Review summary

Users praise Seeing AI for OCR and image-describing capabilities that aid visually impaired users. However, recurring issues include device compatibility and loading problems across phones, poor TalkBack/screen reader integration, and slow processing that hinders real-time object detection.

Pros

Reads text from images and signs with OCR, spoken aloud.
Describes images and identifies objects to aid visually impaired users.
Helpful for people with low vision; widely appreciated as an accessibility tool.
Allows scanning photos and reading their content aloud (AI reading).

Cons

Device compatibility and loading issues across Android devices, including Galaxy S9 and Moto E7 Power; difficulty opening or loading on some phones.
TalkBack and screen reader accessibility problems; controls can be unusable or hard to disable.
Very slow processing and lack of real-time object detection; noticeable lag for users.

2026-05-11	Al*****	I've just installed the app and so far I love it. However, I do have a question/ suggestion. Can I add people to the "recognizable people" tab using pics I already have on my phone instead of pics taken through the app? If not then I would highly recommend that. I have family and loved ones that I don't get to see often due to distance (my eye specialist said I'm only allowed to drive short distances using familiar routes). I would like to add them to recognizable people but can't take pics

2026-04-18	Ju*****	I downloaded this app to assist me with my vision as I am visually impaired. It works usually well, however I have noticed a bug. Whenever I try to delete a recognized face in the "People" tab, it never actually deletes and just comes back. Also, if I may add a suggestion: please make it be able to recognize pets! My daughter has a small black cat and it would be very helpful to be able to identify her as we have dark furniture and I don't want to accidentally harm her. Thank you.
