This is a biggie folks, as far is apps go. I love it because one it will run in the background, with voiceover off even, 2, it tells me what's nearby. The only thing I don't like is that the interface is a light red color that would be better darker for more contrast. Also, when you tell people about the app and you share the app details, it gives the description in Spanish. I'm guessing .cl is a Latin country
