Hi Mary Anne, Let me ask you one question: If you feel this way, why did you even download and buy the one-year subscription to start with? It's not like Sendero forced you to do so.
You could go and pay $59 for Navigon North America, then $15 or whatever it is for BlindSquare for a total of $75 and have a workable solution even though it wouldn't be as good as the Seeing Eye app. This totally reminds me about the uproar some people felt when Sendero dared to charge $5 for their LookAround app a few years ago, the outrage some people felt then I think was downright ridiculous and while $70 is more than $5, like I said, don't buy it if you don't want it.

I think it's a disgrace and a total rip off. Not even a trial? Even so, it's too expensive and nothing but outright greediness. I've already written this as a rating for the app, adding that it's nothing less than a case of total greed, greed, greed, taking advantage of blind people and stealing money out of their pockets. Sixty-nine bucks a year, that is outrageous! What a cocky attitude for Sendero to adopt. who do they think they are anyway? I couldn't even rate it zero stars and I begrudgingly gave them one just to speak my mind.
