Comments on Seeing AI for Android

★★★★☆ Juan Torres · Apr 18, 2026

I downloaded this app to assist me with my vision as I am visually impaired. It works usually well, however I have noticed a bug. Whenever I try to delete a recognized face in the "People" tab, it never actually deletes and just comes back. Also, if I may add a suggestion: please make it be able to recognize pets! My daughter has a small black cat, and it would be very helpful to be able to identify her as we have dark furniture, and I don't want to accidentally harm her. Thank you.

★★★★☆ Ian Martin · Jun 23, 2025

Most apps for the blind or vision impaired require the user to fumble around on the screen trying to locate the control buttons/functions. I don't understand why developers of apps for vision impaired people can't make them controllable via voice commands i.e. 'Hey google, open Seeing AI in Color/currency/describe mode', etc. Then, once the app is opened they should be able to say, 'change to read mode', 'change to barcode mode', etc.

THE NEW FEMALE VOICES ARE HORRIBLE! I would have given a higher rating if they hadn't changed the voices. The female voice I was using is no longer there. It says there are over 50 voices, which is a lie. The same voices repeat. The female voices are so high-pitched an obnoxious that I seriously considered deleting this app. Seeing AI just went from being the best ive tried to the one I avoid. Way to go...

This is an amazing app which I was using, but recently I'm not able to open the app and use it. My device is Motorola e7 power, Android 10 with screen reader Talk Back 16.1 which was recently updated. Can you please address the problem and suggest if it's not compatible with versions of the device and software used?

It used to work in taking pictures to read pages. Now the Android version at least has deteriorated to unusable and it no longer shows you whether the page edges are within the scope.
