Great for people with vision problems. Just not for me

E70%
by E####:

Uninstalled. No documentation for it. Still experimental. Not worth the time. Sucks

Z70%
by Z####:

Interesting idea and a good start. Keep it up. Not for me however

Z70%
by Z####:

Shows what Android is capable of but not useful if you can see.

Z70%
by Z####:

Amazing, the idea is rediculous, the possibilities are endless.

As a visually impaired android user I see the potential to this app but it doesnt work with my Moto Droid. I will come back and try again later :)

I like the idea but seams only apps selection works? Time and location do nothing. And when u bring up letter ring if wrong ones u gotta gues tillfind

Great but some bugs still need to be worked out in terms of voice not activating or delayed.

S70%
by S####:

Exelent work. Just need more volume consitancy between the two voices.

N70%
by N####:

Innovative interface that doesn't rely on seeing to use android making it much more accessible. The simplified ui may also help older folk navigate

X70%
by X####:

Great! Using strokes instead of buttons is kinda weird, but it's a really cool concept! Can we get a music player that does this? I want it for my car

S70%
by S####:

Uninstalled and re-installed, now it works. Neat concept but the execution could be better

U70%

Has potential but not for me...Uninstalling.

To geniuses compelled 2 waste time via commenting: "nice app if u r blind...etc." if u drive a vehicle + live in SoCal. Plz move &/or ride bus

S70%
by S####:

great idea but very poor execution. the ui is hard to understand and navigate around.

J70%
by J####:

Why would the application need my location.

Force close ugh

X70%
by X####:

I've installed this on three phones now. I have five task specific eyes-free grids I switch among. I also use other launchers, but this one is my default. It's brilliantly simple and that makes it devestating useful when you're using your phone on the run.

Hello, I can't reply to Free, everything else has improved since last time I had it, fix that problem pleaseebook mobile texts with Eyes Fr

D70%
by D####:

Good enough

D70%
by D####:

Please add some way to navigate with the eyes free keyboard or an attached physical input device; that would be very helpful. second, can you please make it so you can turn off the startup sound, vibration feedback and proximity sensor? An all around great app though; as a blind user, I find it verry useful; a lot better than the friggin useless motoblur home app!

D70%
by D####:

Using the Eyes-Free Shell as my primary home screen, apps that have been moved to SD natively on Gingerbread are not seen at boot. The work-around is to hold the back button to run the stock launcher and tap home to return to the Eyes-Free Shell. This is a 5 star app except for this little annoyance. I actually wish I could give it 4.5.

Q70%
by Q####:

Lifting is necessary if you have more than a few app's. Results are too random.

R70%
by R####:

Good.

T70%
by T####:

Location widget chrashes on my IDEOS U8150, plus there's no toggle to turn GPS on and off.

New shortcuts gestures interfeer with use of back-button and other eyes-free gestures. Samsung Moment 2.1
