Cheers to a great start to the Seeing Eye GPS app! I enjoyed the podcast,
it was well done and I encourage other people on the list to listen to the
podcast. By listening to the podcast, my understanding of both pricing and
development of the app has made me fully aware of the challenges developers
faced. As a user of both BrailleNote GPS and now the Seeing Eye, I feel that
it is a lot cheaper for me to pay the $69 as opposed to asking Department of
Rehab to renew my BN subscription. I enjoy the flexibility that Sendero has
given me and I will wholeheartedly support them in future app releases. Keep
up the good work Mike, Charles and all, and there will always be concerns
and as mike said in his podcast, "Beattings" from the audience. Thanks for
reading and thanks for a great start to a future success of the app.

It is true that Apple does not offer either trials or monthly subscriptions.
Suppliers have found ways to do this outside Apple and we will see what is
involved in this. As I made clear in the podcast, we originally wanted to
have a monthly subscription for this app but that was not as easy as I
hoped.
Also, as I said, 90% of apps do not turn a profit. Expecting the price to be
lower than it is so that Sendero does not stay in business or does not
improve features, is pretty short-sighted.
There are other options for navigation information so if folks are not
comfortable spending $69 based on Sendero's reputation of 13 years
developing accessible GPS or the feedback of other users, vote with your
credit card. The beauty of the market these days is that you have options
and that is a very good thing. Many people think Seeing Eye GPS is an option
but there are other choices. Heck, we even got complaints about the $4.99
price for Sendero Lookaround. Seems embarrassing.
I'd love to see the dialog get off the dirt cheap IOS price point and on to
features and functionality.

Hi all,
The features list on which people can vote made no mention of a cheaper
subscription option, and I did not write one in since that seems more a
pricing decision than an app feature. I just wanted to remind Sendero that,
at least from what I've seen, they are losing a lot of business since people
do not want to drop $70 on the hearsay of others. The lack of a cheap
subscription, or even a "lite" version of the app with restricted features,
is a major sticking point which should, I feel, be addressed in addition to
the app features now being voted on.
Have a great day,
