Features & Capabilities

Indigo is a fully accessible turn-by-turn GPS app. It has all the outdoor navigation features you expect plus unique offerings you cannot get anywhere else including extra verbosity for blind users.

Features: Four main tabs are easy to access at the bottom of the screen. Routes, Location, POIs and settings

Indigo has the option to explore POIs or route turning points virtually.

Transit Routes can be created and nearby transit stops will be announced.

A unique Indigo feature: record a route using breadcrumbs called Waypoints. No other accessible app has this. You can add these waypoints with the Add Button or you can shake the phone to create a waypoint. It also automatically records a point after you have gone a certain distance. These waypoint routes can be saved for future use.

The LookAround Wand in the upper right corner tells you what is in the direction your phone is pointing. The More Info button on the Location screen gives the altitude and speed.

Create your own POIs and share your POIs with others or keep them private with a shortcut on the Location page or from the POIs page. POI categories are announced with search results and make finding your destination easier. Audio tones and vibrations give feedback throughout the app letting you know about upcoming turns, critical intersection information and when search is loading

A robust route menu includes multiple methods of choosing a destination starting with a POI and an address from your contact list, your route history and many more.

Settings include many customization options like vibrations, vision contrast, color settings and distance units.

There are announcement options like right/left, clockface, or both.

User Reviews

Indigo Nav is highly praised as an accessible GPS for blind/low-vision users, with features like high-contrast mode, large labels, and reliable turn-by-turn directions with waypoint support. It’s considered essential for campus and daily navigation and is viewed as a long-term, reliable tool. The main recurring criticism is the lack of automatic spoken feedback, with requests for more voice guidance when the screen is locked. Overall sentiment is positive with accessibility and usefulness highlighted.
Pros
  • Excellent accessibility for blind/low-vision users, including high-contrast mode and large labels.
  • Reliable navigation with turn-by-turn directions and waypoint support.
  • Proven usefulness for campus and daily navigation; considered an essential tool by blind users.
  • Longevity and ongoing availability of the app.
Cons
  • Limited automatic spoken feedback; heavy reliance on manual VoiceOver and reduced spoken feedback when the screen is locked.

Great app, very nostalgic as I used to use my Braille Note with Sendero GPS for many many years! I only wish that upcoming intersections could be described with clock face or orientation rather than cardinal directions. Also would love if heading information in degrees could be included in more info. This will be very fun on airplanes.

I will say before I write this that I haven’t used this app in a few months because of the issue I’m about to talk about… That being said this app is a good app with great potential. However, a major issue that I was having with this while working with an orientation and mobility instructor, was that when putting in addresses and locations, POI’s. When it was giving me directions, it seemed to be several hundred feet off base when getting near the location. For example, if I tried to go to the library and put in that address, it would take me 2 to 300 feet away from the library when I got close and I wouldn’t actually get to the library. This was pretty consistent. It least in my area. This is kind of a big deal but if this could be fixed and again it may be I haven’t used it in a few months, then this app can do great things. I’m in northeastern PA for context.
