It's a great app. I've not gone out with it yet but I have downloaded it and like what it does. If someone could go on a little walk with it and write here what they think, I think that would be great.

How did you get it? It's US only. I thought you are in the UK.
bradley22 1 points 5y ago
No it's not. I managed to download it as soon as I heard about it from Applevis.

Sure is! US only according to the Microsoft press release I saw. And not in the Canadian app store; I just checked.

Nope. It's in the UK too. Check the FAQ. Here's the link, the heading you're looking for is called What countries is Soundscape available at and when will it open up in other countries? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/product/soundscape/faq/

iOS only = disgusting

Sounds very much like Blind Square with 3D audio announcements, but it lacks the ability to drop markers anywhere we want (at least according to the FAQ), which makes it functionally inferior to Blind Square because dropping markers at bus stops, train stations, and people's homes is something that I consider a requirement in this kind of application. Unfortunately I can't test it because my iPhone is too old and I live in Portugal.
