Community Voice & Feedback
I had gotten my first call and unfortunately I had to disconnect with the woman early because she was showing me bracelets and when I went to use the flash light feature it made the entire screen blurry.
This app is amazing and helping will make you feel so good. Just be sure you’re really available when you take a call, because it could be long and it could be a navigation call which can be intimidating and take a while. I would still say absolutely sign up.
I have answered three phone calls and they’ve been flawless. I am personally blind in my left eye and feel that helping others with my one good eye is a blessing. The people I have helped have been so thankful also.
I couldn't imagine getting through my day without this app. It has improved the quality of my life 100%. I especially like the AI function. I use it every morning to read the screen on my blood pressure machine. I use it to read receipts. I use it to figure out what color makeup I am putting on my face. His app has brought accessibility into the 21st-century. And the fact that I do not have to pay for it is a plus even though if I had to, I would.
Tremendously helpful for the blind. Both the AI OCR as well as the volunteer callers provide a great service. Easy to use. Integral part of my every day or every week life.
Calls only take a few minutes usually, and it’s always so rewarding!
I0 out of 10 always
I want to thank the developers for this app, which I find to be very accurate, easy to use and very compatible with my iPhone and also Meta glasses. It is one of the most responsive and accurate apps I have found as a visually impaired person. As a pastor, it has revolutionized my ability to quickly scan and read documentation and scan my surroundings. Thanks again for the work on this game changing app.
This amazing app has helped me in many desperate situations and volunteers. I can’t thank them enough For finding buttons on my microwave temperature control in hotel rooms and crossing the street  Mark R
Volunteer: I’m a night owl and my aunt told me about this app since I could be a rare person available to help at, say 3am. Then I find out you only get calls btwn 8am and 9pm in your time zone. You should give the option to “work” the hours you want to. And yes I realize other time zones are available when it’s 3am in my area but do you really want to put a restriction on when people can help someone who needs it?
I have never felt this particular sense of good in humanity until signing up for this app. I am so happy i found this app, it brings me so much joy being able to help out whenever someone is in need! 10/10 would recommend !
Man bekommt zwar nur sehr selten einen Anruf aber wenn ist es immer eine sehr schöne Interaktion mit den Menschen.
I love this app. It gives you a simple way to help someone who is blind or has low vision with an everyday task that might only take a few minutes. You answer a video call, lend your eyes for a moment, and hopefully make somebody’s day a little easier. It’s easy, worthwhile, and a great example of technology actually bringing people together. Glad I signed up! 💚🌺🍀💎
Great service and easy to use
Very easy to use and help me a lot with my eye condition.
