Great app
Der[]-16
I do appreciate the whole concept behind this app to those out there that are visually impaired in some way. I just signed up got a call two days later had another app open on my phone during my lunch break got a surprise when I saw be my eyes and then unfortunately made a mistake when I went to answer this call as I simply outta eagerness went to instinctively shut my current app to answer this when that indeed declines the call.. All I need to do is tap on the notification and it will open the option to answer the call. I'll certainly get another call and won't make that mistake again. I'll do all I can to help!
One call made my day

I got a call today and it was as simple as helping this man know what date his yogurt is expired. I downloaded this app back in July and realised i might not be getting as many calls as id like, but today while talking with my friend i got this weird ringtone, i look at the notification and saw the apps logo. I jumped to answer and helped the man, that simple act has made my day. I feel so happy i was able to do one useful thing today. I hope more blind people can download the app and have it accessibly in their pocket.
Invaluable service
