User Reviews
Pros
- High accessibility and usefulness for visually impaired users, including reading text, describing surroundings, and information retrieval.
- Extensive customization options for voices and personalities, with the ability to create your own ally.
- Strong day-to-day productivity benefits, such as scanning, reading aloud, weather updates, and general assistance across tasks.
- Cross-platform availability (app, web, and compatibility with Envision Glasses) enabling syncing and broad use across devices.
Cons
- Voice options degrade from the beta, with limited variety and absence of ElevenLabs voices some users preferred.
- Reliability issues and glitches (unreliable responses, inconsistent scanning, occasional latency)
- Onboarding friction for sign-in (required phone number) and recurring login problems
- Notable feature gaps (no chat/history memory, no support for uploading images/documents for analysis, limited or inconsistent language support)
- Language support limitations and occasional regression in multilingual use

I'm currently using the beta of this app, which has added support for the Meta glasses. Unfortunately, the beta has not been updated in almost 2 months. As others have said, and as I said in my original review, the voice options currently available are not ideal. When this app was originally out in beta, they offered ElevenLabs voices, and that made for a much better user experience. The voices they use now are supposedly customizable, but I have yet to ever get one to sound the way I describe it. For many years, I have always tried to give this company the benefit of the doubt, but over the past 6 to 8 months, I have become increasingly concerned. I think that they have excellent intentions, but perhaps they have bitten off far more than they can chew. it seems as though especially with their own glasses which were released this past October, they over promised and under delivered in a big way. Plus, I never would've purchased their specific glasses had I known that they were eventually planning to make ally available on Meta glasses. so, overall, the app is good for what it is, but as things stand at the time of writing this review, I believe users should think twice before giving this company any money. Just lately, it seems like they've completely dropped off the radar.

Not only is the app incredibly accessible, but the AI assistant itself is extremely accurate and non-sycophantic. Having an AI assistant that will correct me, and not just tell me what it is that it believes I want to hear is very important to me. As with any app, there are issues, but overall my experience has been extremely positive!

Hello, if you at ElevenLabs voices to ally, that would be amazing. In the beta series before this app was released it had the ElevenLabs voices in those voices are amazing. They sound good. Please add the voice to the app. Eleven Labs voice are supernatural. They work perfectly for the allies I need.
