I've been a user of Be My Eyes since it first launched on iOS. It's a wonderful concept, and an absolutely brilliant use of technology and crowd-sourcing for humanity! All the Droid users out there: get this app now and join in.

I literally just had this idea two days ago. Glad someone is already working on it. Some questions though, how can the blind person know where to click on the app to open it? Are there accessibility features built into the app?
Ahmad Al-Bahar
@holly_chisholm there are accessibility features such as voice over an iOS that enables blind people to use iPhones completely on their own. There is also talk back on android. I'm typing this comment right now using voice over on my iPhone.
