Thanks for this description. I wish they made a version of this app
without the voices though. It would make the app smaller, and probably
cut down on the cost.

OK...I have played with this a little more.
You need to select the radius you want to search in. There is a
button in the upper right corner to change this setting. Double tap
it then swipe up or down to select the search radius.
When you open Blind Square the screen will display a list of
categories such as My Places,shared places, arts and entertainment,
etc.
If you select a category, such as Food, it will say search. Double tap
and it will search for restaurants within the the radius you have
selected. Now it will search, this takes a few seconds and then will
list the restaurants in that radius.
I have not figured out how the list is compiled, it is not by distance
or alphabetical.
Double tap on the desired item and the app will give you distance and
direction via a clock face. For example, Applebees 390 feet at 11
o'clock. Since it is dependant on the compass, the iPhone must be held
parallel to the ground with the top pointing in front of you.
Next to each category there is an on off button. If you turn the
category on the app will automatically search in the selected radius
and read the items off.
Hope this helps,
Chuck

I have downloaded this app, and have played with it for about a half hour. I am
not impressed!
It says that the Olive Garden is 2 miles away from my house. The onlyOlive
garden I know is 8 miles away. It also does not recognize any of the
restaurants that are local to my home. there is an Apple bees, Jack-in-the-Box,
and a sonic drive-in, within 1/4 mile of my house. I can't seem to get it to
do much of anything other then, when I shake the phone it gives me my home
address.
I would hold off on buying this until there is more documentation and other
people have played with it for a while.
