Airpoly works in 7 different languages, and after winning the innovation award at CES 2017, the developers are already working on Aipoly glasses.

Finally, something truely useful for a smartphone. I´ll download it just to support them.
Surely it should be free if registered blind? It works fantastically well!my cousin is losing her sight day by day this is a godsend!
