Doesn’t Work

You need a computer to open a link for scanning, that link never works.

Not Worth The Time

The app itself works fine and I was able to get it to complete 4 times. However, it doesn’t give you the results, you have to get them on the website you connect to and 3 out of 4 times the site crashed resulting in me needing to restart the process. The one time it did give me results, they were incorrect to my prescription.

Impossible tasks

Absolutely impossible to complete the tasks required. I was trying to position my glasses correctly for 20 minutes before finally giving up.

Only giving one star as I can’t give 0

Great idea, needs more work, gave up on it

Sound like a great idea, but it's impossible to use with a big screen as it complains it should be full screen. Then it's very tricky to get the app to find the dots and whatnot.
Gave up after five minutes.
