User reviews

ummm... not everyone speaks whatever that language is for the vids it decides to describe...

I see devs never respond to rcheviews, I can't like provide the app a video for describing, therefore making it a waste.

Cannot Hear Video While Description Is Active

This app has amazing potential, and it works well. My only problem is that when a video is playing and a description track is active, the audio from the video either gets cut off or does not play at all. For example, when I played the latest described video to try it out, the intro music played for about 0.5 seconds before being cut off instead of simply fading out like the "audio ducking" menu item suggests. This happens whether the setting is turned on or off. I hope this is fixed!

I’m Sad

The App Won’t Let Me Make Audio Descriptions

New version works smoothly

This new version works very smoothly!!

Great Potential, but Can't Even Set it Up without Getting Kicked Off

I heard about this app from a fellow blind individual. I got excited, as some YouTube videos, such as family vlogs, don't have enough description of the activities, or if I'm watching a video of someone doing a tour of their house, I have no clue what the camera is showing. However, every time I try to open the app, it kicks me right off without even letting me set it up.
