Is your vision decreasing? Do you have trouble seeing nearby or from a far? Could you use some support when you are reading, for instance because of dyslexia or because you need reading glasses?

Better Vision App is the essential all-in-one application that can help you with, for instance, reading the newspaper, menu cards, street names, bus numbers or recognizing products in the super market.
