Cheree Heppe here: Just got blind square and am relating to the app fairly well. I am just a beginner with it, but am using it without a tutor and any special training. Have navagon and ariadne, but haven't played in those apps much yet.

I have used Blind Square for awhile, and it is pretty good. It is not perfect, as I do notice the feet and time position of a location are off a bit, but I think this is due to GPS not being a perfect accuracy down to the smallest distance. Additionally, the developer of Blind Square is amazing, as he is constantly working on improving the app and tweaking it. He is very responsive, and I hope he continues with tweaking it even with the competition of Sendero's costly Seeing Eye. I know Sendero has a limited market for this app, and they are in business to make money, but if they want to be successful they are going to have to become more responsive about their product. Thanks again for your review of both apps, really insightful.
