Category Search
Instead of entering your own search terms, you can also list all of the places around you that belong to a Foursquare category of your choice. The Foursquare categories are listed on the main screen.
Double tap
When you double-tap one of the Category buttons, BlindSquare will present you with a screen that lists all of the places that fall into this category and that are within your currently selected radius.
The screen displays three lists:
- Places sorted according to their popularity on Foursquare.
- Places sorted according to their distance from you.
- A list of subcategories that belong to the current main category.
Each of these three lists has a heading. If you set your VoiceOver rotor to headings, you can quickly jump to the list that is of interest to you by swiping up or down.
Selecting the entry that you would like to view
You can now double-tap the entry you would like to view. If you double-tap one of the subcategories, you will be taken to another screen that again lists all of the places that are in this subcategory. For example, double-tap the Travel & Transport main category. On the following screen, you will see a list of stations, hotels, and bus stops etc. that are in your vicinity. The list of subcategories contains items such as Airport, Bus Station, Hotel, and Train Station. If you are only interested in places of one subcategory, just open the respective subcategory to view a list of those places.
