Glasses Reviews

by Eeutep

First I have to say that Glasses finally stopped working today, after upgrading my phone to iOS 14.2.

I have used Glasses more and more in the last two years, as I get older and no longer have that 20/20 vision I had. It’s quick to launch, easy to zoom in and out. I’ve never quite understood how to get back to a live image after accidentally taking a snapshot.

I like that it uses the flashlight to light up what I’m looking at. My biggest improvement request - besides making it work with iOS 14.2, would be to allow Glasses to remain “active” as long as you want. After a minute or so - depending on your phone setting - the screen starts to dim, the allows the phone to lock. You have to keep touching the screen to keep it live, which is inconvenient for one hand use. This would be like having to tap the screen while watching Netflix, so your phone doesn’t lock while watching.

I just discovered how much I have needed Glasses in my life. When I’m at work I was constantly trying to see up close much closer than my reading this app could offer. Now I can!!!! Thank you for Glasses. I am going to share with family and friends

Elegantly simple and functional for people who forget their reading this app or need new reading this app or just anybody who wants to be able to see all this ridiculously small print on products!

Do not use it to look at yourself… The magnification can be painful! Ha ha... it’s no joke at 66!

Granted, you would want to read a novel using Glasses, but an article from a magazine or a menu it’s perfect.

It’s even better if you need magnifying this app, as I use Glasses in my shop all of the time to look at granular details of things.

I love the this app app on my phone. I look for my readers all day long and it is very frustrating because I cannot read anything with my this app. Thanks to the wonderful app, I’m able to just pick up my phone, which is always nearby without having to search for my this app. It’s so handy for reading directions on food labels, prices at the store and inspect my pets for any skin problems they may have. I love my new “this app”.

An outstanding device. It comes in more times than I thought I would ever use such a device. It has made a significant difference in me being able to view items.

Great app for those of us with less than perfect vision. I have used it for applying makeup, reading tiny print on medicine bottles and identifying mystery bugs. Please check it out. It’s so much better than the magnifying feature built into my phone.

I love Glasses. I use it a lot. I have showed it to several people and they all love it too. We work with electric motors and some data plates are hard to read, this makes it easy. We can even take a picture to send to each other.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Glasses

by Katkitty

I didn’t realize until I left my this app at home one day just how great Glasses was! Every time I needed to read something this was perfect!! I told my sister when she lost her this app and she said it helped her get through the days at work until her new ones came in! Thank you!

As a person over, ahem, 40, I think this is the best invention. We often have “cheater” this app by the computer, by our nightstand, in our purse, and we STILL sometimes forget to bring them along.

Thanks for Glasses! Myopia work-arounds already figured out with phone camera are put together SO PRACTICALLY and combined with other great features! And everything is knit into the UI so well that I use Glasses a LOT. Zoom is so good that it enables macro photography impossible with existing iPhone X lens.

by Ceck317

Can’t tell you how many times I’m at the grocery store checking out a new product and the printing on the label is so small it’s impossible to read!! No longer a problem, with this app! And since I always have my phone with me, I always have my this app!! Thanks!!!

Excellent zoom clarity, and capturing photos of the zoomed object is spectacular when your hand remains steady at very high zoom levels, which would be obviously expected…Amazing for reading extremely small print or object details, so if that’s what someone is looking for I would highly recommend Glasses-(this app)…

by Frank_Parsinitz

I just started to need readers for small print like the markings on my medications and the print on some surface mount electronic components. Glasses is great. I always have my iPhone with me so I don’t have to worry about remembering readers I simply swipe to zoom hold to save something and have the iPhones light to view even in dim lighting conditions. Glasses is simple to use, works great and its free.

by Sitkaspruce

I use Glasses every day - viewing labels at the grocery store, or reading any kind of fine print. Simple and straightforward. I love that the LED comes on right away, though wish there was a control for light intensity. I also appreciate that any snapshots I save are kept separate from my Photos album.

by Macro Mutt

My eyes aren’t what they once were and I need this app to read. Not with Covid going on there’s the need to wear a mask when I go to the store. this app wearers can tell you that the mask causes your this app to fog up constantly. Using the this app app I don’t need my this app when I go to the store. What a help. Additionally i took a sliver out of my foot the other day using Glasses.

I love. I am 72 yo and cannot see as well as b4... But would have loved this tool 20 Years ago. Love the front Camera Magnification View as well. Can check for Skin Issues on my Face. Great “small print” reader... and ability to also have option for Photo if I want and many options to Send or Save. Great Job by Programmer of Glasses. Thank you. I left a Tip for you. Well worth it and your work.

I love finding a photo.. typically the people are easy to identify..even when the photo is from the 50’s to the 70’s.
With “this app” I have been able to see the awesome facial details.. a glance of eyes looking at their spouse, an excited and raised brow of a grandparent when they were young.
Locations that are not noted on a photo can be disappointing, yet Glass’s often detects a sign on a photo that names or is associated with the location.
It’s a jewel!
Thanks so very much!

Not only is this a great magnifier that’s always at hand. It’s a great way to get to your iPhone flashlight function. I know, I know! You just have swipe up on our phone. But I frequently have to swipe several times, and just wind up frustrated when I finally get to it. I keep Glasses on my Home Screen. So if I need a light I just use my finger print. It’s a lot less frustrating.

by Ram_pnt1

this app is definitely an app for sore eyes. One could market this app as the crusader against the written instructions industry that must believe no one needs to read instructions written in fine print fonts. The access to the flashlight and camera will greatly increase Glasses ’s usefulness in industrial espionage...just kidding...sorta. No failures in using this app and everything is “looking good”.

by Aces097

I have been using this for years. Whether I’m at dinner and I forget my reading this app, or trying to read a label in the grocery store. Or I need a mirror at that minute. It magnifies forward and reverse cameras. Perfect... I also turned friends and families on to it. 👍

I recommend Glasses to everyone I meet

by Llevin1967

Glasses is such a life saver. You dont realize how some font is until you need to read it! I have recommended Glasses to many.

by SpringerDave

My eyes are not awful, (but getting worse) I do not carry readers but in restaurants with the dim lighting- Glasses rocks. Also, very helpful reading the fine print for food ingredients.

by Tinhair

I have always had perfect vision until I didn’t at age 46 and it seems like it happened in a month. So I use this as my readers if I don’t have them with me.

by Happyjogger6

I tried a lot of magnifying apps to see faint print on a charger and this is the only one that worked. Or the others just didn’t have the contrast. This should be your first and last choice.

by Sanny Saun

So far I think Glasses is awesome! I could see the actual hair follicles on her head! You could also see her little Gray hairs that she has on her snout. Glasses is so cool that I’m going to tell all of my friends about it! They’ll more than likely to download it too!

by Jgcool01

Add Acacian I forget to bring my reading this app with in while at a restaurant can’t read the menu. But I always seem to have my phone so adding Glasses really makes a difference for in-store purchases, menus and restaurants, etc.

by Mkind27

This one of the most handy app I have on my iPhone. It's great for menus, threading a needle, looking for a lost screw I dropped in the pc I was working on and a thousand other things I can and cannot think of but I'll be happy and ready when it happens. You will have no regrets

by Spreve

I always forget my readers and tried the camera on my phone. Always trying to focus. I thought maybe someone made an app. It works well. I like that you can use a light or not.

by Rafa Itouch

I use it for everything that is small to read or see
