Thanks to the person who made this app. It feels really good to help someone ♥️
It took them long enough to make an android app nearly ten years being how close to 90% of the market is android now they may have lost a chance.

Hey Renad, yes it is good to help.
Why don't you donate one of your kidneys, to the local hospital.
You will feel very special for a long time, as there are many people waiting for kidneys on account of they being born with poor kidneys.
Much like giving blood, you are assessed by a doctor to ensure your kidneys are superfluous to you life-long needs.
.
Just a thought; I'm feeling better already !
Have A Nice Day.

Stop being a douche someone wants to help someone and you want to make a mockery out of it you’re an asshole
Definitely 💗
@@Siemianowicee Well, this was insolent. Why don't you give your house to someone who's homeless? Why don't you offer free tutoring every day after school to struggling public school students? Why don't you become a volunteer firefighter? You'll feel special.
Let people help to the extent that they feel they can, or else put your challenge to a whole group. Don't slap someone who's already done a kindness and punish them for not doing the kindness you want them to do. This was cyberbullying that you committed.
As a blind person, I use this app often and would especially encourage sighted people here to try it out by volunteering!
I hope I can be here to help when you need it then

I have a friend who is vision impaired. Is there any sort of fee associated with this service?
@@karenwagner6880 It is completely free.
@Ghost_ I use a program called a “screen reader” that reads aloud what is on my phone screen. You might think that blind people are completely cut off from screen technology, but most of us use this same technology to use both phones and computers. There is even technology that converts what is visually on a screen into Braille. I also sometimes use this technology. This technology is called a “Braille display”.
I really love this app. I’ve gotten quite a few calls and sometimes if I’m at work or just can’t answer it goes to another volunteer. But I answer when I can. Like today a man just needed some help figuring out what the settings were on a washer and dryer. It took me about 3 minutes out of my day but felt good to help someone with someone most people take for granted.
That's really kind of you
Thank you for being there for us! ❤
Downloaded it. Can’t wait to get my first call. I’m sure tears will flood my eyes once I help someone. This is such a brilliant app. We need more apps like these. I love it.
Hey. Have you gotten one yet? Lets be excited together^-^
Have you gotten any calls?
@@heyepicgamers i sure didnt
Have you gotten any calls? I downloaded today and I can’t wait to help someone. I already have tears
Xavier Mathews I’ve smiled and excited when I got my first call
To the 13 people that dislike this video, you can come catch these hands
Samdm h13 Best Response on all of UA-cam! You win!
I'll help
Now ther's 16 of them...😖
19
Gosh darn it! There's 22 now!
I am so happy that I found this app. I get to help people even though I have limited physical abilities.
I just got my first call! So excited to help!
A nice man just needed help finding a charging cable he had dropped. He was so happy to have found it. I was so nervous, but talking it out together and some moving to the left/right we found the right cord! Success!!!
Proud to be a volunteer on a team that has given the blind and visually impaired a second set of eyes. Thank you Mr Hans Jørgen Wiberg for inventing Be My Eyes
Why would someone downvote this video?
Brian Hauger heartless. That’s why ):
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion
An Grammar Nazi the opinion being what?
@@nando448 that they did not like the video...
Because he dumped most of the almond milk down the drain after the sighted person brought it to him.
I'm a volunteer from saudi and I am really happy to help ♥
YER OK FAKE ACCOUNT 🤣🤣🤣
@@letsbehonest4221 What's wrong with you?
I just found out about this and signed up right away. I am so excited for my first call! The world is a better place when we all work as a team. 💖
I would love to be your eyes. I’m typing this in tears because it gives me so much hope and joy that there are people out there that want to help.
Thanks guys at be my eyes, and to you seers... Cool Beans! Love You All.
My son is legally blind and I’m thankful for this app. Can’t wait to help others too.
Finally on Android, good work guy.s I would recomend having the optiong to dont get calls on specified periods of times
That's an interesting idea!
Are you Brazilian? 🤔
Really? Who will help me then? Are you a seer or Blind? I use it late at night to raid the fridge.
only if your sighted
It's still in it's infancy. They will grow through trial and error. This is a great app!
I am a new volunteer, I am doing it because my friend is blind, and because of him, I know how some things are hard for blind people.
That’s really reminding us that there is still kind humans in this whole worlds
If you have questions about being blind you can ask me if you want. I am a blind man myself and I do not mind.
Proud to be helpful to someone, no matter where, when, who!! This is great; because we can make the difference in a life.
I got my first call this afternoon. I was preparing food for my dog. I tried to finish quick as soon as possible but then when I picked up, another volunteer helped that person. Ughh.. I was sooo excited for my first call 😩 Next time, I hope I'll be ready when it comes ❤
العرب الموجودين معا لنساعد الكفيفين🤝✨
❤❤❤
I was so excited to answer my first call today!
I just helped someone find their water bottle. Absolutely awesome!
Your comment is brief and to the point. I love it.
A perfect example of what this wonderful app is all about.
Us sighted folk can take an awful lot for granted, can't we?
Watching this on my way to work and I teared up a little. Damn made me emotional. This is such a thoughtful idea. It will be such a great help. I am installing one right now.
jacking is my favorite thing to do
Sou voluntário no Brasil. Conheci o App pela Empresa VIVO! Maravilhoso demais este app
Soy voluntaria en Argentina 🇦🇷, me encanta esta app, por más gente que ayudé, feliz de pertenecer a esta App
What a beautiful act of kindness ❤️
I just got my first call accepted and helped a woman pick out certain color fashion accessories to help her with her outfit. Good deed for the day, done.
This app make my Faith in humanity to up a considerable amount
Thank you Mr. Hans for giving us the privilege to be a help to someone in need, its amazing to be part of this great family of love.
first learned about this through the movie, but was presuming it was just an American based app. Just learned today it's international, so immediately applied as volunteer, it's such a great idea
I just installed this and am anxious and excited to get my first call and start helping people.
I have just had the pleasure of joining BE MY EYES as a volunteer. 4years ago I thought I was losing my sighting it frightened me, but I was lucky enough to have my problems rectified. I hope that I can help someone via BME .
Just had my first call this morning after 2.5 years. Amazing to help someone 😊
A first time and new volunteer from Philippines. I can't wait to have my first call. Sending hugs and love. 🇵🇭💞
If you have questions about being blind you can ask me if you want. I am a blind man myself and I do not mind.
I absolutely love being someone else's eyes. It's so fulfilling and the voice on the other end is always so pleasant... I'm glad I can help🥰🥰
You will win heaven for this efforts God bless you
I am so happy to be part of the group. I wish I can help many times people from the App. Congratulation to Hans Jørgen Wiberg. It was a wonderful ideia.
Missed my first call, looking forward to the next one. I love this app
I joined after running across this by accident. My 90 year old father is trying to live independently as a blind person. His vision has gotten worse and worse. Only problem is he’s so proud and stubborn. His insulin pump failed the other night so he had to give himself insulin via syringe. He couldn’t see how much he was giving himself and did it by feel. Luckily he woke up the next day!!! I can FaceTime or Skype with him directly but thought I’d join because I see how difficult it can be when you just need an opinion or a bit of help and you can’t run to your neighbor for everything! Great app.
I would so help if I could, but I dont have the greatest vision myself, and so I dont think I could provide efficient assistance to anyone.
To all those who are able to help and are helping, the world needs more people like you. Thank you.
شكرا جزيلا لكم على هذه المبادرة الطيبة تطبيق راقي ولديه رسالة سامية احببت ذلك واتمنى ان اساعد الناس ❤️
Happy to help. I had this app since 2019 and only got two calls so far so I get really excited when it happens.
Thanks for App creater
It is a chance for busy people to make something good in them live and make helping another people that's really needs for help
Thanks again
To those people who disliked . Thank you for donating your eyes to the needy 👀😇😇😇
Brilliant. What a beautiful way to use technology and be human about it.
Fantástico! Estarei sempre presente quando for preciso!😍😍😍😍😍
I saw the ad and then i fetched this video to like it. This app should win the app of the decade
Great thing especially during the cover 19 pandemic. I had to stop my meals on wheels route due to my age and immune system, but now I have something else to replace that ability to help others. Thanks!
THIS is the kind of app and what I have argued about for the LONGEST TIME SINCE CHILDHOOD. That the differences between us all on this Earth is often due to falsely created wars, propaganda and socioeconomic differences. Without all of that, people are intrinsically good, whether it be etched on our souls, programmed in our DNA or just out of a sense of security and to function within a society. Looking forward to contributing myself to others through this app!
Je suis si heureuse de pouvoir participer à cette chaîne humaine..merci à tous ceux qui ont permis cela......ayant un.membre de ma famille non voyant je mesure l importance de ce lien..
I have a serving brother his is legally blind And his twin my other bother passed at birth. I think that this is absolutely wonderful!
I'm so bad with directions and super awkward to talk to but if i can help anyone even a little in little things that'll make my day. And wow thanks UA-cam, for an advertise that i actually liked.
I'd love to be a part of this beautiful
example of people being helped by
Techl. I'm happy and honerd to be involved..
I think the idea of this app is brilliant, but I can't help but worry that someone will take advantage of it. I'd hate to imagine it, but sadly, there are horrid people out there, who take advantage of the blind.
(This did make me smile, though, the fact that there are people out there willing to take a minute to help another is just so wholesome and sweet.)
Yeah, i imagined a blind person asking where are their keys, and the responder was a psycho and made him grab a knife instead of his keys, and probably injure the blind person
@@Gigachad3607 I seriously doubt that kind of thing would happen. Keys and knives or other dangerous objects are not kept together. Blind people are used to using their hands for information they don’t get from their eyes, and are thus more sensitive to what they feel. People intent on hurting others are not the kind of people who volunteer to help others.
@@Brineytoes Ah, thanks
So glad I found out about Be My Eyes at Mitzvah Day yesterday at Temple Beth Rishon in Wyckoff, NJ. This is a way to helps others, which is a reward in itself, and, a way to make the world a better place, tikkun clam..
I’ve downloaded this but I’m so scared I won’t be enough help for some reason, could someone share their experience and tell us how it went
Darksky ; literally the thoughts going through my head...
I bet you were already able to help a few by now. If you haven't yet, yesterday I received my first call and I helped him set the knobs of his washing machine. It was very brief but very fulfilling.
Hyacinth Estidola i was scared bc English isn’t my first language so I always get anxious I won’t be as much help as I’d like to,and thanks for sharing your experience 💜 i appreciate it
@@darksky1933 Same! I'm from the Philippines :) Here's to helping people in small ways!
Hyacinth Estidola god bless you :)
Of all the ads..... This one avoids me from skipping. And here I am watching this again.
Just downloaded and am now a volunteer.. great initiative. 💪🏼👊🏼
What a beautiful app, feels good to help someone :)
I received my first call today! So happy to help❣ I love this App!

Es demasiado gratificante ser asistente en momentos que para ellos son difíciles pero para nosotros tan cotidianos, me siento feliz de ayudar y es bonito saber que cada día son más personas las que se unen para ser voluntarios
You know this is a great thing thank you. never been happier to see a ad on a video
This is such an awesome App. So thrilled to be one of the many volunteers and help in making a difference to a blind person!
Downloaded and waiting for my first call. I'm so happy to be able to help
Thanks to a French youtuber named Joyca, I finally found this app ; and immediately decided to install it. I'll do my best to share it around, and I cannot wait to getmy 1st call :D
A big congratulation to you guys, You're amazing and I couldnt be more supportive of this :DD
Oh and, it would be amazing if we could see the stats of people on the app per country :D
Merci Joyca ! 😄

J'attends tellement mon 1er appel, t'imagine même pas 😂 JE VEUX AIDER DES GEEEENS
KyaCeption Kya Pareil le concept est génial et ça peut vraiment aider ! J’ai fait mon compte tout à l’heure, j’attends aussi 😂

برافو لمن عمل هالتطبيق شكرًا
没有看到中文的评论啊，难道这是第一个？很欣慰出现这样充满关怀的app.今天刚注册志愿者。
Just became a volunteer I can’t wait to have the opportunity to help others
Just signed up to help, what a great 👍
Thank you for making such a beautiful app for us, lots of love from Hindustan
Just signed up looking forward to maybe helping someone oneday 😊
I will help those who may need my assistance!
I got a couple a blind friends that basically do the same thing. I at times act as their eyes. It's cool that there's an app out there that can offer assistance.
I cannot believe how many 1-star reviews there are in the app stores from sighted people who are mad that there aren't enough blind people who need help to do every day tasks. 😤 They're giving the lowest possible rating to an app that helps people with a significant disability just because the app isn't calling them enough and giving the person without the disability enough opportunities to feel good about themselves.
Can't wait to get to help my first person
We are inspired by your channel! Thank you for sharing! :)
This apps touch my heart...thanks who invented this...🙏🥰
God bless you 🧡
I downloaded it today and i’m looking forward to help someone out.🙏
Have you had the chance yet? I signed up today but haven't received a call yet.
Same
I havent got any calls yet too.
I just downloaded and I can’t wait to help. this is such an amazing idea and I know it will help so many people! 🙌
23 people disliking this video they have no humanity left in them
Or maby they have concerns of the potential dangers this app can have.
..ps - I am not 1 of the people who clicked thumbs down
Maybe they were blind people that got the wrong button...
Fantastic concepts.
Superb 💓❤️ touching.
just an amazing work this could be the best app ❤️
I just downloaded it and I'm really exited to help people!!!
If you have questions about being blind you can ask me if you want. I am a blind man myself and I do not mind.
