WayAround - Tag and Scan

I love using waytags—very fast and convenient. The app usually works pretty well, although I wish they would make the date pickers more accessibility friendly. Maybe with separate month, day, year selectors, instead of the large calendar view that doesn’t even open if you tap on a date. The biggest problem though, is the Waycloud syncing. When you first open the app, it takes between 20 45 seconds to connect to their cloud. The app doesn’t bother to beep or otherwise indicate that it is not connected, or let you know when it has connected, you just have to keep checking the graphical indicator Manually (if you are using the screen reader, as most people are, you can’t just glance at it until it changes). The issue with this, is that if you scan a tag, especially if you create a new tag, before it has connected, The contents of that tag may change after it reaches out to the cloud. So through trial and error, and having several tags that I know were correct originally, become incorrect later, I have learned that the only way for the app to be reliable is to wait until it has the cloud connection. So it would be much more useful if they would block out app usage until the cloud is connected, or at least give you some audible indicator that they are trying to connect to the cloud and you’ll just have to be patient until they do. Otherwise the app becomes unreliable and Even the opposite of useful, because tags get erroneous information.

I use WayAround tags in several applications in both my personal and professional kitchens and they are the ONLY labels in my freezers. I also have more than 30 assorted color chef coats and WayAround buttons allow me to quickly and easily select the one I am looking for independently. I like the system of tagging so much that one is included in the first Blind Kitchen Collection. I want people to know how much easier their lives could be if they decided to use the WayAroundsystem.

I absolutely love these tags! I love to cook and have cooked for 40 years plus. I have organized my kitchen including my pantry, freezer and cupboards :-) these tags make it so simple to identify the products I need without having to ask someone else. I am a very independent person and very self-sufficient. With the way around life is so much simpler :-) thank you so much for your wonderful product you have been a godsend! I would highly recommend these to anyone who is visually impaired or blind to help them organize their life!
