User reviews

Doesn't work

Literally thought this was going to be a great app as I'm usually impaired and it doesn't work at all !! Disappointing !

What

I tried using this and instead of reading what was on the page I took a photo of, it started saying "SCCUJOCP2Q\CCOUA .5 ss or one SSHOS\. 5878..." and so on. I have no idea what was going on. Deleted.

Needs a lot of work

Does not read text that is there. Just three letters and numbers on it a time makes absolutely no sense. Bummer. Hope they can improve it asked for those who are visually impaired.

Not Useful

Tried repeatedly to use this app. It absolutely does not work at all.

Landscape Mode

This app works fine if you hold the phone horizontally (landscape). It doesn't work well held vertically.
