### 5/5 — 有效協助視障者　請求增加閱讀器功能🙏

*2025-12-16, version 1.8.6*

什麼時候才會加入語音閱讀器功能？可以在大賣場或生鮮超市和超商購物的時候可鎖住畫面中的文字，用閱讀器讀出語音讓視障者知道那是什麼東西？

非常好用的App！這一套功德無量的輔助軟體！解決低視能，極低視能改善生活品質的好幫手❤希望未來這款App可以更加進化。建議～可以增設語音播報功能！放大鏡再照明文件的時候，可以有選擇朗讀功能聆聽，如果有機會加入A I功能來輔助就更棒了！

### 5/5 — SuperVision+

*2025-07-23*

I love it. It helps me when I can’t read the fine print on labels, consent documents at a doctor’s office, etc.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-07-23*

It’s done everything I wanted to do and asked.

### 2/5 — Good app but …

*2024-08-15*

The flashlight button does not appear where it should. It is “under” the “original color/ negative back and white image” button. If you turn your phone to landscape mode the flashlight button does appear where it should, allowing you to access the flashlight. This flaw really needs to be addressed.

### 5/5 — Perfect for my needs.

*2024-03-14*

I’m a coin collector.
This app is absolutely perfect for my needs.
Thank you to the developers 🙏🏼

### 5/5 — Super Vision Mag

*2023-04-17*

Works great.  Had a bit of a problem initially with it working consistently and complained; their tech folks had me test out a new beta version and it worked like a champ.  They revised their software and now it works with some iPhones it previously had some problems with.
Magnifies like crazy.  It is like a microscope in your hand!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2023-04-17*

I LOVE this app and the development/support team.  I developed bilateral wet AMD back in 2018. In addition to the typical blind spots most often associated with AMD, I have severely distorted vision in each eye. As a result, I can’t read and I’m legally blind.  I rely on accessibility apps for dictation and screen reading.  I downloaded this app in 2018 to help “see” things that would otherwise be impossible.  I am a big fan!  I can no longer make out the head of a screw but with this app I can accurately direct the screwdriver into the screw head.  I have so many other examples of how this app has helped with things that used to be so easy. 

The support team is unbelievably responsive and talented. In a recent release the app showed only a black screen.  I wrote to the support team with as much information about my phone as possible.  They were able to isolate the problem. Turns out it only effected my particular iPhone model.  All throughout their troubleshooting process they kept me informed.  It didn’t take them long to fix the problem.  I have never found a support team as responsive as this group.  It says a lot that this group is associated with the world class organization Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary.  I’m grateful every day that they are!

### 4/5 — iOS update killed it

*2023-03-03*

I am legally blind, and have used this app for many years. With the very most recent iOS update, this app no longer works. All I get is a black screen. I uninstalled, and tried reinstalling to no avail.

**Developer response:** We have realized the new update does not work on some models. Please contact support_vision@meei.harvard.edu and let us know your phone model. We will soon release a fix. Thanks!

### 2/5 — BLACK SCREEN

*2023-03-02, version 1.8.4*

Used to work great until recent update. Black screen IPhone SE2

### 1/5 — Used little, now black screen

*2023-02-28, version 1.8.4*

I’m hoping I get a black screen. Basically just completely fails to work. Trying to access their online help leads to a 404 error on the webpage.
This app is useless. Period.
