WIZIGO® IS THE TRAVEL ASSISTANT FOR THE VISUALLY IMPAIRED Wizigo is the first community-based GPS that allows a visually impaired person to find their way around town using spatialized sound. The user prepares his route by placing waypoints on the map, directly on his smartphone or computer. Wizigo will then guide him/her with discreet and intuitive sound indications. The user knows at any time if he is in the right direction or if he has to change direction and can also consult his points of interest nearby. Wizigo allows you to make all your trips autonomously, without having to memorize them. It makes journeys incredibly fast and easy: virtual audio waypoints replace tangible elements of location, tracking and orientation. Thus, a large city square without fixed landmarks will not be bypassed, but can be crossed. The community aspect of Wizigo is based on the sharing of routes, danger zones and points of interest. When a user identifies a danger zone, he/she reports it. The Wizigoths community is notified in real time and its members can anticipate and adapt their routes. A web interface is also available to prepare your trips in advance on your computer: http://www.mywizigo.com The application is entirely free, with no time limit. Note: Continuous use of GPS in the background can significantly reduce battery life. The Wizigo application will automatically shut down if it is in the background and the user is not following a sound route.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Candle at none against Wizigo's 1. Candle also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 months). Wizigo's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
