5/5Extremely Helpful
I’m so grateful that a volunteer can assist me when a walking alone on the street and reading my labels in the kitchen. They’re friendly people with full of compassion to guide you. It’s #1 service you can have to help visual impaired individuals that loss their eyesight.

Versions

1.0
1.0.1
In this update, you can share Markers and Routes between different devices. We have also updated the feedback email and look forward to receiving feedback.
1.1
Optimisations and enhancements to the core Soundscape experience. Additionally, we are introducing the Recreational Activities feature designed to allow the offline creation and import of routes which can then be shared with a Soundscape Community user, and which provide more information and details of the environment and surroundings. This was developed in close collaboration with Mobility Instructors to support them in the teaching and development of orientation and mobility skills for the range of different people they work with, including those who are blind or have low-vision, or developing navigation and wayfinding capabilities for everyone.
1.1.2
Improvements to the app, updated security settings, and addition of YouTube link to Soundscape Community channel in the 'About Soundscape' option in the Menu.
1.1.3
Bug fixes, improvements to data handling, and Marker management.
1.2
Great new features on repeating the last callout, filtering the nearby places list, and adjust the distance to mute the audio beacon.
1.2.1
Updated pointer to website containing link where donations can be made in support of development of the app. Translation improvements.
1.3
Integration with the original Bose Frames (Alto and Rondo) providing dynamic head tracking for an enhanced Soundscape Community experience. Ability to draw on additional data source based on NaviLens enabled points of interest, bus stops, and landmarks.
1.3.1
Link to NaviLens now available on the Soundscape Community home screen when within range of a NaviLens code.
1.3.2
Soundscape Community integration with NaviLens with improved access to open NaviLens directly from Soundscape via the icon in the information card or options for each relevant point of interest.
1.7
Contains accessibility improvements to the integration with NaviLens designed to improve the flow from one app to the other. Additionally, there are improvements to the text and translations.
1.7.2
Bug fix to address issue with recreational activities.
1.8
Version 1.8 now allows the user to scroll through a list of Markers or Routes and has kept the tab bar at the top of the screen for familiarity and ease of access. It also fixes the bug that caused Soundscape Community to crash after a phone call!
1.8.1
Language updates and tweaks to the user interface
1.8.2
This version has a number of exciting new capabilities we are keen to hear back from our user base on. Firstly, you are now able to set the angle of the beacon so that it is more narrower and precise. Simply go to the Settings menu and in Beacon settings you can adjust the angle of the ringing sound between 1-20 degrees. And, we continue to improve our integration with NaviLens and have made it easier to active NaviLens directly when you are within range of a NaviLens code.
1.8.3
Previous build updated with missing translations!
1.8.4
Enhances and improvement to the user interface regarding accessing and using NaviLens QR codes. Additionally, we have removed the 'Donate' button in the settings menu as it was redundant.
1.8.5 · 23 Jul 2026
Users are now able to share Routes with other Soundscape Community users.
