PDCheck AR

Glad I checked the reviews because I almost downloaded another app. This app gave me my measurements right away. I needed the info to make an online purchase and the place that gave me my prescription was telling I needed to come back in order for them to give me my PD because they don’t provide it over the phone.

This app is simply perfect. There’s no unnecessary walk through tutorials, excessive ads, or annoying pop ups. It’s straight forward, easy to use, and gives you your PD pretty much immediately after you open the app. It gives you the individual measurements for your left and right PDs, your far PD, and your near PD. The user interface is so easy my Grandma could use it. Overall great app that I’d definitely recommend for those needing their PD measurements.

Tried different app with more reviews first & didn’t like that I couldn’t read results without my glasses & couldn’t hold them to read with my glasses on. PD Check AR holds the results so you can read them & write them down. It also has a red/green feature that tells you when you are the correct distance from the phone. I was able to get duplicate results by moving closer until the green “Great! Please keep this distance” showed at the top of the screen. Just make sure the phone is at eye level & you are square in front of it. I tried to be eye level with the camera back lens in portrait mode as I found you could get a different reading if you were higher or lower than the lens. All in all, I thought this was well thought out & much better than trying to measure with a ruler & lots better than the first app I tried.
