### 1/5 — Worst app

*2021-09-09*

They fully take advantage of the blind, I purchased the pro series for 15.95 Canadian and it has yet to tell me what’s around or in front of me other than it calls doors safes and anything on the ground that is round is a flower pot. Oh it did say floor mat that I don’t have. The clock can’t be changed from a 24 hour clock. It doesn’t recognize street lights or stop signs or crosswalks. Going to try to get my money back and I haven’t even had a day yet.

### 3/5 — good app, but it needs work.

*2021-04-11, version 3.2.11*

I like the object recognition in this application, but one of the features I was looking forward to using is the voice commands, the app crashes whenever I try to use it with voice commands.

### 3/5 — Love the app so far

*2021-03-29, version 3.2.11*

I just got this app and I  like it but I have some questions regarding increasing the sensitivity how high do I set  it or how low and what does buying it do if I bought it

### 1/5 — Плохо.

*2021-02-27, version 3.2.11*

Качество интернета хорошая. При включённом фонаре даже не помогает. Распознавание очень сильно хромает. Я не доволен приложением. Оно не стоит своих денег. Зачем внедрять функции, который работает плохо. Передо мной стоит графин, он говорит такую ерунду. Не рекомендую данное приложение. Направляю на кофту, говорит что это сетчатые ограждения. Бредятина.

### 3/5 — .

*2021-02-22, version 3.2.11*

I like the idea but it’s not very accurate, I hope this will improve.

### 4/5 — I CAN See  - in real time

*2019-03-31, version 3.2.11*

Thankyou SO much for developing this app!  I love it!!! Especially that it instantly identifies in real time!  For me, it has been pretty accurate though not perfect. I notice it does better when the sensitivity level is between 25%-50% .  I know with time, it will become one of the best apps ever for those who are blind or visually impaired. Thanks again!

### 1/5 — Fix this app!🧐😠

*2019-01-19, version 3.2.11*

This app gets all the objects wrong. For example it calls the racks safety pins.

### 5/5 — рекомендую

*2018-07-15, version 3.2.11*

сделать возможность поделиться

### 2/5 — I can see

*2018-06-27, version 3.2.11*

Жалко нету русского языка хотелосьбы чтобы появился

### 2/5 — пожелание

*2018-05-22, version 3.2.11*

Здравствуйте!
Идея конечно гениальная. 
Но пока распознавание предметов оставляет желать лучшего. Может быть в платной версии используя фильтры работает лучше, но в бесплатной она даже попадающих на пути людей в упор не видит. Складывается впечатление что она просто некоторых предметов вообще не распознаёт и подставляет более менее подходящие значение. Скорее всего необходимо расширять базу образов предметов. 
Хорошо почти с сто процентной вероятностью распознаёт бытовую технику. Например стиральная машина, микроволновая печь, пылесос, ноутбук, мультиварка, ванная. Пусть программа будет весить много но  у неё в памяти было больше образов. Ещё на будущее пожалуйста не добавляйте в неё нового функционала, лучше развивать существующий. Иначе программа превратиться в большой бесполезный комбайн. Мы инвалиды по зрению нуждаемся в простых безотказных приложениях. Как например распознаватель банкнот. Если приложение будет работать более корректно можно и в три раза больше за него заплатить. А как оно сейчас работает за него я платить не готов. А вообще огромное вам спасибо за попытку облегчить быт незрячих людей. Творческих вам успехов!!!
