### 3/5 — Problem with the bluetooth

*2015-05-27, version 1.8*

I have a problem with the connection of the remote and the ipad. I cannot control the screen whith my iPhone... However the bluetooth works normaly with other devices... What can i do??

### 4/5 — Happy

*2015-04-26*

The missing instructions prevent this from a 5 star rating, but your intuition should suffice.  Also, wish measurements were not metric.  For a quick eye test this is more than adequate on an iPad.

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2014-09-21*

Very easy to use and easy to set up. Very useful for school screenings and other out-of-office eye exams.

### 3/5 — Useful but a little clunky

*2014-09-05*

The app has great functionality and is useable, i would recommend it especially as it is free. I would however like to be able to make the chart portrait on my iPad mini and make scrolling up and down easier as I have no intention of using a remote with it.

### 4/5 — Excellent app

*2013-12-16*

This is a great app especially when used with the retina display model.  Other charts are good but fell short in terms of mirror function, cross cyl target and UK snellen notation eg 6/9  I use the mini as a near vision assessment tool and doubles up as the remote.

### 4/5 — Cross Cyl chart?

*2013-07-14, version 1.4*

Can't find cross Cyl chart... If its there, it's very difficult to navigate to! Overall it's good but if u have ishihara and other charts it will be great

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2025-11-02*

It is a dreadful App, download if you want to be frustrated.

### 1/5 — Would give 0 stars if possible

*2016-10-02*

Doesn't work, crashes, freezes, rarely allows remote to connect. 

Because the remote function is so glitchy if you are trying to test yourself this means you end up seeing the lines setting it up / trying to fix it; before you get to reading distance.

Waste of money, really unhappy with it.

### 1/5 — Remote no longer working

*2016-09-27*

Was working wonderful to screen vision during mass screening students by school nurses. But the remote will no longer connect after the upgrade to iOS 10.

### 1/5 — Não conecta

*2015-05-11*

Desde a última atualização, não consigo mais fazer o iPhone, conectar ao IPad, precisa de uma correção urgente!

### 1/5 — Charging twice

*2014-10-30*

I've purchased the remote control App on my iPhone 5. Now that I changed to 5S the app stop working and send a message to purchase something I've already buy.

### 2/5 — Does not support calibration with iPhone7

*2019-04-03, version 1.8*

I purchased this eyeSnellen app recently. Disappointed because there’re is no way to adjust the settings for iPad mini and iPad Pro. The calibration option that comes with the iPhone remote does not work (iPhone 7).

### 2/5 — NO LA COMPREN

*2018-12-25, version 1.8*

No se cincroniZa y cuando lo hace tienes que hacer más de 10 intentos si vas a realizar un examen tienes que tener mucha paciencia para que jaleneata cosa ni aún que pagues la aplicación

### 3/5 — Útil cuando quiere

*2019-09-09, version 1.8*

Si es buena pero es muy frecuente que se cierre la aplicación, o baja el brillo de la pantalla, y nunca e podido sincronizarla, ocupa una actualización y corrección de los errores.

### 3/5 — Interessante

*2017-02-08*

Gostei...mas é bom ter uma rede Wi-Fi. Seria bom ter o optotipo 20/400 também.

### 3/5 — Imposible sincronizar iPhone con el ipad

*2016-04-21, version 1.8*

No se puede sincronizar el iPhone con el iPad como Promete la aplicacion y se cierra la aplicacion si se logra la sincronizacion, terrible

👍

### 5/5 — Awesome Snellen

*2013-01-28, version 1.0.1*

Fantastic app.  Great for remote use - when patients can't get to a city for eye checks. Even better that it can all be controlled by your phone and it will calculate the appropriate measurements for testing.

### 4/5 — Génial mais...

*2019-03-05, version 1.8*

Des problèmes de connexion iPhone/iPad, mais je recommande quand même

### 4/5 — Great app
