In the future we will introduce premium features including higher localization accuracy and these will be part of a subscription plan. ** App details Headphones are needed to hear the waypoints. Even though we use spatial audio, any headphone model will work. For the best experience, we recommend open headphones so you are always aware of the world around you. For an amazing experience we will support selected hearables. Stay tuned! ** Behind the scenes An intuitive experience requires that the virtual content is displayed flawlessly. We use state-of-the art computer vision methods to determine the location of the user within the world. We take the latest augmented reality toolkits, global positioning advances and machine learning methods, combine them with some magic and obtain the position with incredible accuracy. **Spatial audio Spatial audio simulates the way people naturally understand sound locations. When a phone rings, or a friend calls, you immediately turn your head. Spatial audio does the same and we use this to help you find the next waypoint in the easiest way.

When searching for a destination it shows me places in the US even though i'm in the UK, and can't find places that are near me locally. Also description is misleading, this isn't the worlds first spacial navigation app, soundscape was around long before this. The sounds are also poor and distracting especially for someone who is blind, they distract from actually being able to concentrate on what's around me. The settings screen also has a button with no VoiceOver label. Just glad I didn't pay for this app. I will keep it on my phone to see how it develops, but very poor at the moment. **Developer response:** Dear alexwallis646, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about our app. We are sorry to hear that you experienced issues with waveOut, and we understand how frustrating this can be.
