I was always guessing what readers to buy - even after trying them on at the store, but they were never quite right. Finally, I feel like I got the right answer with this app and went to Whole Foods and bought the right pair. Especially helpful now that they don’t allow you to try them on in store! Gonna try ordering computer glasses online next.

I don’t pay for a lot of apps, but I was intrigued by this one. It worked as advertised, I guess, but didn’t give me useful info and annoyed me on sign-up. The annoyance was that there is a checkbox about whether you want notices from them, but if you leave the opt-in box unchecked, you can’t proceed. That’s malicious design, frankly, and I didn’t appreciate it, especially from a paid app. When I did the reading test, the answer I got was “1.75+”. And, right, I knew that. I wasn’t expecting the upper limit on the app to be set so it wouldn’t give me a specific, useful, number. Bottom line: if you’re more forgiving than I am about opt-in policies and if your eyesight is still good enough that you can make out text if you hold a book at arms-length, go ahead and spring for this app and it should give you a useful number.

This app is very useful and easy to use. Takes the guestwork out of getting an add number in buying reading glasses or computer glasses or in changing my current prescription for reading glasses.

I tried this app out of curiosity and it worked. Didn’t realize I need two different numbers for reading and computer.
