As an adult, I’m not exactly in Ambyloplay's target demographic—it's designed primarily for kids. However, I’ve been looking for a way to train my eyes to help with strabismus and amblyopia, so I gave it a try. Instead of using special glasses, the system recommended I wear an eye patch, which was a bit of a letdown given the hefty €60/month price tag. You'd think they could include an eye patch (which costs only a few cents), but nope! Luckily, my kids had an old pirate eye patch lying around, so I made do.Comparing it to another health-related gaming product, Perifit (which helps you train your pelvic floor through games), Ambyloplay falls short in several areas. With Perifit, you pay once and gain access to a community and regularly updated games. There’s a much wider variety of games, they’re less frantic (a plus for me), and they offer solid, detailed stats. Ambyloplay, on the other hand, really misses the mark in terms of tracking and feedback. You can do a vision test each week, but the results aren’t explained or compared to previous tests, so you’re left guessing at your progress.I also don’t understand the gaming system. You get a score after each game, but it seems irrelevant—the important part is that you complete the training to earn diamonds, which you can use to customize your character. Sure, this might be motivating for kids, but it doesn’t do much for me. Plus, the score isn’t saved, so you can’t see how you performed in the past or how you stack up against others. The score seems entirely pointless, which is frustrating.Overall, while I’ll stick with Ambyloplay for a bit longer due to the lack of alternatives, it’s definitely not worth the subscription price. €8-10 per month would be more reasonable; €60 is just too much. Even my kids, who usually love anything on a screen, find the games boring. That says a lot!
