I'd like to see a reading component to the near vision test. The ads were not too intrusive for me. It would be interesting to have Siri integration and expand the vision test to include rows of letters. ### 2/5 — Spam *2016-09-28* Requires you to register and then spams your email ### 4/5 — Good job *2016-01-14, version 2.2.3* The program separates advertisements and such. Test adequately illustrates what each eye metric is for the user. Good job of app design! ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2015-08-23, version 2.2.3* Awesome app!!! I was actually playing around with the app and figured that if you press the skip login you can use the app with out registering!! That makes it a lot easier! This app can help many many people with seeing problems and more related with your eyes. Very impressed by how useful this app is to many people. One of my favorite parts is that you can find an eye doctor that can help you with your issue! Amazing. Great invention and a useful app. I will surely tell my friends about this app. !! ### 5/5 — Cool App *2015-08-23, version 2.2.3* Cool app, like the enhancements, great job! ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2015-08-23, version 2.2.3* Very helpful, easy to use, and creative!! ### 5/5 — Impressive *2015-08-18* I spent a lot of time evaluating other vision testing apps. This one was by far the best, with an impressive user experience and apparently a patent on certain mobile device vision testing. So the others may disappear soon. :) Don't waste your time with them. I've uninstalled all of them. ### 5/5 — Dev pro *2015-07-30, version 2.2.3* App is super user friendly and provides a great service as a pre screen to a comprehensive eye exam. Looking fw to future versions to extend the longevity of this helpful eye exam app. ### 5/5 — As Good As It Gets *2015-07-04* I always thought that I had 20/20 vision until I was introduced to this app. The professional expertise put into this application provides not only a holistic and comprehensive eye exam but also a trustworthy source to find respected physicians. I am now scheduled for my first eye exam in a long time. ### 1/5 — What's new? *2014-11-07, version 2.2.0* "What's new in version 2.2.0 Optimized for iOS 7 and iOS 8" And broken for iOS 5! Seems like more and more app developers are getting sloppy. :-( ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used 2B good *2023-08-20* Not anymore. PITA now. Wiped out all of my macular test history with the last update and wants to now email each test. And the grid is too small. This is serious stuff - stop jerking people around. Done with this one. ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS SCAM APP *2021-02-27* It requires phone number and then the app doesn’t work. Gives a certificate error. DO NOT USE THIS APP. ### 1/5 — REQUIRES PHONE NUMBER! *2020-05-18* DUMB! UNINSTALLED ### 1/5 — Wants a phone number *2019-12-30, version 2.3.1* Useless app as it asks for your phone number to sign into the app. No other options available and I am not giving my number out. Deleted it straight away. ### 1/5 — Wth *2019-12-26* Good idea but it’s not planned out good. Needs more work, very confusing ### 1/5 — Too invasive. *2019-01-10, version 2.2.6* Notifications and requiring an eMail sign up just to view the App is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Too many pop ups. *2017-10-24* It’s no longer useful. ### 1/5 — Pretty sure all these reviews are fake *2016-01-30, version 2.2.3* Lame app, looks like it was designed in 2009. No way this many people thought this was the best vision app available. ### 1/5 — Useless app for Canadians *2015-08-31, version 2.2.3* Useless app designed to push eye doctors. Not sure its actual intrinsic worth. I suppose they make money on referrals...? It shows zero eye doctors in Victoria BC. I'm sure there's at least one... ### 1/5 — The Worst! *2015-05-21, version 2.2.3* The worst app hands down! I was actually laughing at myself to have downloaded this! This app is S-L-O-W. It crashes and unresponsive. It also has a "skip login" link that does not work bec it actually requires login...go figure! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Genius! *2016-01-08, version 2.2.3* I wouldn't have any idea that I need glasses if it weren't for eyexam. I've had blurry vision for quite some time but never thought to take a test until this app made it so easy and accessible. Genius idea, wish I thought of it myself! ### 5/5 — Lindore *2015-12-30, version 2.2.3* V helpful. Just screened my entire family and scheduled eye exams with local optometrists. ### 5/5 — Very Cool App! *2015-12-26, version 2.2.3* Just screened my entire family from the comfort of our home! Surprising results and now I know who to make dr. Appts for, including myself. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2015-12-17, version 2.2.3* This app has an easy sight test to take. It proved accurate for myself and two school age children. I highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Great invention *2015-11-10, version 2.2.3* Vision tests are easy to follow. Recommend. ### 5/5 — It's very useful and easy. *2015-10-15, version 2.2.3* It's very useful and easy. ### 5/5 — Very cool! *2015-10-12* If it wasn't for this app, I would've never known I needed glasses. I was having trouble seeing things clearly at night, and figured I'd do some research to see what my options were. I came across the app by accident but super happy I found it! After a quick download, I did an even quicker vision test and saw I needed some improvement in certain areas. Nonetheless, I found a doctor in the Bay Area close to where I work and a few appointments later, I walked out of the office with a new pair of glasses and I've never seen clearer. Totally recommend! ### 5/5 — Impressive *2015-08-25, version 2.2.3* Very impressed with this app! Has lots of great features and the DR. Finder was very helpful. I just made my first apt! Great job! ### 5/5 — Super cool! *2015-08-25, version 2.2.3* Wow, this is so incredible. Genius!!! ### 5/5 — Exceptional App! *2015-08-25, version 2.2.3* Doc finder feature is awesome and very useful! Found a great optometrist through the app while I am away from home at college! This app is a MUST DOWNLOAD!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
