Ratings and reviews

Beautiful idea well done. God should bless you! Just wondering if you could do an update that would enable the user to control zoom and maybe contrast from a Bluetooth gaming remote (like the one that comes with VR headsets) that would make it way more useful for people. Thanks! What's the likelihood of you adding this feature in the next few months?

I like the idea of using this as an alternative to real glasses but the image is too pixelated (unless it's my camera) but things close are okay things in the middle are pixelated and things far are smooth. Would recommend if your vision was very very bad

Very interesting free app, but gets me dizzy because it lags so much. Plus, without a remote, this app does nothing.
