Performance enhancements and bug clean up

User reviews

First review I’ve left in 5 years.

No matter what I change, it keeps repeating the same instructions at me over and over again. Eventually it just bugs out and kicks me from the app.

Terrible

Image is blurry when it looks just fine

User Frustration

This really doesn’t work well. Who knows how accurate the PD thing is (I don’t have the measurement from my doc), but it seemed at least within the same ballpark when I tried to measure manually. It was a horribly frustrating process, though.

I tried the lens scanner to see how accurate that was for comparison. It made me restart soooooo many times, and when I finally got through it all and it was calculating, it said there was an error and that I’d need to restart. It had already been 30 minutes at that point, so I gave up.

The process was physically difficult for me, and I’m relatively able bodied, and my prescription is pretty mild. I can’t imagine how others would do this, especially those who can’t see without their glasses.

Multiple issues

First, the app forces me to measure my PD when I only need to measure glasses. If I have 10 pairs of glasses to check (2 times each to reduce errors), I am forced to measure my PD 20 times, even though I know it perfectly fine. There is no way to skip the PD. Second, I am already extending my arm as far as I can but the app keeps insisting that I move my glasses closer to the monitor... Closer! Closer!! Closer!!! Sorry, my arm isn't made of rubber, it doesn't stretch to an infinite length. Third, on certain glasses it just goes into an infinite cycle of "something went wrong". And repeats the instructions, as if it is my fault that something went wrong. On those glasses that it does measure, there is usually a small error, but I guess it's unavoidable, due to the limitations of the method.
