I appreciate the transparent pricing model where you pay for what you use. I passed this on to the iDevice list.

Subject: [ATI] Crowd Vis IPhone App released Hi Everyone, The App Crowd Vis was released on the Apple App store on labor day September 7. Crowd Vis is an IPhone app that uses the Face Time feature to help a blind person when we need a pair of eyes. It is like the app be my Eyes with a couple of differences. When you download the App you receive 8 free calls. This is so you can try the service before you pay any money. Then after you use the 8 free calls you can buy more calls from within the App. The pricing options are as follows. There are 3 options. 4 calls for $2.99. 7 Calls for $4.99. 16 Calls for $9.99. On top of the 8 free calls after download. So why the charge? This is because there is a trained and paid staff answering the calls and are available 24 / 7. So if you need the service you will know there will be someone available to assist you. I am making this announcement because I helped beta test the App and have talked to the developer many times. I also supported this to be a paid service. I believe you get what you pay for and a trained paid professional staff we can depend on is worth the money, at least to me. So give it a try and see if it is worth the money to you. Remember the App is free and so are the first 8 calls. Also there is no time limit on how long you keep the app or use the free calls. Here is a message from the head developer Akash Hi Everyone, Just wanted to update you guys that this week of launch has been going exactly as we hoped! Since we opted for a soft (quiet) launch, we have had the opportunity these past few days to prepare ourselves for a much larger user base in the coming weeks. Fortunately, each day has consisted of positive user base growth and CrowdViz is becoming more and more familiar to the blind community day after day. The date that we have set to start serious marketing campaigns for CrowdViz is September 14th (next Monday). If you have any suggestions for improving and gaining CrowdViz exposure in the coming weeks, we are all ears. Also, worth noting our current country releases are as follows: US, UK, Canada, and India. Make sure to follow us on twitter @crowdvizapp Exposure on twitter has been really great for us this week. Thanks Akash So try it out, you have nothing to loose. Thanks, Darrel Vickers Adaptive Technology http://ati.moblind.org -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ ATI (Adaptive Technology Inc.)
