First, when you gave up Google POI's. The second blow is coming right now, when you have discontinued the annual subscription option. Please bring back the annual subscription, with better pricing compared to the monthly option. Otherwise,purchasing this app no longer makes sense for me. Thank you! ### 2/5 — App is good POI’s are awful *2018-08-03, version 3.4* Maybe the PO eyes work better elsewhere but in a college town it looks like the fools and idiots took over ### 4/5 — Pretty good but keep Google POIs *2018-05-29, version 3.4* Works pretty good. There is no GPS that is exactly perfect every time. Some of the things that people are hoping for are not feasible and even some not possible. Google POIs are very crucial to this app and cooperation should happen in order to maintain them. The blind community has come to depend on this app for mobility independence and even safety. So let’s work together and find a way to make it happen. ### 2/5 — Good app. Have had trouble with recognition of my purchase for monthly renewal *2016-06-02, version 2.1.2* I enjoy using this app. But have had trouble purchasing. Have paid and still tells me I need to renew. Contacting app store and company. ### 4/5 — Works great but… *2016-04-23, version 2.1.2* The app works great as usual however, it does not open on its own using older iPhones such as the iPhone 5c. I find I have to open the app in the app store, using it to piggyback. This will explain why my review score is four stars. Hopefully this bug can be fixed so anybody using an iPhone can open it without problems. ### 2/5 — Very poor accuracy *2016-04-19, version 2.1.2* LTtt ### 2/5 — Too expensive for what it does. *2016-03-24, version 2.0* I don't have a problem with developers making some money, but $10 per month or $70 per year for rather basic GPS functionality? Other blind-specific navigation apps are just as good - if not better, and are less expensive. Otherwise, the app works fine. I like the simplicity and feel it does its job. There needs to be unique features to justify the subscription cost. I would urge others to look elsewhere for cheaper alternatives that do an equal job for far less. ### 4/5 — Jason *2014-02-05, version 1.3* I would suggest that the POI categories be on the same screen as the screen that you search for them. I also think the option to adjust the speed at which it announces intersection and POI'S should be sliders directly accessible from the look around screen in settings. Overall awesome app for a pretty reasonable 3-year price. Gives me useful information that the built-in maps app and google maps don't give me. ### 3/5 — Needs a demo version *2013-09-27, version 1.1.1* I didn't actually use the app. I downloaded it but before I could take it for a test drive it wanted $69.99 from me for one year. I'm not going to pay for something when I don't know what I'm getting. Sounds like it's exactly what I'm looking for. ### 3/5 — Not pleased with the pricing structure *2013-07-18, version 1.0* I'm not sure exactly what it is, but something about this particular subscription model bothers me. Part of it is the subscription price itself. I think this particular application would be more accessible to more users with a monthly subscription that would cost around $10 per month. That way, your bottom line is still the same without making accessibility cost prohibitive to blind Users. ### 4/5 — Great App! *2013-07-16, version 1.0* Though I didn't care for the price, I paid. It works out to $43 if you get the 3-year subscription. It is a great app!! Nice to have an all-in-one accessible gps app. I'm truly looking forward to it being better and better with each release!! Thanks, Sendero! ### 4/5 — Awesome start *2013-07-07, version 1.0* Very nice job on the app. I am pleased with the accessibility of everything. It's definitely better than the original Sendero app for the iPhone. It gives you much more information and being able to plan routes is nice. The couple things that would be really nice to see you in the future are Virtual navigation The ability to create your own points of interest And the ability to save points of interest that you frequently use. Great job Sendero and seeing eye. Keep up the great work. ### 4/5 — Can't wait for more Improvements to the app *2013-07-06, version 1.0* This is a very, very, very good one point zero release. The app works very well. The price of the app is great, it is compairible to mainstream GPS subscription price points, and it is fully accessible to the blind. The days of using three apps to walk down the street are now gone. Congratulations to the Sendero team for a job well done ### 4/5 — Good job *2013-07-06, version 1.0* Very good app for the first version! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Family sharing does not work *2018-04-18, version 3.3* According to my husband, this application has some new features which are very helpful. However, the app promises that it works with family sharing but it does not. Consequently it is receiving a low rating. It is very expensive for what you get. ### 1/5 — Still not useful *2015-10-12, version 2.0* On an iPhone six with the last version of iOS 8, The app crashes when the main screen gets loaded. Sometimes I can hear the current position right before it crashes. ### 1/5 — Not good enough! *2014-05-16, version 1.4* This app, while having great potential, is an absolute disaster. Since its beginning ovary year ago, they have changed map companies at least 2 to 3 times. The information I have gotten from this app has never been accurate, or at least not even close to what comparable apps in the app store have been. Why is it, that BlindSquare, and other certain apps, lock on to my address all the time, not some of the time, and that they get it right every single time? If I were in the orientation and mobility instructing field, I would never allow my students to use this app. Not now, not ever, until something drastically changes. Anyone looking for a good GPS app, get BlindSquare, and Google maps. You'll never go wrong. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-10-11, version 1.1.1* $70 per year? No thank you. ### 1/5 — Avoid this app they want $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ *2013-09-12, version 1.1.1* Don't get this app. It's a bit too overpriced. The Magellan RoadMate does just about the same thing for a one time charge. ### 1/5 — i want my money back *2013-08-09, version 1.0* i dont like waiting 10 minuts for apt to start talking and thout of having this for 3 years i am absolutely beserk and want my money back ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2013-07-13, version 1.0* Highly disappointed I did not mind the cost but expected a lot more from Sendero. I completed several POI why searches for businesses close to my house and got no results. This was done using each of the route options for GPS. I completed a POI search for a specific grocery store close to my house and the directions were inaccurate. It stated the business was on the right when in actuality it was on the left. If nothing else at least make it accurate. Also, when completing a POI while search it is very slow compared to other applications such as MapQuest. For a totally blind user the app was very easy to navigate. At this point I will continue to use MapQuest And would not recommend this app until the accuracy is fixed. For those that are complaining about the cost look at the cost of the previous mapping programs from Sonero And the cost of the device to run them. ### 1/5 — Help!!! *2013-07-07, version 1.0* I have been to the apple store and neither my girlfriend or I can successfully subscribe on our iPhone fives. We took care of the restrictions and can still not subscribe...very disappointing :( ### 1/5 — Issues *2013-07-05, version 1.0* I think this is a cool app, however, I think the price is too high. I think with a name like this Seeing Eye, it seems like they should be getting some sort of money for putting their name behind this app. I would think, that if the Seeing I were getting donations, people wouldn't have such a problem with the price point. ### 1/5 — Problems *2013-07-05, version 1.0* I think that the price for this app is too expensive, considering that none of the money is given to the seeing eye as a donation. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Seeing Eye GPS is the best pedestrian GPS system for the blind *2018-05-28, version 3.4* It was created with the blind in mind by people who knew and are blind send Darrell has been around since the early 90s and has been for running for this GPS system I would like to see Google maps continue with Seeing Eye GPS because they are the premier mapping system for GPS systems ### 5/5 — Jim East from Gainesville Florida *2018-05-28, version 3.4* I was really excited when I discovered that Sendero GPS now known as seeing eye GPS moved to the iPhone. Have been using Sandra products for nearly 15 years. Enjoyed each succession and I am very proud to be a active user of the Seeing Eye GPS. I am a guy dog handler who travels daily as a pedestrian as a bus fixed route bus traveler as well as an Uber rider. I also travel by Gray hound, and I fly regularly. A GPS app as for most drivers is awesome and if you are blind, it is just as necessary. You are able to give directions actively as I do helping to navigate new communities with my friends. Even in my hometown we go new places and said of just sitting there waiting to get there, I can be an active part of the trip. I went to a party in a neighboring community with a friend or a couple months ago. It was a 30 mile trip and I was able to help my friend know were each turn was, and we arrived actually quicker than we thought we would she was very grateful for the app as well. So thank you send Darrow thank you for everyone who is a part of it and thank you for all that thank you for the partners such as Googal and others who contribute to the success of seeing a GPS. I have dictated because I do not have a reliable keyboard, but please except my sentiment. This is an awesome app and I really appreciate having it and it making my travel and the travel I do with others safe and accessible. ### 5/5 — This is a great app *2018-05-28, version 3.4* I love this app. When I moved to my new home in a new state it got me around. Are used it on a regular basis to read street signs around town and locate buildings. I have saved myself from getting lost in the same countless minutes in hours of travel time by using this app and all of its features. ### 5/5 — Top of the line! *2016-04-15, version 2.1.1* As always, Senderogroup puts out the finest GPS. Products tailored for the blind and visually impaired. After getting hopelessly lost while using another product, this is a Godsend. ### 5/5 — Easy and accessible *2014-06-10, version 1.4* Finally, we don't have to run to or three apps to get full GPS accessibility Great first version am looking forward to more improvements Sendero has a long history of GPS accessibility So we can expect even more improvement over time and the addition of several new features have occurred within the first year ### 5/5 — A fabulous GPS solution *2013-10-18, version 1.2* This is the absolute best GPS application for the blind and low vision. I never leave home without it. It is well worth the money. ### 5/5 — Nice job Sendero *2013-10-17, version 1.2* This app just works! Simple to use, a nice blend of voice over, sound effects and wav files to keep me in the know of my nearby pois, upcoming intersections and route turns! I love the look around feature for pois and intersections. Easy to create either a pedestrian or vehicle route and the getting warmer route is really cool. Shake to repeat the location screens where am I info or next turn in a route is a great feature! I can't wait to see what you come up with next! Thanks Sendero, you did it again. Latest version is great. Pois work much better! Great job ### 5/5 — Very good 1.0 version *2013-07-13, version 1.0* This app offers features to blind pedestrians that are not available in other apps. Intersection announcements, look around for points of interest, and more. Positive five star rating based on 1.0 version and the company's history of improving its applications for the blind overtime. ### 5/5 — D Dobler *2013-07-04, version 1.0* Wow! What a great app! I love your work. And I appreciate all the hard work that you do to make this available to us. I don't have a problem paying the price you have set. It's well worth it. The application works flawlessly. Well thought out, well put together, great feedback, I love the look around feature just point your phone. The whole thing is just incredibly well done. Thanks and congratulations to all of you at Sendero group For all your hard work. ### 5/5 — Very comprehensive *2013-07-03, version 1.0* I have used a number of other apps and the Seeing Eye GPS is the most comprehensive app I have used. It's wonderful to have all things in one app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
