BlindSquare and Apple Watch?

watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Do the 2 work together at all? I read in Blind Square's app entry that they do, and someone mentioned it out here. But I can't get the app to even show on the list of apps to run on my watch. So if the 2 do play nicely together, can someone give me a few pointers on getting started? If they don't, are there any GPS apps for the blind that do work with the watch?

Well, if you open the Watch app on your iPhone, all apps that appear as apps that are installed or not installed on your watch are the apps on your iPhone that also have a watch version of the app.

So if BlindSquare doesn't show up on the list, as I have it installed on my iPhone and it too does not appear in the Watch app, that means that the developpers of BlindSquare have not made a watch version of the app. I too have looked at the app entry on AppleVis and the fact that they've indicated that there was a watch app. Well, either one was originally made a while ago and the developper's of BlindSquare eventually removed it, or the person who entered the app entry on the site made a mistake.

If a watch app did exist, it was probably over 2 years ago as I've had the BlindSquare app for over three years and an Apple Watch for almost 2 years and I never recall seeing a watch version of the app. Sorry to disappoint.

HTH!

That's what I was afraid of, but just posted on the off chance I was missing something. Thanks for clarifying; hopefully someday, there really will be a Blind Square app for the Apple Watch.
