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.
Recent reviews
I have been on this app for a handful of years and can say this app does more than just assist people in their day to day lives with activities most of us take for granted. There’s typically a nice chat in the call where you get to meet someone new and they are always so thankful that the app exists. From picking the right item at the grocery store to setting the washing machine on the right temperature or helping confirm that their clothes are matching, everyone can help make a difference. I love this app and the help it provides seeing that I will most likely be a user on down the road and not a volunteer.

I’ve had the app for 6 months and have only been first to help answer one call. This app is a great concept and you should consider yourself lucky to ever connect with one of the members seeking help.
