I have updated to iOS 12.2 and I just checked and my copy of Overthere is still working as it has always worked. My phone is an SE.

Another GPS app, Righthear, which also switches modes depending on whether the phone is held vertically or not works fine so I don't think it's a hardware problem. I have restarted the phone, done a hard reset, uninstalled and reinstalled the app all with no luck. My gal is using iOS 12.1.4 and her copy of OverThere is working fine. We both have iPhone 8. "overTHERE uses a unique line-of-sight algorithm that lets you point the phone in your hand in any direction to hear the nearest Places as Virtual Talking Signs. When pointing straight at a virtual sign the speech is loud and clear, but as you point away from it, the speech starts to get staticky, so you have quick audio feedback about the exact location of the virtual talking sign. Holding the phone horizontally lets you explore your surroundings using the virtual talking signs interface, but when the phone is held vertically you can use the screen or VoiceOver to review the list of signs around you. By selecting a sign from the list you can access details about a location such as its address, phone number, or web site..." “overTHERE overTHERE grew out of Smith-Kettlewell's Virtual Talking Signs project. The app uses an interface based on Talking Signs – a system of infrared transmitters and receivers that Smith-Kettlewell originally developed to make signage accessible for blind pedestrians. The original Talking Signs system allowed the location of a transmitter to be determined by moving the receiver back and forth across the beam of a transmitter until the strongest signal is heard. overTHERE uses a similar interface, offering many of the advantages of Talking Signs, but now the transmitters are Google map pins and the receiver is your iPhone." https://www.ski.org/project/overthere If anyone who doesn't already have it is interested, the link for the app is: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overthere/id1126056833?mt=8 Thanks, Kelly Hill -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
