Great app.

This is a great app. I am totally blind, and I have been using the app all day since I got it last night. it is important, to go to the website read the instructions, follow the instructions and then try using the app. Note, I'm using 3 G.

Wonderful, very helpful app!

This app is great for the price! I've only used it to scan UPC codes so far, and this has been very helpful for identifying items like canned goods in my kitchen. It took some playing around to find the best way to get the camera to capture the code, but it gets easier and easier with practice! I'm looking forward to using the other features!

Works better on 4s

Just retested with the 4s and was able to identify a soop can. Still found the process frustrating

May be better with newer phone.

Quite difficult to scan factory bar codes with my 3gs, needs good light and a lot of luck. Basically a waste of money for me considering how little I use it and how poorly it reads my cans and boxes.

Does professional - quality work - really delivers!

I am not only using this app as it is intended, I am showing it off and amazing everyone with it - especially with my refreshable braille device paired to my iPhone 4. In this way, using the text-labels, Digit - Eyes is accessible and practical for deaf-blind individuals also! Great job with this app! I would LOVE to see the next version include the option to pause while recording a label, with a slider to advance it, back it up, or add to an existing recorded label. This way, we could record entire recipes, etc. in a single label. I'm proud of this app!

Beyond Amazing

Light years ahead of similar apps. I work with the blind and sight impaired and this app will improve lives and improve independence. Thank you!

Unusable and Useless!

Have used version 1 and 1.0.1 and was waiting for an update before writing a review. I have attempted to use the bar code scanning aspect many, many times and all times, it never works! This is a rip off and certainly not worth $30! This should not be considered a bar code scanner. There are apps that are free or very low cost, which do a way better job than this worthless app.

Highly Recommended!!!

Simply put, this app is wonderful and I'd highly recommend it! The camera improvements of the iPhone 4 further enhance the app's functionality,making it even faster and easier scanning bar codes and labels alike.

I needed to scan two identically shaped bottles of hair care products and Digit-Eyes made this possible in under five seconds for each bottle with my iPhone 4 and no special lighting conditions. Thanks and kudos to Digital Miracles for making such a great product!!!

Digit Eyes app is a step forward

I have been waiting for an app which is taking advantage of iOS 4 and the iPhone 4 great camera, and goes beyond what apps like Red Laser do.
This app allows the creation of custom barcodes to label things like medication, clothes and many other items for easy identification, by those who are visually impaired or blind.
By logging into the website, one can create audio or text labels, and attach these custom labels for easy scanning later.
I tested these larger custom labels. They are easy to scan and are recognized very fast by the app, handy for attaching to items which can be difficult to identify without sighted help.
It is also useful for those who are visually impaired to be able to scan codes upside down or vertically, something that other barcode scanning apps do not do.
I believe the App could use a little more work as in having the ability to keep a record for export of scanned items for inventory purposes.
I am eagerly awaiting further development of the app, and feel it is priced reasonably.

Great! New version fixed all my problems!

I was disappointed when I couldn't get it to run on my new iPhone 4, but the new version has fixed that and the app runs great! Very cool concept.
