Unhappy

This is not a good app
vci191vci191

Great app, but it’s a shame that it’s going to be going away on the next watch iOS update.

This is a great app, very helpful, and easy to use, but I received a notification that the app will no longer work when the next watchOS release comes out unless the app is updated. I hope that somebody is working on it, because it would be a shame to see such a great app disappear because somebody gave up on it! Please save our app!

I love this app

Even though being completely blind I love to stay mobile and independent. This app majorly helps with that. It is very useful, easy to use and has lots of cool functions. I use it all of the time to walk to my favorite stores and hangouts and to explore unknown routes and locations. And bonus unlike other navigation apps for the blind and visually impaired it's not outrageously priced. It's completely free. And no ads or in-app purchases. Tons of thanks to the developers.

Very poor maps, out of date

Not only were the maps out of date, but the interface is very strange requiring you to do such things as to going to settings to enable headphones, which then required you to restart the app before you could use headphones
