I am traveling solo for the first time overseas in about a week. I am using Delta.
As I understand it, their wifi service only extends to messaging and nothing else, even if you pay for it.
So, I was wondering which blindness apps, if any, could be used aboard.
For instance, which apps do all their processing offline?
I am looking for the best ways to be the most independent aboard the flights and I figure, if I can use apps, that would further increase this independence.
Hello, I just got blindsquare, and was wondering if when you use the app can yu change the measurements somewhere from kilometers to miles? All of the distances are measured in language used in other countries. for us in the states can we change this?
Hi,
After a recent update to Blindsquare it is continually crashing when the app is started. Only the welcome music is played and the BlindSquare home screen appears briefly and then the app disappears.
App version: 5.30
iOS version: 15.3
iPhone 8
I have deleted and reinstalled the app but the problem persists.
Anyone know how this problem can be resolved?
Thanks,
Tim
Greetings.
A couple of days ago, I was walking in a semi-unfamiliar area so I decided to drag out my trusty BlindSquare GPS. When I approached what I believed would be an intersection, I was hearing no announcement of it from the app. So, I slowed, then stopped, still no announcement. So, I finally did a "nearby intersections" option and it said the intersection was 30 feet from my location. (The accuracy that day was 15 or 16 feet.)
Hello everyone, I try to use blindsquare and often blindsquare announces that a particular shop is on 3 ocklock although I know with 100 percent certainty that it is on 9 o'clock. While it does not matter in the area which I am familiar with it is an inconvenience when I am travelling around an area that I don't know. I have iphone 6 plus nad ios 9.2 and I carry my iphone in a pouch on my belly, where the pouch hangs down from my neck and the iphone can move inside in my pouch, however, I was told that this should not be an issue. I have also orientation locked on my iphone.
Hi, I would love to see a podcast on blindsquare. Is it possible Applevis could please do one on blindsquare? Thanks.
I'm intrigued by the feature in BlindSquare that lets you simulate being at a different location, for purposes of planning routes and checking out what's around your destination. Is there any way of doing this with a distant location (i.e., one outside the maximum search radius)? My wife and I are going to be spending a few days in the city for her birthday and I was hoping to plan some surprises for her. I'd like to use BlindSquare to figure out what will be in our vicinity, plan some routes, etc.
Hello,
A friend asked me a question about Blindsquare that I am not sure about since I don’t use it. So I was hoping some Blindsquare users can answer a couple of questions.
How much data does it use? Would a GPS like Tom Tom help it use less data? I read the description and it just said a flat rate data plan is recommended.
If you can please answer this I would appreciate it. You can find data usage of the app by going to settings> Cellular> usage for Blindsquare.
Thank you.
Hello,
I just baught the Blind Square and so far so good. Is there a way to get the app to give me measurements in imperial units instead of metric units? I've looked at the user guide and probably have missed it.
Thanks in advance for bailing me out again.
Does anyone know if the blink home monitoring app is accessible? My mom bought a couple of those doorbells.
Is there any way to completely block voicemail messages from blocked numbers? I notice that there is a Blocked folder under voicemail with a bunch of messages in it, which are taking up space on my phone. Is there any way to completely block these messages from coming through at all? Apparently, text messages are blocked, but voicemail messages are not.
How do I permanently block a patantial stocker from harassing me? I asked him to stop contacting me, but he will not. I turned off FaceTime and iMessages. Also I blocked him and reported it as spam to Apple, through the iMessage app. But I’m still getting emails from him. So what do I do now to stop him from for good!!!!!
Short and sweet: Is there a way to block an asshole on Clubhouse? I don't wanna report them, but I definitely want them to never be able to contact me, and vice versa.
Hello All,
Please forgive me for being a little obtuse but I don't seem to be able to figure out how to block text messages anymore. I have successfully acheived this in the past but have forgotten how I did it. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks for your help.
I am looking for an app where I can read blogs from my friends. I'm not so much looking for one where I can blog myself in-app. I'm mainly just looking for one where I can read the blogs of others, but it's fine if one has a blogging feature, too.
I'm looking for an accessible app where I will be able to read blogs from popular blogging sites like Tumblr, Blogspot and WordPress.
My app is to help find Blue Badge Parking locations around the UK. I did find a very kind person called Dan Gibson who has a web site with over 7300 locations worldwide, the vast majority here in UK. It has a few unique features to help all users who are sighted and a couple for those with poor vision. Since its release I have had a request to improve Voice Over functionality as I didn’t design the app for people like me as I can’t drive anymore but it was pointed out they also like to help their partners find parking spaces.
