What Vertigo Cue does
BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is the most common vertigo cause — 2.4% of people get it in their lifetime, mostly women over 50. The fix is the Epley maneuver: a 1-minute sequence of head turns and lying positions that physically moves the loose crystal in the inner ear back where it belongs. The problem with existing Epley apps: they're visual — but you're supposed to lie DOWN with your head TILTED, eyes preferably closed because looking at a screen makes it worse. Vertigo Cue is the only audio-first guided maneuver. Set the side affected (left or right), tap start, lie down, close your eyes. A calm voice + gentle haptic taps walk you through: — Step 1: 'Sit on the edge of the bed. Turn your head 45 degrees to the right. (Three haptic taps.) When ready, lie back quickly and stay.' — Step 2: '30-second hold... 20... 10... begin turning head 90 degrees to the left.' — Step 3...etc. Three maneuvers included: — Epley (most common BPPV) — Brandt-Daroff (alternative when Epley doesn't work) — Half-Somersault (Foster maneuver) Plus a static reference card with the visual diagrams for partners helping. And a calm note: 'If symptoms last more than a week or you have any neurological symptoms, see a doctor — this app does not diagnose.'

Why it exists
The problem
Every existing Epley app is visual-only — but the maneuver requires lying down with head tilted, often when the room is spinning. Looking at a phone screen exacerbates the vertigo. Audio-first guided maneuvers don't exist on iOS.
What's different
How Vertigo Cue stands out
Vertigo Cue is the only iOS BPPV maneuver app designed for eyes-closed execution: voice + AVSpeechSynthesizer narration synchronized with UIImpactFeedbackGenerator haptic taps marking step transitions. Existing Epley Assist is animation-based; the old Slashdot-covered app from 2010 is unmaintained. Three validated man…
