Lazarillo - Accessible GPS

for blind and low vision

Features & Capabilities

LazarilloApp the GPS for people who are blind or have low vision, lets you explore the world around you and set up routes.

Lazarillo is a specialized GPS app that brings mobility tools for people who are blind. Using audio messages, Lazarillo will tell you about nearby places,

the street you are walking on, street intersections in your way and more! Like a radio, Lazarillo will announce the things around you while you are moving.

This app was designed and implemented with active feedback from people who are blind.

The GPS resource is used even if the App is in the background. This allows the user to keep using the app without active usage of the screen, so they can

still enjoy the features of Lazarillo even when their phone is in their pocket or when using other relevant apps.

Note : "Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life."

This app allows you to use its accessibility functions for free, just requires mobile data or a Wi-Fi connection.

To collaborate with people who are blind, Lazarillo's main feature is to become the user's companion, providing essential information that allows displacement and autonomy.

The goal is to help the person reach the chosen place in a simple way, receiving Lazarillo indications by voice and notifications of nearby places, institutions,

shops, etc, allowing communication between the user and the city.

The app contains the following features:

Exploration: Provides your actual position, nearby places, and street intersections while you are walking on the street, in a bus or by car.

Category searches: Allows to find nearby places from a specific category such as banks, health, food, shop, art, entertainment, etc.

Specific searches: Allows to find a route to any place using voice or keyboard.

Help information:

Lazarillo provides information about establishments that work with blind or visually impaired people. The app is linked to a web platform where the institutions

are able to show important information about events, courses, workshops, and any data that a blind person may need. In that way Lazarillo collaborates

with these institutions improving the communication among users, providing better connectivity between people with visual disabilities.

User Reviews

Users praise Lazarillo for showing intersections and nearby places and for fast, category-based exploration. However, recurring issues include mandatory sign-in with login problems and unreliable navigation cues (inaccurate directions and distance prompts). Addressing onboarding flow and data accuracy would likely improve reliability and user adoption.
Pros
  • Displays intersections and nearby places/categories to aid navigation.
  • Described as fast and efficient navigation that helps users get around quickly.
  • Allows exploring categories and points of interest around the user (e.g., public buildings, bars, restaurants).
Cons
  • Requires sign-in to explore features, with multiple reports of login/signup issues.
  • Navigation cues are often inaccurate or inconsistent (turn prompts, distance announcements, and overall route guidance).

I need help. The app doesn't work properly for me, because when I want to start exploring, or follow a favorite address, when I press the follow location button it takes me out of the app to the home screen of my phone. I need some kind of help to solve this problem.

App doesn’t allow exploration of its features as a guest without forcing users to sign in first.

If I could give a negative star for this app, I would. I am sighted and work with the visually impaired. This app was very difficult to hear, it gave incorrect directions, and it directed me to a store that no longer existed! I will never suggest this app for anyone!!
