Digit-Eyes App Reviews

I have been waiting for an app which is taking advantage of iOS 4 and the iPhone 4 great camera, and goes beyond what apps like Red Laser do. This app allows the creation of custom barcodes to label things like medication, clothes and many other items for easy identification, by those who are visually impaired or blind. By logging into the website, one can create audio or text labels, and attach these custom labels for easy scanning later. I tested these larger custom labels. They are easy to scan and are recognized very fast by the app, handy for attaching to items which can be difficult to identify without sighted help. It is also useful for those who are visually impaired to be able to scan codes upside down or vertically, something that other barcode scanning apps do not do. I believe the App could use a little more work as in having the ability to keep a record for export of scanned items for inventory purposes. I am eagerly awaiting further development of the app, and feel it is priced reasonably.

Way too expensive for what it does. You cant see the barcode you just scanned. You cant export easily. Not recommended as is.

This app if you know and have patients how to learn how to focus your camera and look for the barcode is very good. It can be difficult to use but not because of the app, more because of my not knowing where the barcode is. I appreciate the beeping to let me know that I am close to the barcode.

I like this app, but except for one thing. I would also like to have the prices read along with the item. How are you suppose to know what the price if youre blind/visually impaired? Doing a web search will take to much time, and you wont be able to find someone all the time in the store. What do you do then???!

Just awesome how easy and accurate it was. Great product for VoiceOver users. It makes me feel really good that developers are making apps for VI users

I was disappointed when I couldnt get it to run on my new iPhone 4, but the new version has fixed that and the app runs great! Very cool concept.

Simply put, this app is wonderful and Id highly recommend it! The camera improvements of the iPhone 4 further enhance the apps functionality,making it even faster and easier scanning bar codes and labels alike. I needed to scan two identically shaped bottles of hair care products and Digit-Eyes made this possible in under five seconds for each bottle with my iPhone 4 and no special lighting conditions. Thanks and kudos to Digital Miracles for making such a great product!!!

Have used version 1 and 1.0.1 and was waiting for an update before writing a review. I have attempted to use the bar code scanning aspect many, many times and all times, it never works! This is a rip off and certainly not worth $30! This should not be considered a bar code scanner. There are apps that are free or very low cost, which do a way better job than this worthless app.

Light years ahead of similar apps. I work with the blind and sight impaired and this app will improve lives and improve independence. Thank you!

Really works great!! thanks for taking time to develop Digit Eyes.

I am not only using this app as it is intended, I am showing it off and amazing everyone with it - especially with my refreshable braille device paired to my iPhone 4. In this way, using the text-labels, Digit - Eyes is accessible and practical for deaf-blind individuals also! Great job with this app! I would LOVE to see the next version include the option to pause while recording a label, with a slider to advance it, back it up, or add to an existing recorded label. This way, we could record entire recipes, etc. in a single label. Im proud of this app!

Quite difficult to scan factory bar codes with my 3gs, needs good light and a lot of luck. Basically a waste of money for me considering how little I use it and how poorly it reads my cans and boxes.

Just retested with the 4s and was able to identify a soop can. Still found the process frustrating

Perfect solution for my bvi clients. Have not used printed label feature yet.

This app is great for the price! Ive only used it to scan UPC codes so far, and this has been very helpful for identifying items like canned goods in my kitchen. It took some playing around to find the best way to get the camera to capture the code, but it gets easier and easier with practice! Im looking forward to using the other features!

This is a great app. I am totally blind, and I have been using the app all day since I got it last night. it is important, to go to the website read the instructions, follow the instructions and then try using the app. Note, Im using 3 G.

Once I got the technique for how to place and hold the phone, I got wonderful results with this application. Definitely worth the $. It was frustrating to use at first, but it was my scanning technique that was causing my frustration, and not the application. It works well.

Ive been using Digit-Eyes since it first came out. While it takes a little bit of learning to get good at scanning, once you get the hang of it, its amazing how useful this app can be. I use it primarily to identify cans in my pantry. Its faster than putting labels on incoming stuff. You get to know where the bar code is, how to old the can, and can have successful scans in a second or three. The new extended information is great too. For many things I scan, I can get ingredients and cooking instructions. The developers are fast, friendly, and really want to help you get the most out of the app.

This app works with the built-in device voice over. There are many free QR code scanners and creators that will do the same thing. Very disappointing I paid for this. I thought it had something more for the price. Run - dont walk - from this app.

Bought this app for my visually impaired mom. When it works, it works great. But most of the time even with a perfect image of bar code, the app cant see it. Seems to like boxes better than cans. Only worked about 10% of the time. Please note I am not complaining about local brand bar codes needing to be added. If that is all it was this would be a great app. But it just doesnt "see" the barcode to begin with. App should been free or at least no more than $3.
