Hello Sean, coming from a moderator I can say that your message wasn't
attacking any one individually, but rather expressing a different view
point. So, you are good there. For whoever else is reading this, keep
this in mind when expressing your opinions on whether people are being
robbed, blind people should get it all for free, or just don't like the
price point of things.
Thanks.

Really? Are you serious? Stealing money out of blind peoples pockets?
Greed?
Do you feel that the grocery store is stealing money out of your pocket?
Your cell carrier? Any other business that you do business with?
Where do blind people get off thinking that they should be given
everything for free? This is the sort of atitude that gives blind
persons a bad name & makes all of us look bad. I'll probably be
chastized by the list owners or mods for my comments. However, that is
the price I'm willing to pay to make my point.
No one owes you anything whether you're blind, sighted, left-handed,
right-handed, etc. If you want it, you buy it, if you don't then don't.
But, don't begrudge those of us who have nor the company for trying to
make money.

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.

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,

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.

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.
