### 3/5 — Bug

*2025-07-25, version 3.1.0*

There is a bug. If you tap the Settings cog, then [About / Show directions], the overlay cannot be dismissed.

Also, not sure how to change between Home/Medical user, if the wrong one was selected at install. Unclear if there’s any difference in functionality.

### 2/5 — What size iPad is this for?

*2022-10-08, version 2.0.4*

I loaded it on a small iPad and a larger iPad Pro. The chart fills the screen on each which, obviously cannot be correct since they both say to use it at 8’. Either it must adjust the letters to the size of the screen or adjust the recommended viewing distance to compensate for the size of the letters.  Looks like they are about the right size on the smaller iPad Air and much too larger (Warranting a viewing distance of perhaps 11 or 12 feet rather than 8) on the large iPad pro.  If the app runs on multiple form factor devices it needs to compensate or at least alert users of an issue. Barring that issue, the free version does everything I would expect, but that issue is significant.

### 2/5 — Paid app

*2022-05-09, version 2.0.4*

No preview of functionality

### 2/5 — Was great... not after latest iOS update.

*2021-03-10, version 2.0.4*

Worked for years and was wonderful.  After last iOS update, no w crashes immediately upon launch.  Would be 5 stars otherwise.

### 2/5 — Does not resize the chart on an iPad Pro

*2018-06-08, version 2.0.4*

The letters are bigger on my 12.9” iPad Pro than they are on my 9.7” iPad. This means that the readings are wrong on one device or the other. Please fix!

### 2/5 — Useless...

### 4/5 — Update on in app purchases in 2011

*2015-05-30, version 2.0.1*

2011
After spending $40 for in-app upgrades in 2011, I am unable to re-download them after iOS updates. Author ignores request for help. Apple can't help. I think this app has been abandoned. Zero support. 
Update: 5/30/2015
App has now been updated (4 years later) and I can now restore previous purchases. From one * to **** stars.  It's almost like a miracle.

### 1/5 — Su Air è inutilizzabile

*2015-03-03, version 1.7*

Al lancio della app si blocca e non é possibile fare nulla.aggiornate perché sembra ben fatta

### 4/5 — Kids

*2014-01-22, version 1.7*

I really like this app, very clean and easy to use. I would love a version with pictures for kids to identify, like K-pics. I would use this app in my optometric exam room every time if I could use it at at 3m with children.

### 5/5 — omg

*2014-01-04, version 1.7*

### 1/5 — Mala actualización

*2024-11-23, version 3.0*

Se actualizo la app después de mucho tiempo y dejo de funcionar en mi iPad que usaba, ya compré una 9 y funciona pero el control ya no conecta en la app, yo pague la versión PRO espero que solucionen el problema

### 1/5 — Worked great at onetime

*2021-08-07, version 2.0.4*

Worked great for the first few years after purchase, but now it does not work at all.  Just keeps taking me to a page asking me to make purchase of the app again, not happening!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with iOS 14

*2020-12-21, version 2.0.4*

App hasn’t been updated in 4 years. Immediately crashes on app launch and apparently is incompatible with current iOS version. Time to look for a new eye chart app.. 😕

### 1/5 — Was great,now doesn’t work.

*2019-11-23, version 2.0.4*

Updated to latest IOS for iPad and this app now doesn’t work. Did love to check my and my boys vision using this app, but if isn’t fixed will have to find a different app. And the support website is not a “trusted” website. So not comfortable sending the developer this issue.

### 1/5 — Bad trial

*2019-04-18, version 2.0.4*

The trial version is terrible, don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — useless app

*2019-01-29, version 2.0.4*

cant even try it. it offers me to pay for advanced version without even trying basic one

### 1/5 — Total con

*2016-10-22, version 2.0.4*

You have to give them an email address before you can even start using the app.

DELETE.

### 1/5 — Ruined by up-date

*2016-08-24, version 2.0.4*

Originally purchased this a couple of years ago and was excellent for do I work. Chart included all required charts. 

Recently updated and everything but the Shelley was removed and in app purchases were required to access duo chrome and other charts. 

Disgusted.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2016-05-16, version 2.0.4*

Waste of time. I hate apps that show pictures in the App Store that they don't even have in the app. There is no eye chart in this app!

### 1/5 — Useless

*2015-05-24, version 2.0.1*

Nonfunctional trial version. Don't waste your time.

### 5/5 — Excellent support

*2025-02-02, version 3.1.0*

I had no connection between the devices for a couple of weeks, I sent an email, the support team answered me, updated the app and it’s working again. Thank you so much for your support!

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2021-07-11, version 2.0.4*

I just bought this app in June 2021 and it works fantastic. I use this app everyday to both check my vision and practice Active Focus. The remote control feature from my iPhone is awsome, I love that I can sit on the couch and isolate any line on the Snellen and practice clearing up print and exercising my focusing ability. Great job in making this app, I also loved that you could try it out before purchasing. Once I tried it out I immediately purchased this app and it was well worth the money for me. Keep up the great work.

### 5/5 — Works Great!

*2017-10-01, version 2.0.4*

My husband and I used this eye chart on an iPad 2017. We stood 8 feet away and read the chart with our glasses to determine if my husband’s prescription had changed. 
***He wants sunglasses for driving, Costco has a sale, and he couldn’t get a appointment with his ophthalmologist before the sale ends.  
*** My husband has excellent vision, and he read down to the 20/15 line. I have mild cataracts and read down to the 20/30 line. This app works great!

### 5/5 — incredibly easy to use

*2017-03-10, version 2.0.4*

great for testing vision even in a small room because the chart can be resized. i'm surprised it didn't get a higher rating from previous version.

### 5/5 — Back in business

*2015-09-04, version 2.0.2*

After a very long time and no updates, most features on this app had stopped working. That is until the latest update. Great to see this app get some attention from the developer again. Back to five stars. Two things would make it perfect. 1. A simple animation that you could run for fixation. 2. Apple Watch support to use the watch as a remote.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Eye Chart

*2015-08-27, version 2.0.2*

The developers have done a great job with this application. It has pretty much all the functionality you could ask for (within the "free" limitations). The chart is easy to use an all the features are well thought out and well-implemented. Works really well with the remote control app for iPhone as well.

### 5/5 — Great easy to use product

*2015-06-02, version 2.0.1*

Still a great product and new/better features. I use the amsler grid regularly as well as the near vision chart since it's hard to get older patients off the examining table and into the hallway to obtain the typical 20 feet distance. 

Below is my review of the earlier version

-------

Absolutely amazing. Used to use the back of Maxwell's, but room was always too dark or patients said there was too much reflection. This is the perfect brightness especially for the older patients who already have difficulty with vision. It's fast, too. The randomization feature is good since I always suspected that some were using just rote memorization. For non-english speakers (we have a huge Haitian creole population), asking them to just make out how the E looks create great versatility. A must-have for a primary care setting.

### 5/5 — Revolutionary

*2015-05-29, version 2.0.1*

I am a neurologist and use EyeChart Professional on my iPad quite frequently seeing patients on rounds and in the clinic.  This newest version of Eyechart has several features including the ability to test acuity at a variety of distances from the patient.  I can hold it 10 feet from the patient inside the clinic and easily switch to 4 feet when I’m at the foot of an inpatient bed.  You can also isolate rows for testing acuity, not to mention limitless randomization, which is particularly useful as patients can subconsciously familiarize the fixed letters on hand cards or wall charts, throwing off the accuracy of repeat testing.  Though I mainly use the Snellen chart for acuity and the Amsler grid for visual field defects, there are numerous advanced charts for optometrists and ophthalmologists.  It would not surprise me to see an iPad with this application on the wall of eye doctors’ offices, as this app has countless more features and versatility than the anachronistic wall projector, and the long term cost would be less (e.g. several hundred dollars to replace a projector bulb).  I strongly recommend this app for any physician who does visual screening, and certainly for eye specialists.  It is simple enough for non-medical individuals to use to test their own vision as well.

### 5/5 — Pleasantly surprised

*2015-05-27, version 2.0.1*

I almost didn't download this app because I already have an eye chart but I decided to give this a try. It turns out that this app is WAY better than my existing chart. I can randomize it so my patients can't memorize the letters. The remote costs money but it's well worth the purchase.

The app works well for me as a doctor, but I'm not sure I'd recommend it to laypeople.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for vision testing

*2015-05-27, version 2.0.1*

I'm really happy with what they've done with the app since the last update. I've been using the remote control to perform vision tests on my patients and it is incredibly reliable now. Shutters, randomization, and mirroring all work great.

I've been using the app mainly for vision testing when I do home visits but I'm actually considering replacing my projector entirely!
