Comments on WHOeyes for Android

★★★★☆ Md Hedayat Alam · Aug 6, 2026

Hello Team, I would like to share my feedback about the Who Eye app: Distance Accuracy: The app is not very accurate when identifying objects or text from a distance. However, it works quite well for near-distance scanning and recognition. Best Use Case: It feels much more useful and effective when used in remote or rural areas. Great for Low Vision Users: This app is extremely useful for people who have weak eyesight but do not wear glasses. Overall, it's a very helpful tool. Keep up

My eyesight is gone. Passed the 1st test but failed the 2nd one. This app does what it's supposed to do. You should add voice commands in the future, so we can do the long distance test by ourselves.

Waste of space It showed a letter E and you have to tap in the direction it is pointing. Tried various interpretations of 'direction' but kept scoring 0. Also, often ignored taps in any direction. Uninstalled.

★☆☆☆☆ Scarlet Hertz · Jan 31, 2025

I tried the long distance test. It didn't show what to do after we've identified the letter. Do we wait or what? I tried tapping to change to the next letter, but it's either not changing or very slow to do so. And at the end the score is 0! Like I don't know what to tap to input the score! The screen was blank except for the letters during testing!

★☆☆☆☆ Jon Highstreet · Sep 22, 2026

Good concept but placing the E in a tight box is not great. It adds extra noise around the character and not needed causes it to be more difficult to see than same size text that is not inside a tiny box. Why not also have option to read a sentence like other tests do. Also, you couldn't spend a second to type the distance in US imperial? Like say two meters (6.5 feet) or the conversation of CM. Seriously, we have to look up a conversation due to pure metrication for a WORLD health org.

“A WHO app to check your vision”

Screenshots by World Health Organization, from the Google Play listing

Description by World Health Organization Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.

Many people with vision loss are unaware of it. Regular vision checks can ensure that vision impairment is identified at the earliest so that you can take action to continue enjoying your sight. WHOeyes is a free mobile application that tests distance and near visual acuity and is suitable for anyone aged over 8 years. The app is available in multiple languages.

The principle of WHOeyes is based on how an eye care professional would test your vision using a conventional chart in a clinical setting. The accuracy of WHOeyes was tested in multiple research studies.

The app does not replace the need for regular eye checks by an eye care professional, even if your vision is good. WHO and the developers of the app cannot be held responsible or liable for any incorrect results.

WHOeyes is compatible with Android 8.0 and higher and screen size 5.5 inches and larger.
