Hi Jared,
I just had a look at your link and it will bring up the app, but in the Zimbabwe app store. You can tell which app store an address is from by looking at the 2 letters after https://itunes.apple.com/ Anyhow, it appears the app is available in the United States, but it is not available in the Canadian app store. Too bad since at least the description sounds OK. The developer, Novartis Pharmaceutical Corporation, is according to Wikipedia also the largest pharmaceutical company with respect to sales which in 2013 were 57.9 Billion. Very nice of them to make a free app for the blind, isn’t it? I guess they would have the resources to do a good job, I mean what’s a million or two or even 5 for a company like that. It would, however, be nice if they provided a list of countries where the app works. Let’s also see if there will be regular updates and new features. Maybe KNFB Reader should have gone to them for a bit of funding, then maybe the KNFB Reader app would have cost 99 Cents instead of 99 Dollars. After all, according to prescription drugs, over the counter drugs, vaxines, animal drugs the company is also into contact lenses *smile*.a few Bucks Regards, Sieghard From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jared Sent: Monday, September 08, 2014 8:36 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Any experience with the new ViaOpta Nav app? Apparently there is a new free navigation app available designed for blind people called ViaOpta Nav and it can be found at https://itunes.apple.com/zw/app/viaopta-nav/id908435532?mt=8 <https://itunes.apple.com/zw/app/viaopta-nav/id908435532?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D4> &ign-mpt=uo%3D4 I was wondering if anyone has had a chance to look at it? I'm not going to have an opertunity to for a couple days. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
