Hi Carol
I tend to agree with you, also being a casual user. I also think that if it
is going to be around £6 a month, it wouldn't be viable for me personally as
I would rather put that money to something more useful. This isn't a
criticism, just a thought from my own perspective.
I really must read this guide and either confirm or rethink my initial
doubts on one or two things.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

IT's RNIB Navigator.
Does anyone know who's been working on it at the RNIB that we might contact
with some comments, please?
It's a good start but, if we're to continue to pay on a monthly basis, which
is how it appears to me, I'd sure like to see more information given and to
know what commitment Sendero is going to give to continue to develop the
app.
I've personally been a little disappointed with the POIS for which i've
searched. Surely, RNIB and Sendero should be liaising quickly with 4Square
about those places which just don't have enough information. I was looking
for the Barclays banks in our area and only found mine by inputting just the
word "Barclays" because the second word was "Premier". When i finally found
what I thought was the right one, I couldn't check the address because there
wasn't one and I'm not 100 percent sure of its direction from our home.
With the various apps available over the past few years, we've always had so
many POIS which just haven't been adequate and I feel it's time that those
creating the apps should put in more effort to ensure information is
obtained so that we don't have to go through this stage of not getting the
information we need yet again!
Anyway, as I've said, it's a good start but there are probably enough apps
out there that give us more information and are free at present. (If this is
not so, please tell me because I'm no expert in this field, just a casual
user from time to time!
