Candle – Blind Navigation
Navegación
Gratis · Diseñado para iPad. No verificado para macOS.
Candle helps blind and visually impaired people find their way. The app is built for VoiceOver from the ground up: large buttons, clear announcements and vibration instead of looking at a map.
COMPASS
• Direction by vibration: Candle vibrates when you point your iPhone north or in one of the eight compass directions, and announces it.
• Compass to a destination: hold the iPhone in front of you – Candle tells you the direction and distance to your destination.
PLACES NEARBY
• Explore: cafés, restaurants, pharmacies, ATMs, bus stops, taxi stands, hospitals, public toilets, pedestrian crossings and traffic lights with sound signals – sorted by distance while you walk.
• Radar: point your iPhone in a direction and hear which places are there.
• Wikipedia: articles about sights around you.
YOUR PLACES AND ROUTES
• Save favourite places – from your current position or by address search, also by voice.
• Walking navigation to saved places, with announcements you choose: detailed or short.
• Location notes: leave a hint at a spot, e.g. "stairs after the door" – when you pass it with Candle open, your iPhone vibrates and Candle tells you the hint. Add a new one quickly with a long press on the Candle icon.
• Share places as a link and receive them from family and friends.
PRIVACY
No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Your places and location notes stay on your device. For maps, places and routes Candle uses open services such as OpenStreetMap.
OPEN SOURCE

A clearer layout:
• Tidier home screen: everything for "here and now" on top, with "Explore" and "Location Radar" as tiles below.
• Tips and Settings are their own tabs in the bottom bar now; open the app info via the (i) at the top right.
• Map (without VoiceOver): shows your position and follows you as you walk. "Center" brings you back to the middle, and tapping a place starts navigation.
• Location Radar: share a place or save it as your own — by swiping left or as a VoiceOver action.
