What a great idea! As a person who’s day is made by being able to help people via this app, I hope this doesn’t reduce the amount of calls I get sent!

Same but I wonder how well it will do… lots of calls are me saying to move the thing so I can read it or whatever. The calls tend to need back and forth communication.

How many of the calls involve colors? I signed up for the app, but I’m always worried I’m going to answer a call and it will be someone asking me what color something is and I won’t be able to give them a good answer, because I’m red/green colorblind. So I usually hesitate and then someone else grabs it.

I don’t recall any being about colour. Usually it’s about reading something, like which type of batteries are for this thing or how long to cook this for… that kind of thing.

Yeah as the other person suggested i suspect it's more like "when do these expire?" "does this have mold on it?" "what does this sign say?"
