A Gift For The Visually Impaired

See It has made it possible to read menus and documents, inspect my pedicure, and see so many things that were giving me difficulty. I showed it to my retina specialist, and now he tells all his visually impaired patients about it! He thanked me for sharing the information when his patients reported back how much they love the app too! I especially appreciate the ability to turn on the flashlight at the same time I’m using magnification in a dark restaurant! Now I can enjoy an evening out with family and friends without having to ask someone to read the menu to me. It means the world to me to have this app! Independence is everything! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
