Hey Alex, Have you used Blind Square also? Would love to hear how Seeing Eye compares to it, if you have any thoughts. I love the developer for Blind Square as he is constantly working on improving the app. My only gripe with Blind Square is the GPS accuracy seems to be off a bit, and I'm not sure if that is just GPS in general. I would love a GPS app that would help me get pretty close to the door of stores, don't know if I am dreaming here, what I love about Blind Square is you just turn it on and it tells you everything around you. I'm sure someone will eventually do a comparison between the two, but from what I can tell with Seeing Eye's price tag, people aren't running out to get it. Thanks for your thoughts.
