My experience is the same as Mairéad's after buyihng the LookTel on my
iHone.
The whole sceren is taken up by the camera-image which appears to be
updating its image every second or two
Compleely useless as is. I too would like a refund, and am looking for
information on how to get one - unless, of course, there's a way of making
the thing work.
Similarly, the app Vision-Hunt is supposed to read currencies, say colours,
say what light-srouce is, light intensity etc.
unlike LookTel, VisionHunt actually does something - but very badly. It's
light-intensity is always 'bright' - even in almost complete darkness. For
light-source it says nothing at all after spending a minute 'calibrating the
camera'.
The Colour ID is not good. It cost E1.99; I think I'll just put this one
down to a bad app.
