Strange that good old Mikey May is still trying to squeeze every single penny possible out of the blindness community--well, not strange at all, but very sad. Especially if the app is inferior to blind square. I'll take $15 for life any day. $70 a year is more than Garmin and all of the other major GPS providers charge--as a Seeing Eye graduate I am let down by their business decision.
