Be My Eyes: The Ultimate Free Visual Assistance App for 2025

Looking for a reliable way to assist or receive visual help? Be My Eyes is the go-to, free app that bridges the gap between those who need visual support and those who can provide it. This innovative tool is designed to help people see the world better, together.

Be My Eyes connects individuals who are blind or have low vision with a global network of volunteers and company representatives. Whether it's reading labels, matching clothes, or troubleshooting technology, help is just a call away.

Free, Global, and Available 24/7

With millions of volunteers and support in over 185 languages, Be My Eyes is a robust community that operates globally, day or night. Whether you're on iOS or Android, you can download the latest version and join this ever-growing network today.

Sign up as a user to receive free visual assistance for everyday tasks. From setting up home appliances to navigating digital displays, volunteers are ready to help via live video. For more complex tasks, the Specialized Help feature connects you with professionals from well-known companies.

If you have good eyesight and want to make a difference, sign up as a volunteer. Tasks are usually quick, and if you're busy, someone else will pick up the call. It's a simple way to contribute to a meaningful cause.

How Be My Eyes Works

1. Anyone aged 17 or older can sign up as a visually impaired user or volunteer.

2. Calls are connected based on timezone and language, with an average wait time of just 15 seconds.

3. Once a call is answered, a live one-way video (with two-way audio) is initiated, allowing volunteers or company reps to see what’s in front of the user’s camera and provide verbal support.

Note: Specialized Help availability varies by region and company opening hours.
