I am still running IOS 7.12 and have no problems with Blind Square whatsoever. I have a friend using it with IOS 8.1 and she has some strange problems so I suspect a conflict with the new OS. But from past experience with the app, I feel sure the developers will correct the problems if they can.

Hi Anne,

Do you find that sometimes Blindsquare constantly repeats telling you how far you walked in a certain amount of time? I used it the other day and it would speak that information over and over. Usually after it repeated 4 or 5 times then it would switch to telling me I had walked another hundert meters and it kept repeating that over and over again. I don't know what causes this because it doesn't do it all the time but when it does it is super annoying. I wish they added an option where I could just request this information when I want, I don't find it very useful to have it announced every 5 minutes let along constantly.


Regards,
Sieghard

I love BlindSquare! I live in France but have my iPhone running in English. However, I am able to set BlindSquare to speak French. I am selective about what I want to hear, but I do like the way it announces intersections. It usually warns me of an intersection around 15 m away and tells me the names of the streets. It also tells me how far I’ve walked and how long it’s taken me.

I found BlindSquare invaluable when I got a new guide dog last year, before she’d learned my usual routes. It got me home safely a number of times when we got lost in my home village which doesn’t seem to have a straight road or corner at 90 degrees!

Cheers,

Anne
