Re: Blind square wasRe: i phone users.
I don't like Blind Square but am using it whilst waiting for the new Sendero App. Blind Square keeps going to sleep if you stand still and it won't wake up unless your open the phone after it's been locked. I keep it locked to preserve battery. I just wish it would wake up automatically once you started walking or moving again. Kawal.
