Tried it for the last few days, more then 30 times, and kept getting different results. There should to be a custom timer and perhaps a movable camera button. Also, the red arrors for aligning to the center of the eye often blocked out my eyes so I couldn’t see them.

I downloaded this app to check my pupil distance. Upon first use It asked me to use a card BACKSIDE facing the camera (the bit with security code and a signature) This seems extremely sketchy to me. I understand that the owners of the app are going to come back and say that they never […]

It’s a little awkward and I only used it once, but I compared it to a manual measurement using a ruler for my son. It seems fairly accurate, giving me the same number I got on the first try whilst also recommending a separate value for reading glasses, which is what these are for. Seems […]

1st Review From the last update I’ve been having problems regarding the privacy settings, on both of my Android phones. Whenever I try to upload a new picture, a message comes from the app saying: “Please allow permission to pick an Image”. All the actions regarding the appp are authorized on the settings of my […]

I needed my pupil distance for an online order of eyeglasses and not having any ruler to use I downloaded this app without much confidence it would give me a very accurate reading. I followed the instructions to the letter 3 times and got 3 readings of 60mm. The 5 second timer was really useful […]

Really helpful, and easy to use. I recommend going through the process more than once, and focusing on the phones front facing camera for the most accurate reading. I only had to do it 4 times. First time I got 58mm, second time I got 57mm, but the next two tries I got 58mm again.

Bought the app to try to get my PD for my new VR headset but I couldn’t get the app to work with my device. Would either crash or fail to take a picture. I don’t have a common phone (Nubia Red Magic 3) so my device may not be supported. It seems this app […]

Does the job, wasnt sure at first because it’s easy to get different readings. Once covid hit and I saw specsavers eyeballing people’s PD with a bit of paper I figured it’s not an exact science. Your PD will vary depending on the distance you are looking at, so factor that in when you take […]

I’m glad I found this app. I used other apps to measure my ipd and I did not have good results. They were much more difficult to take photos and get the lines of the cards to position correctly as well as clearly see the center of my pupils. I measured multiple times with this […]

Couldn’t get an accurate reading, zooming in is broken. The edited photo was zoomed in but the position is not saved, so I only saw the blank space at the top of the image outside of where the oval was focussed. This made it very awkward for me to position the crosshairs, and made it […]

The app is easy to use, but if your phone is large, holding the phone and a card makes it hard to press the take picture button. This can be fixed if they just move the button to the middle left. Although it would be better if they gave you the option to place it […]

Super easy, and although fiddly to do if you have joint problems physically, even I managed to get a useable pic with card in correct place and straight. Taking a ‘selfie’ type pic is not something I can do easily, especially one handed. App controls make it very easy to align markings and works out […]

After numerous measurements taken with a paper PD ruler my husband and I ended up with different numbers. Then he tried another method that gave us a repeating number, but when you’re buying glasses on line you want to be absolute, right!?? We thought the app was worth a try to ease our minds from […]

The measurement was consistent with previous measurements using other methods. It allows you to manually adjust everything, so if it doesn’t detect your pupils correctly, you can fix it. I couldn’t hold the phone and activate the shutter at the same time with one hand, but there was a 5-second timer button that solved that […]

Its just not accurate. I tried it over a dozen times with different results each time. This led me to decide using a ruler and mirror instead, where I found it was around 3 or 4 mm different from all the results from this app. Additionally I later found that several online glasses retailers have […]

It works decently. I got 67mm using a ruler in the mirror and this gave 67mm. The only way that I could get a good result though was by using a tripod with a phone holder attachment. Would probably work better with a friend taking the picture for you also. I would like to suggest […]

Works great. Got one number for 3 tries, then got a slightly higher number (1 mm higher) the 4th time after looking into the distance when taking the photos. Need to go read the directions again to see if I did it exactly right. Will update shortly…. UPDATE:. I didn’t see instructions on how far […]

It worked well. I wish it had 2 features. I wish you could rotate the lines while measuring the card width, in case you hold it a little askew. It probably doesn’t make much difference, but it would increase my confidence in the result. Also, I wish you could zoom in while correcting the pupil […]

Fairly accurate, but can be difficult in selfie mode. Luckily, able to use a friend and rear camera to make a bit easier. Since the selfie flips for alignment, can be harder to get the card straight and flat on subsequent tries. Kind of important since the card is used for the basis of the […]

Incorrect measurements despite several attempts. Went to a eye doctor for a proper measurement and this app was about 10mm off.. Waste of $8. Also a pain to use when you can’t see the app. (While the setup boxes are bright, they are super thin, so when you have to take your glasses off for […]
