Great App, but AI Needs Language Options Be My Eyes is a fantastic app that's truly a lifeline. However, a major issue is that the AI assistant only understands and speaks English by default. Even though we can set a language for volunteers, we can't do the same for the AI. This forces us to repeatedly ask it to switch to our preferred language, which is very inconvenient. Please add an option to set a default language for the AI.

needs an update ASAP! 🚨 I love the idea and like many others I genuinely want to help but I had this app installed for about 5 months ago and only got about 5 calls but everytime I receive a call there is always a connection issue on the server's end because I am always connected to my good internet connection at home. please fix this problem, it bums me out that this keeps happening and I dont want the people that call for help feel upset because they dont know this problem is happening.

Update 2025, I've only gotten 5 calls in over 5 years. it's great because that means there is no lack of volunteers. 2023 STILL a awesome app to help others. This is probably the best idea for an app. I like to help people and this app let's me do that and selfishly I get that feel good feeling. I didn't expect a call right away but I got one in 3 days. The app could use some simple changes. Like changing the notification sound. I've missed two calls for help. But overall this is decent
