Hi Steve. I was told that Get There uses open Source Maps and is not as
reliable as Google Maps. I am going to purchase a Motorola E4 this weekend and
will be testing these apps again as I haven’t used them since 2015 as I had a
Samsung Galaxy S5 then. I already have a copy of KNFB Reader on Android so
reading documents shouldn’t really be a problem even on a budget phone.

Hi Saqib,
Can we not reproduce Blindsquare on Android?
There is GetThere, NotNav/NowNav, Nearby Explorer Online, I think most
functionality is there. I haven't used Blindsquare in years.

Hi. My suggestion is to try Android before you make your decision.
Android is accessible as IOS and the only reason I still have an
iPhone is because of the BlindSquare app. I also find that dictation
works far better for me on Android.
