Hi,

As I said it never occurred to me not to tap that button. It's stillcurious that some see it right away and others do not.


Still I'm glad it's back there.

    Hi,

    At least by my devices here in the USA it's definitely not the
    first search result with or without quotes. I find that strangely
    fascinating but can find no causality for why that is so. Still I
    for one like having choices and backups in case one stops working
    and the power to choose makes the world great.

    Take good care,

        Anyways, it sounds like ti does exactly the same as the Light
        Detection channel fo seeing AI so for me having just one app,
        Seeing AI, which can do what Light Dector does and so much
        more is my preference.

        Hi,

        That's how I found it I searched for the developer instead of
        its name and found it that way. Now that it's back those that
        had it already might see it once again in their purchased
        apps. I looked on the app's page to see if there was contact
        info for its developer but alas there didn't seem to be any.
        So while i"m glad for news of its return I'm still glad to
        know of other options just in case it should disappear again
        for any number of reasons not the least of which being that
        one day it might not be compatible with an iOS update. Still
        I'm glad to have it back in my toolbox of available tools for now.

        Take good care,

        Robin

            found it on “page 9 of 25.”  On my phone it was at the top

            Hi, Karen:

            I looked for a light detector app in the app store, but
            found light detector apps for fingerprint scans.  How is
            it represented in the app store?  Thanks.

            I didn’t realize until today that Seeing AI has a Light
            Dectector.  That’s good to know.  However I have the app
            called Light Detector, which I think may be the same one
            Regina mentioned.  I really like that app, and use it
            often.  It’s so easy!  You just tap the app, and it starts
            working right away when it opens. No menus to deal with.

            Hi, I really think it’s sad that seeing AI ditched the
            Light Detector. However, I found an app called Light
            Detector. It works very well. You just open it and it
            starts the highest loudest sound is that the light is on
            and then when you turn it off, it goes down to a low level
            of sound. That’s all that the app does. It’s called light
            detector. Hope that helps. On

            Hi Gradimir,

            It looks like Seeing Assistant Home has had quite a bit of
            good development since I first tried it several years ago.

            I do have a question.  It took a lot of digging through
            the tutorial to find the below section concerning the
            limitations of the light version which I copied from the
            tutorial.

            My question is, and I guess it is two questions, What is
            the cost of the non-light version and how does one find
            that version?

            I found nothing about in-app purchases in the app store or
            in the app.


                    Limitations of LITE version

            LITE version of Seeing Assistant Home has several
            limitations, such as:

             1. Lack of Dropbox support,
             2. Only 5 codes can be created,
             3. Only 10 characters can be embedded in QR code,
             4. Lack of voice commands,
             5. Magnifying glass and Light Detector can be used only 1
                minute every day.


                    Warnings and disclaimer

            Seeing Assistant Home uses internet connection to work. If
            you are not connected to WiFi network or do not have
            internet plan data transfer might result in additional

                The Light detector is still there for me.
                Double tap on Menu, then settings, then Reorder channels.
                Make sure Light says selected, if it doesn't, double
                tap it so it is selected and it will be there.
