Hi Barbara,
Where do you see that the app is developed by the same guys as
Ariadne? The Ariadne developers are from Italy and when I checked out
the Viaopta app it said right at the top where the developer is listed
that it was developed by Novartis which is a huge pharmaceutical
corporation from Switzerland.

Sieghard

Hello guys,
This app is definitely available in Poland and in Germany. It's beeing
developed by the same folks who created Ariadne GPS, I'm not sure why
they've apparently dropped forward developing of Ariadne and started a
new yet similair project.
ViaOpta Nav is free and pretty easy to use, the menu is very clear and
doesn't contain many options. You can check your locations and
intersections close to your location. When on the road, the app
informs you about intersections and POIs, botth taken from OSM (Open
Street Maps), you can also get a proper street to street navigation
based on the TomTom maps.
Overall a nice, quick reacting app, given it's still the version 1.0,
hopefully we'll see it improving in the future.
The interface is in English, on my German-speaking iPhone interface
the app menus are properly translated into German but the terms of use
which you're about to accept each time you're launching the app are in
English only for the time being.
Kind regards,
Barbara

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

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&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.
