This is honestly awesome, such a nice idea. Love it!

Great idea, filling a real need for people. The app is straightforward; once you get set up you just wait until you're needed. You get a push notification when someone needs assistance, sometimes even if you answer right away someone else might beat you to it. But the fact that there are lots of people willing to help others is really great. There are many more sighted people than blind people on the app, so people needing help can almost always get it right away.
In the few years I have had this app I think I have actually interacted with someone twice. But it was a very rewarding experience.
Pros:
Simple to use and you can help real people solve simple problems
Cons:
Rarely receive notifications (not really a bad thing per se)

I've used this Almost weekly n a few times twice a week when I was able to pick a call and help someone.
Easy to use and great idea.
1. The only issue I faced was i sometimes missed to pick a call perhaps coz I didn't answer on the first few (1-2) seconds?
2. It's a good idea and ive been able to help people with tech n non tech issue too..lol yeah...
But I wondered if someone could give am incorrect help (I know there are people with good hearts, but there should be some mechanism-maybe feedback system?)
Pros:
Helpful to the needy
Cons:
Quick disconnect

Seeing comments here after more than 6 years of launching this app is awesome. It's really amazing to see how the app could grow that much in less than a decade, and it still growing for the sake of humanity. I've been using this app for quite a long time, and I'm very happy to have it as an essential app on my phone to help blind people around the world (✿◡‿◡)
