This is really great. I love seeing people helping other people in need. I still don't fully understand how this works but I find it very interesting. I personally don't know anybody who's completely blind but I do know a few people that are visually impaired. I'm definitely going to let them know about this.

I feel very happy when I see technology helping to make people's life better. As an android lover I always try to encourage people to help others through their apps. For many years and even today technology is blamed of destruction of environment, making people lazy and as a cause of many diseases.That's not completely wrong. But every thing has pros and cons. And the bright side of it is more powerful. Only thing we need to do is trying.

Hey @androidmaster thanks for coming here. Yes we dont use technology in a right manner and if used properly these apps are the best results. And i do agree with you that we should keep trying in directing the technology in the right path. by the way loved you steemit id. Have a great day :)

thanks for this app dear@Himanthoj
i found the app,its so helpful
i use this as soon as possible...this type of app remind me as a notify of daily activities...awesome work

Hi @sarsey thanks for you support. Please share this and also save it. These apps are really useful to people even with minor visual defects. Thanks for taking time and reading my blog. Take care

Awesome to see these people that are blind or visually impaired can be helped with these apps. Technology can help all of us:)

I downloaded Be My Eyes as I thought it was an amazing sounding app. However, I never actually got a request to help. But this is a great thing, it shows how many people are using it, and how many people are there to help. Such a cool app concept!

Yeah, salute to the creator

Hi @astro-science, thanks for stopping by. But i do not have any domestic problems, family or mental issues. As you are en expert in predictions, can you tell me if i'm going to use your service or not ?

This really helps, one of my colleagues' project is also about visualy impaired people. It also sends location of the person and alerts the family of any case the blind encounters trouble.

Hey @daisydelta , nice to hear that. Share these apps with your colleague and also try to get more information about the project about visually impaired people. We would love to hear more about it

Hey Hemanth thats such a helpful post, i think if anyone has someone who is visually impaired they can share with them what you have just shared with us. I wanted to know if you have any experience of helping visually impaired or are you in the health care sector?

Thanks @talhajaved8 . Yes, please do share these apps with people who are visually impaired, it will surely help them a lot. I do work for a blind school in India as scribe which means i will be writing examination sitting beside the blind student.

Keep up the great work brother. I will also do my part in sharing it with others.
