I have been using this app for a while now, and I love what It does. Reading denominations on money is great. Reading the tiny print they use in product manuals (pamphlets) is impossible these days, so I usually take a picture and then blow it up so I can read it. This app has put an end to that. I are hold it up for a second, and it starts reading. You don't even have to keep it on the page once it starts reading My problem, the explore mode won't shut up. I can't find the setting for slow

Would be great if it could also tell the colors especially if the color of the object is simple (e.g. a black chair) or if it is a clothing item. Or even having a separate mode just for colors. It s pretty impressive how many objects it can recognize but simple task as telling which color is this item is not implemented. It s a shame. My mum is blind, it would be great if she could use this app to help her pick her outfits.

Lookout - Assisted vision This app is good. You have to fix some problem. 1. Most of the time we don't need the camera light. on or off we can adjust the light then it will be best to use 2. You should give us the option to choose which camera. we are using and we can fix the zoom quality and lock the zoom quality that will be best we users will be more efficiently we can use
