Intersector helps you quickly identify nearby street intersections using your iPhone’s location and heading. Ask for the nearest intersection, what’s coming up ahead, or use Scan Mode to point your phone down the street and hear the intersection it detects. Intersector can speak distance, direction, and neighborhood context, and includes optional wording styles so announcements can match how you think about your surroundings. Built with VoiceOver users in mind, Intersector focuses on fast, clear spoken information without turning into turn-by-turn navigation. It is designed as a lightweight orientation tool for understanding nearby cross streets, not as a crossing aid or safety system. Features include: • Nearest intersection announcements • Upcoming intersection announcements • Scan Mode for nearby intersections in the direction you point • Siri Shortcut support • Optional distance, direction, and neighborhood details • Customizable intersection wording • Support for split intersections where different streets meet the same main street • Manhattan Snob Mode for New York-style direction wording • VoiceOver-friendly controls and spoken feedback • Dynamic Type and large text support. Intersector also has an Apple Watch companion app, so Siri Shortcuts and intersection data can be queried right from your wrist. Intersector uses location and heading data to provide orientation information. Always use your own judgment, mobility skills, and available pedestrian infrastructure when traveling. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.2.12 — 2026-08-25 Tidied up the Settings screen and fixed some underlying interface bugs. ### 1.2.11 — 2026-08-21 The loading states and spinner have been reworked for better low-vision support. A border will surround the text while Intersector is working and fades away when the response is ready. The Settings screen now has better Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support for the various announcement controls. Crossings are now implemented to be much more accurate based on the OpenStreetMap data. ### 1.2.10 — 2026-08-07 Lots of under-the-hood reworking to make Crossings more accurate when that option is turned on. Identifies mid-block pedestrian crossings and filters out unnamed service road data that may show up closer to named intersections. Further improvements to help with loading the initial map data for Nearest and Upcoming queries. Visual updates for the primary app buttons, including a more distinct Scan button. "Point and Scan" is now renamed to "Scan" across the ap. Watch App no longer has "Current Info" heading, opening up more visual space for enlarged text. ### 1.2.8 — 2026-07-24 Major low-vision visual updates to the Settings screen to help make controls more distinct. You can now choose different Display modes for the incoming information. A Help screen has been added to further explain all of the app features and settings. Street Context has been removed to simplify the Settings and announcements. The action chevrons on Nearest and Upcoming are a much more manageable size. Lots of under-the-hood work done to make map data lookup go faster and to prevent longer lookups from sinking the app. Walkways and Crossings have been bolstered, along with a brand new Upcoming intersection system that is much more accurate and takes road shape into account. Siri text and intents have been fixed for both the Watch and Phone app versions. ### 1.2.6 — 2026-07-20 No release notes. ## Apps similar to Intersector | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Indigo Nav](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/indigo-nav/id945756779) | 4.0 (27) | Free | Navigation | | [NOA Companion](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/noa-companion/id6443738640) | — | Free | Navigation | | [Seeing Assistant Go](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/seeing-assistant-go/id6499322150) | — | Free | Navigation | | [STEP Navigation](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/step-navigation/id6448701994) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Navigation | | [CrossGuide Blind Navigation](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crossguide-blind-navigation/id6639618458) | — | Free | Navigation | | [CurbToCar](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/curbtocar/id6748715225) | 4.4 (7) | Free | Navigation | ## More apps by Marco Salsiccia - [Oh Craps!](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/oh-craps/id6757132039) - [Whack A Braille](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/whack-a-braille/id6760976367) - [WordBopper](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/wordbopper/id6766375951) - [Audio Showdown](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/audio-showdown/id6783993586) - [ghostWriter Markdown](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ghostwriter-markdown/id6795344477) All apps by Marco Salsiccia: https://appshunter.io/developer/1864773757 ## Related topics [intersection](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/intersection) · [amica street smart](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/amica-street-smart) · [junction now](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/junction-now) · [intersection affiliate](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/intersection-affiliate) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
