Description of App
AI Guide Dog is a powerful obstacle detection application designed specifically for the visually impaired to navigate safely. It detects distance in real time to help avoid nearby obstacles and prevent injuries. Detect the position and guide you in the right direction.
With the power of artificial intelligence, it uses the iPhone's LiDAR scanner or front camera for range measurement and azimuth detection with stability and high accuracy.
Main features:
- Provide sound and vibration feedback indicating the proximity of obstacles.
- Real-time notification of the actual distance of obstacles.
- Compass: real-time location detection, vibration feedback and voice broadcast
- Can adjust the language and speed of the voice broadcast
Warm reminder: Please use the App in a safe environment. The developer does not bear any security responsibility.

The front camera?
Am I understanding this correctly, that this application is utilizing the FaceTime camera?
Yes, on devices without LiDAR.
So you can still use it on devices with Face ID support, but the front camera alone is not enough so I can't use it on my SE 2022.
Good to know
I am using the SE 2022 as well. 🤷
How Dair you!
My guide dog hear by registers his formal protest and says following: Oh, so now an app is the ‘Guide Dog’? Sure, let me just retire, download myself, and start charging at 20% battery. Spoiler: I don’t need a software update to sniff out trouble!
Request to remove dangerous apps likecthis
Mods, this is too far. People have been seriously injured and worse by these navigation apps. This is not acceptable and it is not okay. It is offensive to those of us who are guide dog users. Please do not allow actively harmful, dangerous apps to be hosted on this site and given legitimacy they do not deserve.
To the app creator, shame on you for putting people in damper like this. I have reported you to Apple for putting peoples lives at risk.
LIDAR based navigation apps
I have my own doubts about the real world accuracy of these sorts of apps. That said, it is here to stay. I don't know why Apple would remove it given that they literally have this function built in on IOS of Iphones with LIDAR cameras. These apps will eventually get better and useable. I don't see any use in censoring them. I would imagine blind people are smart enough to use due caution with any new technology. We are not kids.
Request for more app verification in future
Apple isn’t trying to tell people to use their LIDAR for their safety.
Looking further into it, this app appears to be a scam. The website is all auto generated and barely matches the app store description. But if someone wants to risk it, feel free to tell us what happens to your phone.
All that being said, this is just plain offensive. I’m not the only guide dog user here absolutely disgusted by the trivialization of my partner’s amazing work so some bootlegger can scam a few more bucks out of the blind.
Oh my God
The things that people can be offended by now a days are stunning. I am impressed how some poor developer is not yet offended by the usage of AI and dog in the same sentence. Let alone those poor guides, who I imagine are facing quite a conundrum, being in the middle of artificial intelligence and dogs and all that.
