The only thing I think I can say I don't like about Apple Maps, is that if you
want it to announce turn-by-turn directions, unless there's something I'm
missing, you have to have it running in the foreground, which is a serious
inconvenience, considering the fact that most people multi-task

Hi there
Somebody may have already said this, but you can pair Blind Square with Apple
Maps as well, which is already on your iPhone. You need to decide whether you
want Blind Square to tell each street you come to. If you are riding in a car,
you may not want that. You can set this in Blind
I did select plan a route, and the only ones that were listed were google
maps, and maps, which surprised me, considering the fact that the web site says
it works with multiple apps, so have no idea why those were the only ones

Which one do you use? I eventually had to uninstall scout maps and go back to
google maps, which I had a love/hate relationship with, mostly because it
didn't let me know when I'd reached my destination, which was frustrating for
me.

Hi Jessica
When it says Maps, I think it means Apple Maps. Blind Square will tell you when
you read your destination if you set it to talk along with the other GPS
program. I think another option to telling Blind Square not to run at the same
time would be to turn off streets first if you were

I love this program, and it has saved me more than once for not passing up my
bus stop. Lately, the Dallas Area Rapid Transit has not had working GPS

I also think it's a great app. When I'm walking around, it's the app I

Hello!
I'm developer of the app. BlindSquare really doesn't need built-in
turn-by-turn, since it is always better if user can use best-of-best. It
varies by the location, if TomTon, Navigon, Google Maps or Apple Maps is
better than the other, so it is really the best choice to give user freedom

Hi
although it is very limited, i have tried the free verrsion. what really bugs
me is the fact that its TTS talks overtop of voiceover constantly, so you are
never hearing what voiceover is telling you and if it's important, that could
bee bad or dangerous. My friends have it and as I said

have turn by turn directions. That's really the only major thing that is

I also would like to add a bit of perspective regarding this issue with
the cost of GPS apps for iOS. For many of us, money is tight and we
need to be prudent and responsible about our purchases. However, when I

Hi,
I don't think Blind Square will ever have turn by turn built in.
The way they do it is to pass turn by turn off to another GPS
application such as google maps or navigon.
This approach saves the developer the trouble of reinventing the wheel
as the apps that do turn by turn do it well.
Jessica,'It's so worth it. It's the only app I use literally every day. The
price is very cheap in my opinion. It has got better and better over the years.
I paid full price for Blind Square and would do so again as I use it so often.
