VoiceVista

Even though I'm giving this 5 stars, I have two questions: 1. If I'm in Street Preview mode and I get stuck in this mode, how would I exit the mode? 2. What if the sound effects list had all sounds? To make sure users can familiarize themselves and not just the POI and other sounds and even hint sounds,for example, there is one sound effect when the app opens and another when something like a call out is muted. Even though this would be considered an additional feature.

This app gives me the equivalent of street signs and maps that I can explore. I've tried other apps but they're much harder for me to understand because they say the name of the street or other location like it's right in front of me rather than making the sound come from that direction. I can understand the space around me much better with this app. A minor thing is that when I'm running or tandem biking, I like to hear how fast I'm going. Voice Vista tells me this at random whenever it feels like it. How can I ask it for my velocity?

I used Soundscape every day while out walking, so VoiceVista has now earned pride-of-place on the first page of my home screen. The features from Soundscape all appear to be in this new app. Highly recommend for blind travelers who want to explore new places and know where they're at all the time!
