### 2/5 — awful mechanics!

*2026-05-27, version 3.5.4*

so basically my dad has tried this app and has tried to scan stuff everything pretty much works except for the most important thing which is the view it doesn’t work! My dad tried it he said all that came out was unfinished sentences and random numbers and symbols! if you fix it I will be more pleased with this app

### 4/5 — Arabic text

*2026-04-16, version 3.5.4*

It is better than other applications as it can read Arabic text, but more enhancements can also be done

### 3/5 — エンビジョンはいいですね

*2026-03-22, version 3.5.4*

いつも使っています。
すごく助かってます。　ひとつ言うなら、色認識を、もう少しわかりやすい説明をしてほしい
それと、テキストスキャンの用紙が右が入ってないのか、左が入ってないとか、上下が上下が入ってないとかって言うのをもうちょっと詳しく説明してほしい

### 3/5 — Unable to read soft copy of PDFs on envision AI.

*2026-01-10*

Hello all!
I am Pranil more; person with visual impairment. During these days, I am facing some issues while reading a soft copy of PDFS on I phone with voice over without any app; hence I tried to use envision AI as an alternative method. 
However, I regret to bring to your notice that, even despite using “rescan” option in said app, same almost destroys an original content of PDF, which becomes weird to listen to any soft copy of PDF. For E.G.: for word “customer”, it reads “mer”, for word “sanction”; it reads “senction” And so on.
Few of these are just an example, however, it almost makes all the PDF content messy and irritating; specially a soft copies.

Kindly look in to this and work on it.

Secondly, unable to read PDFs through simple on finger swipe, I have to read the same by moving here and their to check whether any content got missed.

Kindly note the same and do the needful.

Regards,
Pranil more.

### 5/5 — Приложение просто отличное!

*2025-08-04, version 3.4.7*

Уважаемые разработчики Envision. Вы создали прекраснейшее приложение, которое помогает многим незрячим и слабовидящим пользователям. Но у меня к вам один единственный вопрос. Когда я нажимаю на кнопку описать изображение, мне Envision выдает такое сообщение. Поддержка Envision Ии скоро прекратится. И меня просят перейти на другое приложение. Если честно, очень не хотелось бы. Чтобы вы закрывали такой прекраснейший продукт. Им пользуются достаточно большое количество пользователей. Я им начала пользоваться только сегодня. Приложение действительно хорошее, описывает подробно изображение мир вокруг. У меня есть к вам убедительная просьба. Пожалуйста, не закрывайте приложение. Оно многим помогает и многим нужно. Новые продукты связанные с искусственным интеллектом всегда хорошие, и всегда будут пользоваться большим спросом, но не стоит забывать и о том, что кому-то и старые продукты могут быть удобнее. Ещё раз, огромное спасибо вам за приложение.

### 5/5 — lo mejor para las personas ciegas

*2025-08-01, version 3.4.7*

muchas gracias por apoyarnos con esta aplicación. Yo soy ciego y estoy realmente encantado y fascinado con esta aplicación. Gracias, Dios los bendiga y lo cuide siempre. Bendiciones para ustedes. Un abrazo desde Hermosillo Sonora México

### 5/5 — السعودية

*2025-07-26, version 3.4.5*

تطبيق متميز .

### 3/5 — Finding objects

*2025-07-16, version 3.4.5*

The finding objects feature works wonderfully. The only problem is, yes, I did play around with it and yes, I knew that the object that I wanted to find was in front of me. It on the other hand did not it did not process and therefore it did not tell me that the object was there. That concerns me. Because if people were trying to find a backpack, and if they were in a hurry, it wouldn’t tell them. This is a real downfall of the app.

### 3/5 — Serious hallucination issues

*2025-07-11*

Started using this app a few months ago and I’ve had some serious AI hallucination issues  that my other go-to AI app, AIRA, has never had in the year plus that I’ve used it. To give you one example, I was listening to an Islamic lecture entitled  The Blessings of Knowledge on a well-known Islamic site. It turned out the website wasn’t too good on my computer so I listened to it on my phone, and since I couldn’t know for sure using Voiceover who was giving the lecture, I took a screenshot and shared it with Envision. I knew there was a picture of the speaker so thought maybe he had an inaccessible caption with his nane. Envision told me the right title of the lecture, The Blessings of Knowledge, but said it was being given by Pastor Paul Trip, and no one on the sight has that name let alone the title of Pastor which belongs exclusively to Christian’s.

### 5/5 — Annoying verification codes!

*2025-07-03, version 3.4.2*

I never thought that this app would be useful or come in handy. I got tired of trying to find a way of linking apps on Apple TV to my my account some apps like iHeartRadio, Spotify, prime video. Always wants you to go to their website and put in a six digit verification code. As I had no friends, family I found this a challenge trying to do this for myself. I tried to use Vision. I put read instant. Text aimed at my TV screen and I got the code. I was skeptical that this would not work as a great surprise it did. I was able to link my account to the Services that wanted a verification code! My opinion this is a great app. I greatly want to say thanks for this app and I am glad it turned out as well as I would hoped it would be. Make many more down the road and improvement.

### 1/5 — Keine Übersetzung ins Deutsche

*2026-04-18*

Bin in England und habe keine Option zur Übersetzung der Texte der Informationen im Hotel oder der Soeusekarte …. Die Werbung lügt!

### 1/5 — не сканирует текст с фото

*2026-02-07, version 3.5.3*

Потеряли полчаса времени

### 1/5 — Geht vor die Hunde

*2026-01-09*

Ich mochte die App anfangs gerne. Auch, weil es immer gut ist, Alternativen zu haben. Der Fokus auf KI und das völlige Desinteresse an der Richtigkeit der Beschreibungen und zweifelhafte Handelspraktiken lassen mich die Apps von Envision leider deinstallieren. Schade, denn ich war Kunde der ersten Stunde.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-11-23, version 3.5.0*

Even though I have a high quality iPhone, every time the app tries to scan text it is blurry on the screen. No idea why it can’t focus the camera. But consequently the app just spits out nonsense words.

### 1/5 — lol

*2025-11-12, version 3.5.0*

No. Robot voices. Endless loop repeat of text - you have to push start button to make it stop before moving to another piece of text. Random different languages intermixed with English.

### 1/5 — Nem sei o que falar para que serve este aplicativo eu não sei a não ser pesar né o telefone roubar

*2025-11-01, version 3.5.0*

Aplicativo bom desenvolvido para o cego porém deixa a desejar quando vai compartilhar foto ou outro arquivo vídeo seja lá como for ele entra em conflito com o VoiceOver prejudicando o próprio cego poderia ser melhor

### 1/5 — Błąd aplikacji

*2025-10-10, version 3.5.0*

Aplikacja nie opisuje zdjęć, obrazów… za każdym razem pojawia się komunikat „Nie można wygenerować napisów”… Zatem aplikacja jest bez użyteczna w tym zakresie.
Pomimo zgłaszanych uwag nie zostało to naprawione od pół roku prawie…

### 1/5 — Una copia mal riuscita di Seeing AI e Be My Eyes

*2025-09-13, version 3.4.9*

Francamente non capisco come questa app potesse un tempo essere addirittura a pagamento. Offre alcune funzioni che si trovano già gratuitamente in altre app, come Be My Eyes e Seeing AI, ma qui risultano praticamente inutilizzabili perché malfunzionanti.

Ad esempio, la funzione di riconoscimento del testo è imbarazzante: sia in modalità “al volo” che tramite analisi di un’immagine scattata con la fotocamera, il risultato è un’accozzaglia di caratteri senza senso. Ho provato con una ricevuta fiscale: con questa app non ho ottenuto nulla di leggibile, mentre con Seeing AI ho avuto una lettura perfetta, con tanto di tabella chiara e dettagliata, completa di intestazioni, beni acquistati, aliquota IVA, costi unitari, totali e metodo di pagamento.

Anche la funzione di riconoscimento immagini basata su intelligenza artificiale è deludente: descrizioni scarne, vaghe e piene di errori. Al contrario, con Be My Eyes (alimentato da ChatGPT) ho ricevuto descrizioni precise, ricche di dettagli e davvero utili.

Non so se la situazione attuale sia dovuta al fatto che, una volta diventata gratuita, l’app sia stata abbandonata o comunque poco curata. Non l’avevo mai provata quando era a pagamento, ma allo stato attuale, purtroppo, non ha alcun senso di esistere.

### 1/5 — App crashing

*2025-08-18, version 3.4.8*

App is Crashing after I log in with the email, tried reinstalling, restarting, app is up to date, so is the IOS, using it from Iph12 mini, IOS 18.6

### 1/5 — App is not working properly
