Be My Eyes App Reviews

Its not working in iphone 4. It would be great if these problems solved.

The app needs to show callers language when ringing. Otherwise multilingual helpers cant know which language to answer with and the blind doesnt speak or just shuts off. Also must have an option to select available hours.

Welldone!

Im sorry to say that, but the app doesnt work at all on my iPhone 5s. Tried installing, uninstalling, I even update app and my OS today, still crashes right after registration. Its really frustrating

The apps crashed after I logged in. I tried to delete and reinstall, but right after I logged in, it crashes.

Cant use this app

wherever i try to open the app it just shuts down

In event of low speed internet connection, app try to connect me with blind person but it failed. In result no help provided by me but scores have earned. With high speed no such issue occurred.

Good idea. Yet as a helper I found no blind asking for help and as a blind I find no helpers offering. Location is Milan, a crowded city in northern Italy. Will leave the app in background for a while and see how it goes

The connection is pretty weak - many times the video is blocked and the sound is breaking too. Its dangerous - I wasnt sure if a traffic light was still green or already red. I used it from wifi but the others 3g and it wasnt enough. Suggestions- please let us know which language the caller uses because I have no idea where the call comes from and what language to use. Otherwise its a great idea and well done.

indeed a very useful app

Higher video resolution please, i almost couldnt read some words on a cd case that was being shown to me. Other then that... Top app!

this great app actually works!!! For those who need sight assistance and those willing to visually assist!!! It works so well that I started thinking that The Developer should create a Language Companion version for people on vacation or otherwise learning on the spot (not studying) who happen to be in another country, especially in countries whose language doesnt use Latin characters (English, Spanish, etc) that someone could atleast attempt to sound out the word. Imagine someone in an Eastern European country or in North Africa or North Asia? Completely different character base of writing, and no way to guess the word or phrase and forget the online translators, you could insert a phrase in English asking for a zoo and the translator could just as easily translate to asking for a live butcher market. (or worse, some form of insult or even criminal intent). Also, rstone is ok for some people who are receptive to learning in the way they use, but as a native speaker of 5 languages, I can say that if created, this type of app would be like having a native speaker of not just the language, but even of the country or local dialect in a country region (or a bunch of people along with someone on vacation or has moved to another country for work or other necessity). Developer, Feel free to contact me, Id love to help in this regard. Again, Great App !!! Cheers!!!

I love being able to help the blind and visually impaired through Delta Gamma and this furthers our mission.

This app should have been here a long time a go this app is very helpful I am so happy to have this app right now I have benefited from this app as a blind person

This app is amazing as-is! As a sighted person, I have a few thoughts to really take this app to the next level of helping people with visual impairments (and possibly other disabilities). Many people prefer something simplistic like this app. However, I could see a companion app being made with an entire social network. -- People could friend each other so they can re-request help from the same people. -- When a disabled person gets excellent assistance, the helper could receive a rating of some kind (and high quality ratings could lead to more calls for help). It would also be nice if a blind person could show appreciation by sending free e-gifts or even real gift cards. Most people just aim to be helpful and dont expect anything in return, but when someone does something above and beyond to help me with my physical disability, I feel that its important to show my gratitude somehow so I wont feel like Im taking advantage of others time and efforts. You could also make it possible to earn mPoints where helping someone will earn points, and high ratings and being given e-gifts will earn a boatload of mPoints as a reward, which can then be traded for free gift cards or prizes. (Im certain mPoints would work with you to make this happen!) -- Sighted people could turn their availability on or off so they wont be disturbed at a bad time. -- Sighted people could use hashtags and write detailed profiles that indicate their special skills (i.e. Im a higher ed mentor/tutor and teacher who could assist with homework help, I could list my computer and tech proficiencies, I could list the languages I speak, my fashion sense, my experience with children, my age, etc.), and then disabled people could search for people with particular skills (and have the profile read to them to get more information) to get the best possible help. -- If immediate help isnt available, there could be a public Twitter-like stream where requests for help can be posted with video and/or photo and written description. Any addressed issues that are helped in this manner would be marked as helped so a disabled person isnt bombarded with answers. Additionally, friends could post requests on each others wall that will be seen when their friend becomes available again. This is just some possibilities that could be made available with a more social network-like app. I still think this simplistic app is best for many people, but others could surely benefit from a second app with the added features of a network. Please work on developing this! Also, open up community beta testing via TestFlight! I have 19 years experience with testing hardware/software and would love to help ensure that the app remains bug-free and 100% usable by the people who rely on it most!

installed app like a year ago, and only had one request for help. The user showed me his back yard and was just wanting to test the app. Then the connection suddenly froze and couldn’t even say bye to him. So far I have not received any more requests. So I’m not sure if this app works. If it ever lets me help a blind person I’ll check back in.

This app is amazing. It makes me feel good that I am able to help someone else. I have been the eyes for several people. Share this app with others! It doesnt cost a dime to help someone out! Pay it forward! Be kind to one another!

Ive had this app on my phone since it was first released and finally got the opportunity to help someone for the first time today. Yes, the calls you will receive as a sighted person are few and far between, BUT that should be a good thing! It means that there are many people being assisted and even more people that want to help! Love this app and the feeling you get with it. Thank you!

I heard about this app from Spike, who is a member on a local morning radio show, Mojo In The Morning, here in Detroit. I grew up with a sister who was visually impaired and I cant say I was the nicest to her growing up; but I have seen the difficulties she has endured; After hearing about this app, I downloaded it to see if I could truly help others. As of today, Ive helped 2 people with a task and a question; and it gives me a good feeling knowing that I am helping someone get thru their day! I have recommended this app to all my friends and family; in hopes to have even more help for the visually impaired! Awesome app!
