Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant app (+ suggestion)
I've been a member for nearly a year and have received two calls. The first one I missed, the second one was to help someone explain what's on their computer screen when their laptop crashed. It's a great way to help a stranger and costs nothing but a couple of minutes of time to answer a call. If you're busy, you don't have to take the call and someone else will help.
My only suggestion would be to make calls more prominent. I've tried in my settings but it seems to be a restriction by the app. I work from home and always have time to answer a call but I know I'll miss them if they are only in the notification bar, rather than a full-screen phone call message.
This might even be intentional as to not annoy users, but it'd be great if users could manually choose how they want the calls to come through.
Easy and very rewarding
I have being a volunteer for nearly 3 years now, it’s very easy to register. I receive calls randomly once or twice a month. As a volunteer you have to be very quick to answer the call as many other volunteers receive the same call. The call turns into camera and most of the time it is to assist someone with use by date labels on groceries, helping to select what product is to eat first. Other time is about to help selecting colour of a dress or shirt. Calls are generally briefs, you can assist someone from anywhere around in the world. Great App, everyone should be a volunteer
Olivier (New Zealand)
Real life hero
I love this app. It gives vision impaired people the opportunity to be more autonomous about their actions and gives them more freedom, and my small moment of helping them makes me feel amazing. It’s the chance to do something good in the world, it’s a small action for me but it means a huge amount to them. It’s wonderful. Definitely jump on board!
