Taking a picture
By French or Mn
Nice
Very good. I like it a lot. Comes in handy at a restaurant. Good in dark places
Glasses for iPhone 17
I had this app on my iPhone 11 and it was great to have. Now I have an iPhone 17 and the glasses app is blurry. Is there an updates app for the new phones?
Perfect
Exactly what these aging eyes need.
Not Working
another app that just doesn't work on the iphone 4. I thought these things should be tested?
Feedback
I am at the age now where I struggle to read labels on the back of items I purchased. Glasses has been amazing in helping me out and allowing labels easy to read.
it turns off while I am reading something and have to move it so it works
It turns off while I am reading something
So far, so good
I usually take a photo and zoom in but somehow this provides better images. I thought of this as a something to stand in for reading glasses but the first thing I tried it on was a few feet away. I’m sure I’ll do more with it but I’m reviewing this app in response to a request that should have nudged me later.
سخييييف
برنامج سخيف بس يكبر الصوره وهذي الميزه موجوده في الكاميرا العايدية
Glasses
I use this app to help me do spot checks of dermatological problems on my patients in nursing homes. I find it easier to use than the iPhone camera by itself. It beats holding a magnifier and flashlight and patient all at the same time.
iOS version is not working
I have this app app for Android and it works just fine. But I got the same app in IOS and it’s not working probably. When opens while loading and trying to read it keeps taking pictures . So you have to close and open it again. This keeps doing it all the time. You must solve this issue in order to make it work as it thought.
Miss CEO
Simply Genius Thanks
Doesn't work!!!!!
Doesn't work. Won't even open on my 3gs. REFUND?!!!!!!
Sight for sore eyes
I like the app it could have maybe more features like stability when zooming in closer. Maybe different lens distances
Glasses
This is very good app, you see little things very clearly! Thanks so much help me a lot!
I can finally read!
Must have for us old people who refuse to use our readers
not worth it
rubbish very sensitive
Thank you
I am a type 1 diabetic and I lost my Vision to diabetic neuropathy. With two surgeries on each eye, lasic, and more injections than I can count, I gained a blessfull amount of my vision back. I am still legally blind and need help reading/seeing with just about everything. This app has been more than helpful. 🙏
Funcionaba perfecto la versión anterior
Cuidado si tienes 3G o 3GS no actualices aun cuando te llegue la actualización, me paso y se bloquea
Glasses app is good to use. Wish we could cut ...
...out some of the pic. Rita Hellmann.
Love this app
My grand daughter lives this app especially when she gets here and she’s getting Mamaw’s phone and she opens the app by herself and she just turned 4 June 1,2022!! Yes she’s very intelligent lil girl! She’s amazing in so many ways! She amazes me everyday with something new/different that she has learned or taught herself!!!
crap
Can not focus. Does not work waste of money
Works great!
The app works great! Much prefer to use this over having to wear readers!
Making Glasses better
In the next update it would be good to have labels that say what button does what & maybe not be so sensitive to the touch, you do not need change it much, maybe 5% less, no more then 10% less at most, also make the icons bigger, so it is easier for people with disabilities, also make it clear what icon does what.
GLASSES-Lifesaver
GLASSES is a lifesaver! Until I got this app, life was a struggle, aging is a learning experience, I’ve learned to rely on GLASSES when it comes to fine print.
J'aime
Plus efficace que les applications 'miroir' pour le maquillage:)
Glasses
It’s a great overall app
Great app
This app is awesome!! Works as binoculars as well. Much better zoom than my camera!!
My opinion
AMAZING APP! In my eighties having it in my cel is priceless! And a mirror and camera too, it is unbelievable. Only one question , how do I find the photos taken? Where do they go if I want to delete to delete one? Labizca
Good app
Does exactly what it says on the tin and saves you scrambling about in your handbag for glasses. Has a handy light too.
