Ratings and reviews

This app is excellent to show people what it is like to be colourblind. People often ask, "what does red look like to you?" It's impossible to answer, but with this app I can simply show them. NOTE: seems that with the recent Android 11 update on my Google Pixel 2 XL, I can no longer save images from this app to my phone. I get "Image File Save Error." I have checked the apps permission and they are all enabled.

in my experience as a colorblindness person this app was actually amazing, it gave me the ability to show the people I know my perspective vision of the surroundings and how can I see the world, but there is some points need to be taken in consideration to the developers of this app - there is some exaggeration of how red color appear as a DIRECT green!! that supposed to be the protan and that wasn't accurate for me actually, other colors was simulated good - also I hope to add video option

Very helpful since I have loved ones who are colorblind. I wish the app had a more modern UI, but at the moment it's the only Android app that allows me to see colors the same as my colorblind friends.
