User reviews

Difficult to use

It is really difficult to get to previous results. Not an easy app to use to track changes

Does not work.

I attempted several times to get a reading on my left eye. I have followed the instructions but Every time I get a message about my right eye when saving. Wasted purchase.

No value

Absurd to pay for such app

Can't get it to save

I take the test but can't get the app to save the results.

Response from developer

The app saves results when you mark an area of distortion on the screen with your finger or a stylus. That way you can compare the size of the area of distortion when you repeat the test at a later date to look for progression. If you do the test and do not see any distortion there is no need to save a normal result so the app does not give you the option to save it.

Simple & Easy

This app is great for monitoring the history of your eye condition. I used to try it with paper Amsler grids but going back to view the history was never easy/accurate. Trying to remember if there were any changes s week to week was not effective either. Once a week I use this app, save the results for both eyes then can swipe between weeks to look for changes. I also bring it in to the Dr and let him review it as well. Great app.
