Extremely impressed!, seriously

Quite some time ago, before your recent updates to this app, I gave it a bad rating. I am writing to thank you, and to say that I have now changed my mind.
I am amazed and pleased with this app now, and use it every day, on my iPhone 13, and it works great.
Thank you for your effort, time, and all of your hard work, to help blind persons to be more independent, and have access to more information. I would recommend this app now, to everyone.

Was Great Now Useless

I purchased this app a few months back after trying it for a month and really liked it. However, Within the past month, the changes made have made the app useless. It no longer says what edges aren't visible so that I can move it in the correct direction to get the full image. Secondly, the text is now not viewable by flicking through the screen. You have to wait for it to read it, so getting instructions off a box for cooking is tedious. I didn't checkto see if it would read word by word, but who wants to do that when trying to Prepare something?Thirdly, when I went to stop my auto payment, the options of subscriptions are not read. I had to click on one of the unread items and then since I happened to click on the one I already subscribed too, it mentioned this fact and other info. I was then able to click the manage button and successfully unsubscribe. Until this app improves, I will not reccommend it to anyone. I was using IOS 12 last month and IOS 13 in the past few days, IOS isn't the issue. I'm using an iphone 8 and have been for the past couple years. I hope you improve this app back to one that is as good or even better than the one I used when purchasing the subscription.

Hi, we are sorry for the inconvenience you faced because of the changes made. A lot of them had to do with iOS 13 which introduced several complications. However, we have now fixed all of the issues you have mentioned. Kindly update your app to the latest version and let us know what you think. You can also reach out to us by email at support@letsenvision.com should you face any issues going forward.

Best OCR engine available even beat Orcam! When will we see a glasses version?

I use this app every single day. Are used to use Seeing AI or a lot of other different apps and other devices like Orcam and E Sight. But I have found is this app actually takes the place of almost all of them! I am waiting for these guys to find a pair of smart glasses that will support their app on them! When are you guys going to put your app on a pair of smart glasses? I know you looked into views explains? Have you looked into the X2 by Third Eye Generation? I think you guys would partner quite nicely and they are quite inexpensive and allow for many different apps to go onto their App Store. I think I can’t wait for the partnership or at least with some other type of glasses because I am tired of hanging my phone from my neck to use your app all the time the facial recognition really doesn’t work well that way and I think you guys would be amazing in a pair of glasses and tent to some developer out there!!!

Developer Response ,

Hi,
Thank you so much for such a positive feedback. We are working on glasses and shortly have something interesting to share about it as well. Please follow us on Facebook & Twitter for all app related updates.
