able to just work around the game. After rolling the dice when you go through the boxes and VO announces the boxes as being labled as T1, T2, T3 etc this is the same as when VO will announce the boxes as properly labeled 1-9. So in my observation of playing the game on a daily basis and the game responding differently with VO with any game play on any given day I can say that this is a flaw in the game itself. You could try clearing the game from the app switcher before opening the game to play. This helps sometimes but isn't a cure all fix. Happy rolling!

Re: how to find the Sendero Seeing Eye GPS app?
I'm not sure what message or thread you're replying to, but two things. First, there are ways a trial could be offered, and I think they've already been described on this list. They could offer a lite version, although I don't know how they'd cripple it to show off the features and yet still encourage people to pay for the full version. They could also offer a subscription for a few days or weeks instead of one year. They could use the same mechanism they have now for people to buy the one or three year subscription. Second, someone made the point on this list that offering a free trial would be stupid for Seeing Eye and would end up being a waste of money. This is a very different point than the fact that it may not be allowable within Apple's terms and conditions.

Re: Tagging
Tagging someone at a location or in a picture will let them know, and maybe there friends, that they're at the location or in the picture. If you're somewhere with a group of friends, you may want to let your friends who couldn't make it know what they're missing out. If you put up a picture from a trip or a party, you may want to tag others in the picture so that they'll now know they have pictures with them in it on the web. Facebook has some good information on line regarding tagging, why you would do it, how you would do it and addressing any security issues anyone may have about tagging.

Re: stb chrome
No, when I tried the initial labeling works. Once the game is closed, for some reason the labeling of the boxes disappears. The way that VO announces the labeling of the boxes can be worked around. One either has to count each time VO says button or know that when VO says mechanical clock T1, mechanical clock T2 etc this is the way VO is announcing the label for each of the boxes. When VO says.dimmed this means that this number box has already been selected and played in the current game play. Yes all of this is a pain, but worth it for the agame play ability.

Re: stb chrome
Oh and I want to add that after I relabeled the buttons, I did remember to save the labels.

rebuying text grabber translator
Hi all, here's a doozy for you all. Most of you probably know I bought an app that I wasn't happy with, and iTunes refunded me for the bad app. Here's where the problem comes in, they made a mistake and refunded me the 99 cents that I paid for the abbyy text grabber translator. I told them I'm happy with that app and that I don't want a refund for that one. Basically they told me sorry for the misunderstanding but the refund has all ready gone through, and now you need to rebuy the app because you won't be eligible for the updates. I uninstalled the app from my iPhone 4s and tried installing it again but it doesn't ask me for money it just installs it self again. Any ideas? What should I do? I want this app to work, and of course I want the updates for it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards Zoe -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VIPhone Google Group.

RE: Seeing I GPS
Trust me, I have had to buy a couple of things shopping that I had no idea what they would look like when they arrived, once satisfied, couple of times not so satisfied, but that is just me. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christopher Chaltain Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2013 11:55 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Seeing I GPS What do most of us totally blind people do when purchasing something off of the INTERNET? I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at with this statement. I'll very seldom purchase an application if I can't take it for a spin first myself, and in general I've been able to do this. If I can't try it myself first then I'll rely on reviews, demos and podcasts. I'm not sure how a sighted person would do this any differently. Maybe you're talking about how a sighted person can see a picture of a product on line before buying it or take a peek at some screen shots, but when I've asked my sighted family for help or watched them purchase things on line, this doesn't seem to help too much! I don't like the house analogy myself, the difference in price is just too great, as is the time commitment. Actually I find analogies in these types of arguments to be pretty useless myself. They always seem like a one sided stretch, but i understand that's the point. I do agree though that for myself I'll need a trial/demo or a really convincing review or podcast before I'll purchase this app. On 07/03/2013 01:31 PM, Rose Combs wrote: I don't know, most of us who are totally blind do just that when purchasing anything off the internet.

However, without signing up for a payed subscription 1 or 3 years, you will not be able to see anything about the app. You will not be able to see the layout of the app, how the interface looks or anything else. At this point in time, I will not purchase the app because of this situation. That's like saying, here's a house for you to purchase, but you cant take a look at it till after you purchase. At the least, they could have let potential subscribers see what the app looks like. Until this changes, I'll not be a purchaser. JMO.

Hijacking threads again from a group member's perspective
In the last few days, things have truly gotten out of control. Messages with subject lines about the Sendero Seeing Eye app end up talking about completely different topics; messages with subject lines about tap tap see feedback are actually about the regular camera app and on and on it goes. This is truly annoying on a list as busy as this one, It does not take a rocket scientist to start a new message with an appropriate subject line. If you do not understand what it means to hijack a thread it means replying to a message and going off on a different subject than that of the message to which you are replying. Even choosing to reply to a message, then changing the subject line does not help because those of us who have our messages organized by thread, still get that message sorted into the group that match the original subject line. So, if you what to talk about a topic that is different than the original thread, take the extra few seconds and hit compose instead of reply. Be thankful I am not a moderator because I would simply cancel people's access to the list after a couple warnings. Raul and Cara have given many, many warnings about this issue, one as recent as last week. If it wasn't for the people who continue to give good, helpful information on this list I would unsubscribe to keep from having to spend most of my time hitting the delete key, which is what I do now.

RE: Apple Maps vs. Seeing Eye
Based on one short trip to a local restaurant, it is seamless to find a POI. It directed us where we wanted to go, but, due to complications, while we were eating our meal my battery went dead so I did not use it going home. It was at 100% when I left home, but I was using Bluetooth earphone and the seeing app and we had some minor problems on the way to the restaurant so it took longer than expected. Does anyone know, I hoped that I saved my registration but, my husband had the phone while I was typing on the Bluetooth keyboard so I am not sure. I know you should be able to check under settings, but when I press subscription it goes nowhere, hoping it means it is registered. Still learning a lot, only went less than a mile from home but since it is 101 degrees out there I don't feel like doing more tests today.

RE: Seeing Eye GPS Demo/trial Mode
Hi Keith, Edge is a pre-3G standard for data speed, as is GPRS. These are data connections which work at a slower speed than 3G. I highly doubt this would make a huge difference for an app like Seeing eye which queries a server for map data, we are not talking about huge amounts of data that are passed back and forth. When I was in Thailand in April I had pretty good 3G connections in all the cities, but as soon as you were outside in the countryside it usually showed an Edge connection and things like Skype or VoIP calling in general did not work so good because the connection did not provide the necessary bandwidth for that.

RE: Seeing Eye GPS Demo/trial Mode
Hi Kelly, They may offer turn by turn walking directions which will definitely be nice and possibly superior to what navigon currently offers, but I assume that you still have to set a destination and calculate a route before you get that. The big advantage of something like the SeeingEye app is the fact that you can just load the app and start walking and it will give you very useful feedback about cross streets, intersections and points of interest without having to do anything. Apps like Sendero LookAround, Ariadne GPS, BlindSquare and so on have been developed largely because they offer some of this functionality while commercial apps like \navigon don't offer this functionality at all. I remember a lot of posts from new iPhone users over the years who asked which GPS app they should use in order to get this level of information and feedback along with turn by turn directions and the answer was always that one had to use at least 2 or 3 apps, now there is one that does it all and that does it better because none of the other apps had intersection information.

RE: Sendero's i-phone gps app
Mr. Kearney compares Sendero's strategy with a Bait and Switch which is unfortunate since it only means he has apparently not read the app description or any information about the app on the Sendero website. As somebody else pointed out, it clearly states on the Sendero website that a subscription is required and this information is also contained in the app description. In any case, here is the definition of a Bait and Switch which typically applies to retail products, it involves false advertising as well as 2 products, one as the bait and one, more expensive one, as the switch: Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud used in retail sales. first, customers are baited by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods are not available, or the customers are pressured by sales people to consider similar, but higher priced items (switching). The intention of the bait-and-switch is to encourage purchases of substituted goods, making consumers satisfied with the available stock offered, as an alternative to a disappointment or inconvenience of acquiring no goods (or bait) at all, and reckoning on a seemingly partial recovery of sunk costs expended trying to obtain the bait. It suggests that the seller will not show the original product or service advertised but instead will demonstrate a more expensive product or a similar product with a higher margin I find it unfortunate that so many people have so much bad stuff to say about a company and a product which most of them haven't even tried and which has been keenly anticipated by a lot of blind iPhone users. Let's hope that we will soon hear testamonies and reviews from people who are actually using the app and who point out its good sides for a change. This almost reminds me of all the bashing of apple that has been going on especiallhy in the tech media, it seems every time somebody comes out with something good somebody else feels they don't deserve recognition and success. Feedback and criticism can also be made in constructive ways which contribute to improving the product.

Regards Joanne (AU) From: Greg Kearney Date: Thu, 4 Jul 2013 08:44:18 +0800 Subject: Sendero's i-phone gps app I downloaded this app by tricking my phone into thinking it was in the U.S. and that I could buy things from the U.S. app store. I have serious issues with the way this app is being marketed which I feel is deceptive and amounts to a bait and switch. These concerns have nothing to do with the fact that the app does not support navigation outside of North America, which is why it is at the moment only offered in the U.S. app store. My issue come from the fact that the app is promoted as a free download, which in fact it is. What the developer fail to tell you is that while you can download the app for free the app will be useless to you unless you buy the subscription for $70 a year. So, in fact, the app is not free at all and unlike other GPS solutions the app will cost you money each year to keep it running. Should the company go out of business the app becomes worthless. Also you are going to be at the mercy of the company as far as pricing goes. Once you have this app you will need to continue to pay each year for the ability to use it. While other apps do use the idea of in app buy in those app do as a rule offer some, all be it limited, functions in the free version. This is not the case here. The other issue that the app is completely dependent on data from the internet and so unlike many GSP applications will require that you have a data connection on your phone at all times. If you attempt to use this app outside of areas with data service the app will simply stop working. This would pose a real issue in regional, rural and outback Australia where data and sometimes even phone coverage is not available. Not only will you be paying the $70 a year but you will be using up your phone data demands as well. Given these fact I think that we would do well to remember the maxim: caveat emptor, let the buyer beware.

RE: once joined network, iPhone won't hold connection
Hi Michael, I have had that problem before. It only happens with some networks. I'm not sure what can be done about it. If it's your home wireless, perhaps you can check your router antenna to make sure it's pointing in a beneficial direction. If it is, there are antenna extenders you can get for routers to make the signal stronger. All I can think is that the signal just isn't strong enough. Good luck.

It's not there for me- I even launched the app to see if that would cause it to show up, but IT'S still not there. Should it be there regardless of whether location services were turned on during installing or licensing or whatever?

Re: Seeing Eye GPS Demo/trial Mode
Dear Sieghard, Thanks for the explanation. I understand the rationale for the Seeing Eye app now. For folks who have never experienced a GPS solution, Apple Maps in iOS 7 will likely be a great experience that can certainly be helpful and highly useful. For a high quality experience that offers insane accessibility and audio support to the blind traveler, the Seeing Eye app is clearly the option as it integrates the benefits of multiple apps into one package. I'm beginning to believe that an accessible GPS solution is entering into the realm of essential adaptive technology for the highly independent blind person along with a screen reader, portable book reader and OCR technology. In recent years, all of these have become more affordable so it is possible to talk about a complete set of tools within the budget of many. Kelly On 7/4/13, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Kelly, They may offer turn by turn walking directions which will definitely be nice and possibly superior to what navigon currently offers, but I assume that you still have to set a destination and calculate a route before you get that. The big advantage of something like the SeeingEye app is the fact that you can just load the app and start walking and it will give you very useful feedback about cross streets, intersections and points of interest without having to do anything. Apps like Sendero LookAround, Ariadne GPS, BlindSquare and so on have been developed largely because they offer some of this functionality while commercial apps like \navigon don't offer this functionality at all. I remember a lot of posts from new iPhone users over the years who asked which GPS app they should use in order to get this level of information and feedback along with turn by turn directions and the answer was always that one had to use at least 2 or 3 apps, now there is one that does it all and that does it better because none of the other apps had intersection information.

I wonder how the Seeing Eye app will be really different from that experience. Chicago has loads of one-way streets so turn by turn driving directions have limited value. I would very much like a short paid subscription. Apple Maps does not work in EDGE service. I would like to try the Seeing Eye ap to find out how it preforms in EDGE conditions. The fact that maps are through the Internet and not my device is a bummer. No cell phone carrier is available everywhere. However, a talking map can be indispensable and should be available at all times like Navigon. Mike May described his difficulty in developing both a high quality accessible GPS ap that was affordable in the March CSUN presentation. I would like a monthly subscription to understand how the app works under EDGE conditions. Those seeking a free or low cost solution are really advocating for a socialist society. I essentially live in one and life in this leftist paradise is not the utopia that many claim it to be.

I also think that changing the price may well be possible, if enough people request a one or two week trial subscription for maybe $10 or so, Sendero might very well do this. I personally have a lot of confidence in Sendero and their ability to produce an outstanding app which will become more feature rich as time goes by. I downloaded the app and the only reason why I haven't registered/subscribed yet is because I am currently not going anywhere and don't really need it.

Re: Location Services with Tap Tap See- where did you find them?
Hi, The location services for Tap Tap See are used to pinpoint your general location. Location services uses GPS along with crowd sourcing wifi hotspot and cell towers to pinpoint your location. Being that Tap Tap See uses crowd sourcing to return info on any pictures taken, having your general location is helpful. To turn on Location services for Tap Tap See go to. Settings, swipe down to Privacy, Swipe to Location Services, you then should hear Location Services ON -button- bouble tap to open Location services, swipe down to Tap Tap See and double tap to turn on Location Services. Depending on the apps that you use, and most likely since Safari and Seri come pre-installed on IOS devices, you shouold see these also listed and they, if you use them, should also be turned on.

Re: Sendero's i-phone gps app
Thank you everyone for your positive words on this issue. This was forwarded from an Australian email list. There has been quite a bit of negativity regarding Sendero on that list in the last couple days. I agree with what everyone has said, and have already written to the Australian list, giving a more positive angle. I have nothing but praise the Sendero for providing a great service in providing accessible GPS. Sent from my iPhone On 05/07/2013, at 6:44 AM, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Mr. Kearney compares Sendero's strategy with a Bait and Switch which is unfortunate since it only means he has apparently not read the app description or any information about the app on the Sendero website. As somebody else pointed out, it clearly states on the Sendero website that a subscription is required and this information is also contained in the app description. In any case, here is the definition of a Bait and Switch which typically applies to retail products, it involves false advertising as well as 2 products, one as the bait and one, more expensive one, as the switch: Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud used in retail sales. first, customers are baited by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods are not available, or the customers are pressured by sales people to consider similar, but higher priced items (switching). The intention of the bait-and-switch is to encourage purchases of substituted goods, making consumers satisfied with the available stock offered, as an alternative to a disappointment or inconvenience of acquiring no goods (or bait) at all, and reckoning on a seemingly partial recovery of sunk costs expended trying to obtain the bait. It suggests that the seller will not show the original product or service advertised but instead will demonstrate a more expensive product or a similar product with a higher margin I find it unfortunate that so many people have so much bad stuff to say about a company and a product which most of them haven't even tried and which has been keenly anticipated by a lot of blind iPhone users. Let's hope that we will soon hear testamonies and reviews from people who are actually using the app and who point out its good sides for a change. This almost reminds me of all the bashing of apple that has been going on especiallhy in the tech media, it seems every time somebody comes out with something good somebody else feels they don't deserve recognition and success. Feedback and criticism can also be made in constructive ways which contribute to improving the product.

Re: Location Services with Tap Tap See- where did you find them?
Hi, The path that I stated before should lead you to Location Services. No you shouldn't have to have the app Tap Tap See open to find Location Services for the app. Yes, Red Laser and All Access need Location Services turned on, so that you are able to gather info from your general area. Photos and camera doesn't necessarily need Location Services turned on. All this does if Location Services are turned on for Photos and camera is to stamp your coordinance on the photos info. If this info is presented to the general public and if the photo happends to have been taken in or around your house, your address can be obtained. Here is the instructions to get you to Location Services once again.. From the Home screen of your device Go To Settings and double tap to open. Swipe down to Privacy Swipe to Location Services this should be the first in the list. You should hear Voiceover read Location Services ON -Button- Double tap to open Location Services and then Swipe down until you hear Tap Tap See. Double tap on Tap Tap See to turn on Location Services. The list of apps will also include camera, photos, blogger, Safari, Seri, All Access, Red Laser, Maps, and any other apps that you may be using that would require your location to give you the best possible info and results. Not all of the apps listed will necessarily need Location Services turned on. This will depend on how frequently you use the app. For example, I have Location Services turned OFF for Seri, because I have disabled Seri because I refuse to use the comedian! But I have Location Services turned ON for TuneIn Radio, so that I am able to gather info on my local radio stations. Donna It's not there for me- I even launched the app to see if that would cause it to show up, but IT'S still not there. Should it be there regardless of whether location services were turned on during installing or licensing or whatever? I have a iPhone4, does that explain the difference in what you are seeing and what is available on my phone?

Joe, The code is displayed on-screen. That's why I stated you will need sighted assistance. While the sign up process is not as accessible as it could be, once you are verified, you won't have any accessibility issues with accessing ESPn content. The nice thing is that you will have access to ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN3, which was only available on the internet. Enjoy.

Re: accessing new features in appleTV
I don't have the specific address. When the code is generated on-screen, the web site is given.

Re: Sendero's i-phone gps app
Hi there, Firstly, i congrets Sendero for the success of developing/creating such a gps/map/app for the blind. F First at all, i appreciate everyone opinions and views on this matter. I'm not, Agree nor disagree with any side of the arguement. The reason why i brought up the email, is to give a different angle of the discussion, looking it from different parts of the world, in terms of how one can get access, and one may access the app/map/gps whichever one fancy to call it. I think, the original email is not an open fire against Sendero or any of the sorts. In Gregg's email, it states very clear why he got such opinion and views on the Sendero app/map/gps, and i can understand why. Lets be honest here, how many of us here truely go to the developer website and read in details about what the app has to offer before purchasing the app? Just because it is a purpose build app/map/gps for the blind therefore, it should have full on 100% praise on the app/map/gps? I think, it is about time to have more of a constructive discussion as to why, and why not, instead of because it is from Sendero, or because its purposely build for the blind, thereofre we need to support it, or not supporting it. As someone who traveling a lot, both within Austrlasia and different parts of the world, i don't see why Sendero can't include other maps in the thing. One would think it will be much easier to include the choice of other maps, considering its on subscription base. e.g. North American and Europe map for $99 per year, or North America maps only for $69, and some other option like if you want to travel from Australia to America, and only wish to be there for 32 days, you can subscribe to the app for $15 for 30 days or such. Frankly speaking, what i found with the Sendero arguement, it has turning to become Apple vs Freedom Scientific arguement, as some anti Apple blind user that could point out, in some other blind list, Freedom Scientific keeps blind people employ therefore i don't see why i should support Apple who don't employ blind people. Now, how true is that statement? for some blind people they believe that its so true that they can't see any alternative but uses Jaws and WindowXP, and using Talks with their very old Nokia Phone. Just my 0.02 sense Regards Joanne On 05/07/2013, Andrew Head ath...@bigpond.net.au wrote: Thank you everyone for your positive words on this issue. This was forwarded from an Australian email list. There has been quite a bit of negativity regarding Sendero on that list in the last couple days. I agree with what everyone has said, and have already written to the Australian list, giving a more positive angle. I have nothing but praise the Sendero for providing a great service in providing accessible GPS.

As somebody else pointed out, it clearly states on the Sendero website that a subscription is required and this information is also contained in the app description. In any case, here is the definition of a Bait and Switch which typically applies to retail products, it involves false advertising as well as 2 products, one as the bait and one, more expensive one, as the switch: Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud used in retail sales. first, customers are baited by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods are not available, or the customers are pressured by sales people to consider similar, but higher priced items (switching). The intention of the bait-and-switch is to encourage purchases of substituted goods, making consumers satisfied with the available stock offered, as an alternative to a disappointment or inconvenience of acquiring no goods (or bait) at all, and reckoning on a seemingly partial recovery of sunk costs expended trying to obtain the bait. It suggests that the seller will not show the original product or service advertised but instead will demonstrate a more expensive product or a similar product with a higher margin I find it unfortunate that so many people have so much bad stuff to say about a company and a product which most of them haven't even tried and which has been keenly anticipated by a lot of blind iPhone users. Let's hope that we will soon hear testamonies and reviews from people who are actually using the app and who point out its good sides for a change. This almost reminds me of all the bashing of apple that has been going on especiallhy in the tech media, it seems every time somebody comes out with something good somebody else feels they don't deserve recognition and success.

Re: Location Services with Tap Tap See- where did you find them?
With all this talk about location services and taptapsee I decided to check mine out only to discover that taptapsee isn't in the list of services. Any idea as to why and what, if anything, I can or should do about it? Thanks, Don - Original Message - From: Donna merma...@bellsouth.net To: viphone@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, July 4, 2013 6:42 pm Subject: Re: Location Services with Tap Tap See- where did you find them? Hi, The path that I stated before should lead you to Location Services. No you shouldn't have to have the app Tap Tap See open to find Location Services for the app. Yes, Red Laser and All Access need Location Services turned on, so that you are able to gather info from your general area. Photos and camera doesn't necessarily need Location Services turned on. All this does if Location Services are turned on for Photos and camera is to stamp your coordinance on the photos info. If this info is presented to the general public and if the photo happends to have been taken in or around your house, your address can be obtained. Here is the instructions to get you to Location Services once again.. From the Home screen of your device Go To Settings and double tap to open. Swipe down to Privacy Swipe to Location Services this should be the first in the list. You should hear Voiceover read Location Services ON -Button- Double tap to open Location Services and then Swipe down until you hear Tap Tap See. Double tap on Tap Tap See to turn on Location Services. The list of apps will also include camera, photos, blogger, Safari, Seri, All Access, Red Laser, Maps, and any other apps that you may be using that would require your location to give you the best possible info and results. Not all of the apps listed will necessarily need Location Services turned on. This will depend on how frequently you use the app. For example, I have Location Services turned OFF for Seri, because I have disabled Seri because I refuse to use the comedian! But I have Location Services turned ON for TuneIn Radio, so that I am able to gather info on my local radio stations. Donna It's not there for me- I even launched the app to see if that would cause it to show up, but IT'S still not there. Should it be there regardless of whether location services were turned on during installing or licensing or whatever? I have a iPhone4, does that explain the difference in what you are seeing and what is available on my phone? Under a different path- General/Restrictions/Privacy- location services is 'dimmed'- but don't exactly know what that really means. Under the location path you mentioned, I wonder if All Access, Camera, Photos, and Red Laser really require location services?

RE: Seeing Eye GPS Demo/trial Mode
Kelly, Ever since the beginning of the development of accessible GPS devices, detailed audio feedback about the environment has been a primary goal. Some of the important aspects I as a completely blind person want to know are as follows: . periodic announcements of the street name I am on and the direction I am going. . information about upcoming cross streets like street name and how far I am from it . information about the type of intersection I am approaching like 4-way, 3-way etc. I have often walked along a sidewalkopposite the side where a street ended in a T intersection and where I had to turn down that street. Even if I have a route set with an app like Navigon and get the instruction Turn left on Oak Street, assuming that is the street name, I might continue walking thinking I just go until I get to the intersection, then I cross and everything is good. Well, if Oak Street ends at the street I am on and across from where I am, I am likely to walk straight past it. I will of course eventually get the idea, but if the app says Next cross street is Oak Street follows that with 3-way intersection it makes a lot more sense to me. MobileGeo typically told me that kind of information and usually also told me whether the street was going off on my side or the other side. I have a feeling we will never see this kind of detail from a commercial app because sighted users simply have no need to know. They can first of all easily see it on the map the app displays on their screen and secondly they can just take a quick glance at the intersection. Sendero has been a pioneer in the development of these types of GPS solutions and I highly doubt Mike May has become a millionaire and I am quite certain they haven't decided to charge what they do by figuring out their costs and then tripling it. It is also well known that early adopters sometimes pay more for things or miss out on promotions, take Fleksy as an example. I can't even remember what I paid, but I think it was rather expensive as apps go, then they dropped the price and now it's a free app. But I nonetheless am not angry that I paid where had I waited I could have gotten it for free. The app has been out for only 2 or 3 days and it will take quite a bit longer for Sendero to compile all the feedback, analyse it, make decisions and implement them. Maybe in a month we suddenly see a month to month subscription or a one-week trial period for $5, maybe not. But let's all give them a chance to do their job. Everybody has to decide for themselves in the meantime whether he or she wants the app at the current conditions or not. As for the availability in other countries the same applies. Sendero's home base is the States, we in Canada are lucky because most Navteq maps cover North America and while Navteq definitely offers good maps for Europe, Australia and other places, it may very well make sense for Sendero to get the app going in one major market before tackling other markets.

I understand the rationale for the Seeing Eye app now. For folks who have never experienced a GPS solution, Apple Maps in iOS 7 will likely be a great experience that can certainly be helpful and highly useful. For a high quality experience that offers insane accessibility and audio support to the blind traveler, the Seeing Eye app is clearly the option as it integrates the benefits of multiple apps into one package. I'm beginning to believe that an accessible GPS solution is entering into the realm of essential adaptive technology for the highly independent blind person along with a screen reader, portable book reader and OCR technology. In recent years, all of these have become more affordable so it is possible to talk about a complete set of tools within the budget of many. Kelly On 7/4/13, Sieghard Weitzel siegh...@live.ca wrote: Hi Kelly, They may offer turn by turn walking directions which will definitely be nice and possibly superior to what navigon currently offers, but I assume that you still have to set a destination and calculate a route before you get that. The big advantage of something like the SeeingEye app is the fact that you can just load the app and start walking and it will give you very useful feedback about cross streets, intersections and points of interest without having to do anything. Apps like Sendero LookAround, Ariadne GPS, BlindSquare and so on have been developed largely because they offer some of this functionality while commercial apps like \navigon don't offer this functionality at all. I remember a lot of posts from new iPhone users over the years who asked which GPS app they should use in order to get this level of
