What is the BlindSquare app?
BlindSquare app
BlindSquare is an accessible GPS app, specifically designed for low vision and blind iOS device users. The app helps you travel independently by describing the surrounding environment, and announcing points of interest and street intersections as you travel around. BlindSquare is available at a special price for all Bell Mobility customers with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices.
How does it work?
The BlindSquare app announces points of interest, intersections and user-defined points through a dedicated speech synthesizer. BlindSquare determines your location using your device’s GPS capabilities. It then looks up information about your surroundings and presents the information most useful to you. It does not require you to touch buttons on your device screen, since you can perform many functions using the physical buttons on your headset or Bluetooth speaker.
What can you do with the app?
You can use BlindSquare for a variety of purposes, such as finding the most popular coffee shop nearby, or locating the nearest bank or transit stop. Simply shake your device and BlindSquare will tell you your current address, as well as information about the location of the nearest street intersection and venues around you. BlindSquare will periodically announce the distance and direction while you are traveling to a specific destination.

Bell Mobility customers with an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch can get the BlindSquare app at the exclusive price of $9.99 plus tax (retail value $54.99).*
