User Reviews

Be My Eyes connects visually impaired users with a global volunteer network for remote help. Reviewers praise its mission, the supportive community, and the AI feature’s potential. Recurring concerns include call-connectivity glitches, safety/harassment needs, limited notification controls, lack of availability scheduling, and a mismatch between volunteer supply and actual demand. Overall, it remains transformative for many users; addressing reliability and safety would broaden its impact further.
Pros
  • Large, active volunteer community enabling remote assistance for visually impaired users.
  • Positive, life-changing impact; many reviewers call it one of their favorite apps and a meaningful way to help others.
  • Be My AI feature provides practical value by identifying items, reading labels, and describing scenes, boosting independence.
  • Versatile use cases, from helping family and friends to assisting diverse blind or low-vision users across distances.
  • App culture and mission are widely praised, with appreciation for the developers and the supportive, kind volunteers.
Cons
  • Frequent call connectivity issues where calls won’t connect or you must answer within a split second, causing missed calls.
  • Safety concerns about harassment; requests for real-name verification and in-app reporting to protect volunteers and recipients.
  • Lack of notification controls (no customizable ringtone/volume) and low-volume alerts that make answering harder.
  • No built-in scheduling or availability settings, so volunteers can’t limit when they’re reachable.
  • Not all volunteers get called as often as expected due to a mismatch between volunteer numbers and the number of people in need, leading to idle time for volunteers.

So helpful

My oldest daughter told me about this app recently. I added it to my phone and was surprised and excited to get my first contact or call the other day. It was beyond awesome to be able to help a young man from another country with identifying some videos/DVDs. His English was spot on as well. It really was such a super cool and rewarding experience. I was also able to have a great conversation with him as well. The only thing I can add is that it would be great if there would be a feature or a way to save a contact regarding a person you had helped for future assistance if needed.
