## What is Sunu?

Accessible navigation app that provides a simple and inclusive navigation experience to users with limited vision and blindness. The Sunu App comes with a set of handy features to inform you of streets and intersections, find places around you, guide you with turn-by-turn directions, and more. 

The Sunu App can be paired to a Sunu Band to enable the user to access all navigation features of the Sunu App on-the-go, without having to take their phone out of the pocket, providing a more practical and convenient interphase while moving around. 
The Sunu Band is a smart bracelet that works as a complementary mobility aid to the white cane or guide dog by preventing accidents to the upper body and augmenting independance. 

The Sunu Band uses sonar sensing and vibratory feedback to inform the user of obstacles around with discreet vibrations on the wrist, the real-time directional feedback enables the user to react with enough anticipation providing a more responsive and comfortable experience. The Sunu Band comes equipped with more features, like telling the time with discreet vibrations, telling cardinal direction with hand-pointing, finding your phone, and more.  

NOTE: the Sunu App requires access to your location in the background to provide you with core features when your iPhone is locked, like inform you of streets and intersections, finding places around, and guide you with turn-by-turn directions.

### 1/5 — App works great with VoiceOver, but no band to try for myself.

*2022-09-18, version 7.0.1*

The reason why I gave this one star, as for the following “. “Move your arm naturally. You don’t have to lift  your arm to detect obstacles.“Why would this be, if you have to do the upper arm body protection technique anyway for the tree branch 50 feet ahead of you if that tree branch is detected? I will not be using this. I will find another way. This is not acceptable, not having to lift your arm, and possibly getting hurt.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2020-12-30, version 6.6.6*

I got a Sunu Band for Christmas, and thought it may be useful. Less than a week later, and it’s indispensable! The indoor mode helped me navigate my punk band’s shared practice space without bumping into equipment or breaking social distancing. The watch helps me sleep, because I no longer rely on my phone and all its distractions for the time. Highly recommending, and highly grateful for Sunu.

### 5/5 — Stronger, better, and more to offer.

*2020-07-24, version 2.5.3*

I am using the beta version of this app right now, and they have finally made improvements to this app where it is very similar to the version on android, and they have made several improvements to the way the app looks and works, with many more options, and capabilities. However with the beta there are as expected some problems. When you try to click on certain buttons, they do not activate for example the update button does not work along with the calibration feature, and I will report more as I spot them, and there are some new features as well that I think I could use some description next to some of the options. Other than that, the app seems to work very well, and I can still use the band without any problems. I also ask that you keep an eye on the battery gauge part of this app, because my battery is constantly listed as 0%, no matter what battery power the band has and how long the band has been on the charger. LOL. With many more options and customizable settings it brings a whole new avenue to this product however some of the buttons in some of the tabs just need to be able to activate now. I am very much enjoying this app and the products, and I’m excited to see what the future brings. Thank you to everyone at Sunu inc. thank you for making a beautiful and fairly inexpensive watchband that helps us blind and visually impaired people give less kisses to inanimate objects and more of them to our significant other. LOL.

### 3/5 — Sunu works OK

*2018-04-22, version 2.0.0*

Have just started using the device recently. So far it has worked as every ties and there is a possibility of a higher rating in the future. Ok

### 4/5 — The app for a cool sensory augmentation device

*2018-02-07, version 1.8.3*

Still contains bugs but developers are responsive to feedback. Very accessible.
