This message is targeted towards the support team ~ I'm a sighted volunteer. For the last two calls I've received/responded to, both me and the low visioned individual cannot hear each other properly because our call is constantly reconnecting. So the past few times, both of us had to end the call because of connection issues. Furthermore, whenever I had to rate my experience, it won't let me click the thumbs down button, only the thumbs up button. I couldn't even resolve my issue from the app.

I absolutely cannot believe my luck. I've heard about this app before and I just saw a Tic Tock about it, so I downloaded it and not 30 seconds later I had my very first call asking for assistance. The incredible call was someone having allergies and needed assistance with the color and condition of their eyes. It was a smooth, fun conversation and my only complaint is that the video quality and lag were a slight issue but I was able to give the person all the information they needed. Next!

I LOVE the idea that this can be done. Although, I feel like there are some issues. One being the long waits for anything to happen. I've had the app for months now and nothing. I did exactly what I needed to do and I know there are so many volunteers but that's a focus that needs to be observed. Next, the UI needs a bit of a clean-up and tidy-up. From what I heard from others is the calls are messed up. Overall great potential just needs more work and a larger outreach to those who are blind
