Hi Mary Anne,
Let me ask you one question: If you feel this way, why did you even
download
and buy the one-year subscription to start with? It's not like Sendero
forced you to do so.
You could go and pay $59 for Navigon North America, then $15 or
whatever it
is for BlindSquare for a total of $75 and have a workable solution even
though it wouldn't be as good as the Seeing Eye app. This totally
reminds me
about the uproar some people felt when Sendero dared to charge $5 for
their
LookAround app a few years ago, the outrage some people felt then I
think
was downright ridiculous and while $70 is more than $5, like I said,
don't
buy it if you don't want it.
Take care,
Sieghard

I think it's a disgrace and a total rip off. Not even a trial? Even
so, it's
too expensive and nothing but outright greediness. I've already
written this
as a rating for the app, adding that it's nothing less than a case of
total
greed, greed, greed, taking advantage of blind people and stealing
money out
of their pockets. Sixty-nine bucks a year, that is outrageous! What a
cocky
attitude for Sendero to adopt. who do they think they are anyway? I
couldn't
even rate it zero stars and I begrudgingly gave them one just to
speak my
mind.

Verse of the Week
Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into
it and is safe. (ESV)
Prayer: "O gracious and Holy Father, give us wisdom to perceive you,
diligence to seek you, patience to wait for you, eyes to behold you,
a heart to meditate upon you, and a life to proclaim you; through the
power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord." (Prayer of Saint
Benedict of Nursia,
480-547 AD)
Psalm 23:1-6
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;
2 he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still
waters;
3 he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his
name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I
fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they
comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you
anoint my
head with oil, my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Psalm 19:8-11

Subject: The Seeing Eye app, a quick test.
Hi all, I took the Seeing Eye GPS app for a quick walk around my
neighborhood to see how well it performed. I walked about one mile,
and took a different route back. It worked well, although like most
GPS apps it seemed to use a lot of battery, over twenty percent in the
one mile walk.
The interface of the app is simple and easy to understand. Entering
an address is made easy because the state and city you are in are
already entered, so only the address number and street need to be
entered. If you are going to another city, however, you will need to
change that field. I started by searching for a point of intrest and
starting a route. The app uses voice over for most of the
announcements, but does have another voice that chimes in
occasionally. The directions were clear and given with ample lead
time. As I approached intersections it would announce the street name
and the intersection type, I. E. Fore way, and the street direction.
Also, as I walked the app announced points of intrest as I passed by.
On the way back, I tried the route to home option, which opened a
drop down menu with various options including one that is poorly
labeled. My wife told me it said multi modal, which voice over didn't
understand, so I relabeled this button multi mode.
Over all I think this is a great start, but there are a few things
I'd like to see in the future. I'd like to see the ability to walk a
virtual route, as I was able to do with my human ware Trekker..
After taxes the one year subscription cost over seventy five dollars.
It sounds like a lot, but considering my old Trekker was fifteen
hundred dollars seven years ago, it doesn't seem too expensive.
If you figure it out, it comes to about twenty one cents a day for
the one year subscription. And only about thirteen cents a day with
the three year subscription, it seems reasonable to me.
