Exciting News: BlindShell Classic 3 Is Here!

Published: 02. December 2024

November is almost over, and the holiday season is just around the corner! We know this time of year can be a whirlwind as you search for the perfect gifts for your loved ones. So, why not make this year extra special with a thoughtful gift from BlindShell?

Some of you may already be familiar with the BlindShell Classic 3, or maybe you're one of the lucky ones who already have it at home! But for those who haven’t heard, we’ve just recently introduced this phone to the market. And we proudly say that it’s not just another phone.

So What Makes the BlindShell Classic 3 So Exciting?

One of the biggest upgrades is the Tandem app. This platform, designed specifically for BlindShell users, comes preinstalled on the phone. It’s a simple, intuitive communication tool that allows you to make calls or send text and voice messages. Your sighted friends and family can easily download the app on their Android or iOS devices. Tandem also lets someone you trust – like a family member, friend, or support professional – remotely assist you with phone settings, but only with your permission. Whether you need a little guidance or help troubleshooting, Tandem makes sure you’re never alone, even if you’re 1,000 kilometers away.

Another standout feature is Luna, the AI assistant. It’s like having your own personal guide right in your pocket! Luna is intuitive and can help with tasks like setting reminders or waking you up in the morning – we all know how hard it is to get up sometimes, but don’t worry, Luna’s got you covered! She can even share the best pizza recipe – who wouldn’t want to feel like they’re in Rome on a holiday? Luna can also help you make calls, open any app on your BlindShell phone, or dictate text messages. We’re sure you’ll grow to love her!

And now, here’s the really big news: the BlindShell Classic 3 now supports third-party apps! This is a feature many of you have been asking for, and we’re excited to finally deliver it.

While there are already about 50 apps in the BlindShell App Catalog—carefully designed and developed by our team to be safe and fully compatible with the BlindShell interface—now you can also explore a wider variety of third-party apps on your BlindShell.

That said, it’s important to note that BlindShell phones run on their own operating system, so not all third-party apps will be fully compatible. These apps are developed by external companies, and while they open up exciting new possibilities, they may not function perfectly on your BlindShell. This is because these apps are not controlled or endorsed by BlindShell in any way. However, the ability to download apps beyond the BlindShell App Catalog provides you with more flexibility and options to suit your lifestyle.
