### 5/5 — It works!!!

*2025-06-24, version 5.65.0*

This 100% works!  I was skeptical as many of you are but I can confirm it works.  If you follow the instructions you will get the results you are looking for.

### 1/5 — Garage

*2025-06-02, version 5.59.0*

App is TRASH 
Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — This app is a scam these reviews have to be fake

*2025-05-05, version 5.59.0*

This app doesn’t work at all no matter what I do. I refuse to believe it has this many positive reviews. Absolutely ridiculous.

### 3/5 — Very hard to use

*2025-04-23, version 5.59.0*

This thing made me rage so much. It took a whole 20 minutes of “hold your phone in the center of the screen” before it finally would take my scans. It worked and I ended up getting my scans but dang it took awhile.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2025-04-17, version 5.59.0*

After following the extremely tedious steps to get my prescription, they don’t even give it to you. They want you to somehow look it up in your glasses.USA account - but there’s nothing linking the app to that account, and no apparent way to establish that link. Utter waste of time for nothing.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2025-04-15, version 5.59.0*

Complete waste of time. I don’t even know why I bothered.

### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2025-03-15, version 5.59.0*

Glasses too close, glasses too far; impossible to get it right. Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Wow

*2025-03-14, version 5.59.0*

I have been trying to get my prescription for years my doc acts like it’s a top secret or something so I tried this out and it has given me a prescription excited to see if it works thank you!

### 1/5 — Frustrating to try and use

*2025-03-06, version 5.59.0*

“Make sure the dots are visible on your mobile screen”  repeated over and over.

### 1/5 — TRASH TRASH TRASH!!!!!!

*2025-01-13, version 5.59.0*

It does not work. I don’t know what these other reviews with five stars saying it works, but I’ve been trying to use it for three days and not one single time. Did it get past the credit card scan it is buggy inefficient, and should not be trusted neither should this company if they’re putting this kind of trash out in the world and saying it works. This company should be ashamed, and Apple should be ashamed for allowing it on the App Store.
