Completely useless and unusable in Australia. Doesn't find any landmarks and is around 50 to 80 metres out when walking along. Thankfully, there are numerous better options out there. Dont bother wasting your time with this app, unless you live in Israel.

hi this feels promissing but ive just been using it to see if im facing the right direction i dont go out much but the location accuracy feels like its good was just thinking if there can be an option to create your own accessible space in the indore mode for example i can map out the rooms and enterances of my house and like describe different spots based on the location im in it felt preety accurate was showing the acuracyof upto 4 meters that with compass direction could be godsent

The application is very good and very helpful but where it lacks is nearby location related things, it only shows locations in Israel and not in India. I hope the developers will fix this.

Hi Aziz, thank you for your feedback, RightHear has outdoor features that are supported in every country. RightHear is a paid system for venues who wants to allow also indoor features for blind visitors.
