That’s good.
More people should do the same, instead of complaining.
That is the only way, to get things fixed.

One big problem is that this app is being advertised as free when, to be
fully functional, you really do need good headphones. If it had features like
BlindSquare it would be less misleading.

Hi,
The only thing I have notice is the maps must be fairly old. Because when
my wife was driving it announce places that were at least 15 years old and
older. These places that it was announcing were no longer there and had not
been there for over 15 years. It did seem to announce many places that no
longer existed. So I am not sure what is up with this.

With some bone conduction headphones (I've got some Trekz Air headphones)
it's ok. You can cut down on the chatter by turning off some announcements and
speeding up the speech, but from what I can tell, it's only British English
which in general is not a problem, but it would be nice if there were an
American English voice option since some of the pronunciations can be rather .
. . dynamic with the foreign accent.
I don't know how comfortable I'd be walking around with anything over my
ears like that in general, but some folks are better at this than others I
suppose.
The around me and ahead of me feature are nice in that they can offer
context to what's around you instead of just focusing on the destination.
Also, the Trekz aren't going to score you any style points if presentation
is important to you. Not the type of headphones you're going to want to wear if
you have to deal with meetings or need to be in any sort of professional
setting and so on.

Hello Kelby,
I installed this app on my 8 Plus last week but have yet to launch it.
I will do so this week and post my observations, on-list.
The app sounds intriguing. I will probably use my Apple EarPods, the first
time out.
Of course, I am eager to learn of others' findings, as well.

Subject: Soundscape
Starting a separate thread on this since from what I can tell nobody has
talked about this app yet.
It looks as though Soundscape is pretty similar to BlindSquare in terms of
the things it can call out and announce, with the big new feature being the 3D
sound. This, however, assumes one has headphones that can safely be used
outside, and this definitely isn't the case for me with only earbuds and over
the ear headphones. So my question is is Soundscape even worth trying out and
mostly just focusing on the non-3D announcements like interesections? From what
I understand it has more up to date maps than BlindSquare.
