Suggestion for improving
I have heard great things about this app and decided to try it. I haven’t gotten a call yet but think a great change would be adding availability for those who are volunteering. (So we can add our work schedules in order to not interfere with drive times and such) some of us have different availability every week so I think adding an option for updating your schedule weekly vs having a set schedule or syncing with our calendar would be great!

8 year volunteer
I first downloaded BeMyEyes in 2018 and became a volunteer. I love getting calls. I tell all my friends about them. Then they sign up to volunteer, too. It’s such a fun ripple effect, and a great way to assist someone. App has significantly improved (especially the critical “torch” feature) over the years. Thank you for building and maintaining this amazing app for visually impaired friends ❤️

upgrade?
maybe when you're in a facetime call, you can answer the be my eyes call and it will hang up your facetime call because i just missed another be my eyes call and i am super upset 😓
Volunteer
Receiving a call and being able to help someone with that call is the most amazing feeling ever. I think this app offers so many useful applications. The reward truly goes both ways.
DO NOT RELY ON THIS APP!
Do not rely on this app. I am low vision. This app continuously has an OCR bug when taking a photo of something to get the description it reads the first couple lines on repeat. Then it straight up refuses to read the rest of the description. I’ve had this problem numerous times and I’ve even reported it to the support people multiple times. After not acknowledging that this is a serious problem For people who rely on the service I have been ghosted with no resolution. It is incredibly irresponsible for this developer to market this app for people who are low vision and blind as an accessibility feature. This app provides inaccessibility as its core feature. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

First Call
Just answered my first call. I am so happy I am able to help . It made my day!
6 years and here to stay
I’ve been on this app 6 years and have been able to do a handful of calls which have been a great experience. It’s so wonderful being able to help people and honestly it’s so beautiful seeing how many volunteers are on this app !! It’s a beautiful thing! I just wish there was a log to show how many calls you’ve answered

Great opportunity
Who doesn’t love a way to be able to help people! I’m not always quick enough to answer the calls when they come through, but I have enjoyed every opportunity to be able to assist someone who is visually impaired.
Amazing App
Easy to use. And helping others. Can’t lose.
Wonderful App
I love being able to help people using this app
Great App!!
As a sighted person, I am more than happy to offer my assistance to the vision loss/blind community. This app is a small way to help out, but has the ability to provide a big impact on those that use the service.
I’m not sure what the other side of the app looks like for someone with vision loss, however, if there was a way to provide feedback on sighted people or better yet review/rate them, I think it would help filter out those that may not take it as seriously as others. This way the blind community can get what they need in an efficient, polite manner and have a better overall experience from “verified” sighted users.
All in all, great app and I’m happy to be a part of the volunteer side.

Amazing app
Fantastic app that more people should know about! Use it as a seeing volunteer & although I only rarely get calls (due to so many other helpful people answering them) it always feels so worthwhile to be able to help someone even in a very small way. What a great use of internet and I hope many more people are able to use it and it continues to grow

Repeating voice feedback
This tool is highly useful, but the voice output relating 4+ times after taking a picture significantly reduces its utility. Is this a known issue? Both a family member and I are experiencing this exact problem.
Happy to help…
Wonderful service!
The Best Idea
This is an incredible tool for those in need and those who like to help others. App works really well!
Quero abraçar quem criou este app
Parabéns pela iniciativa e simplicidade de resolver um problema dos deficientes visuais.
Très bon concept, mais encore quelques éléments à rajouter
Je donne la note maximale pour le concept, mais l’application a encore beaucoup de marge de progression. Par exemple, il serait judicieux de pouvoir définir des plages horaires de disponibilité pour éviter les notifications pendant le travail ou le soir, si l’on souhaite ne pas être dérangé. Malgré cela, le concept est une excellente idée. Bravo !
