Description

So you have a friend who is colorblind... how does the world look to him/her? With this app, you can see what it is like to be red, green or blue color blind. If you are colorblind yourself, you can also correct it - but first check which type of colorblindness you have by seeing whether you can tell the difference to the normal view.

This application simulates and corrects color blindness in real-time using the integrated camera of your phone - so it is also a simple augmented reality application. All common colorblindness types are supported, it is also possible to compare with normal vision.

We are always reachable via apps@seewald.at in case there are problems.

IF IT DOES NOT RUN - SEND CRASH REPORT! IF IT IS TOO SLOW - USE HALF-SIZE MODE FROM MENU! 1* COMMENTS WITH JUST THE MOBILE PHONE MODEL WILL BE IGNORED. IF YOU WANT IT FIXED YOU HAVE TO CONTACT US DIRECTLY.

All our apps are 100% ad-free.

Fantastic App! I am so happy I found this app! My 10 year old is color blind and this allows me to see the world the way he does. It's fun for both of us and allows me to better understand why he likes certain things more than others, particularly clothing choices. I'm in the graphic design field and have above average color vision myself, so while it saddens me a bit that he can't appreciate color, this app helps me understand his vision and sparks some interesting conversations.

Without the app - strong protanopia. With it - normal color vision! I took color vision tests at two websites and got strong protanopia at 8:30. At 9 o'clock I installed this app, and the smallest app on the phone made the largest change to my body!! It doubled as the $600+ spectacles. I am finally able to beat Ishihara at least :D (maybe one day i'll be able to see the rainbow too :D)

Good! The actual heart of the app is great. The GUI could use a bit of improvement. Tapping the corners of the screen is a bit weird, and can be done on accident. A three way toggle, or maybe a setup menu for what you want would be better. As a color blind person, it's also impossible to tell if the split screen is on. A black line down the middle would be great.

Brilliant This is a terrific app. Previously, when friends/strangers learned I am colorblind, it was always stupid questions like "what does it look like to you?" and "what color is this?" Now I just show them this app, and without fail they are completely amazed at how I see the world. I also learned, thanks to this app, that apparently human skin looks "zombie-like" to me when my normal color vision friends use it to look at people. Maybe that's a part of why I'm attracted to certain women and not others.

Does not do spectral frequency manipulation This app does not do spectral frequency manipulation, so it does not work for the common anomalous forms of colour blindness such as protanomaly or deutanomaly. This makes it useless if you have these. If the app included facilities to make spectral frequency manipulation adjustments, it would be excellent.

Very helpful, but fix the camera focus I use this app to help me identify green conductors in various types of low voltage cables. It is a life saver for me, but I can't emphasize enough how frustrating it is that I often can't get the camera to focus on what I need to have it focus on. Especially when the lighting is somewhat low, and I have to focus on something close-up, I am frustrated by the camera not focusing consistently. The camera in my Note 4 is very good, but not with this app. I've experienced the same problem with my Galaxy S5, too

Awesome Great app. The only thing I would like is to be able to adjust how bad the color blindness is. You can adjust the intensity of the correction, but not the other screen. My son is 61% color blind and I'd like to see the world the way he does.

Robert Spremulli July 17, 2015

This does exactly what I need it to - help me differentiate colors in a pinch, like red and green poker chips, as well as teach others how I see. Only downside is that this app made my girlfriend sad when I showed her what a rainbow looks like to me.

Ron de Leeuw September 27, 2014

Not so great... I'm deuteranomalous, but this app only shows extreme cases of color blindness. Sorry, but Colorblind Vision is my Top Pick.

Scott Chapman February 10, 2017

This could be a good app if the developer would update it to check the camera sensor orientation and adjust accordingly. As it is, the view on a Nexus 5X is inverted, making it difficult to use to evaluate (for example) the image.

Well made and easy to switch type of blindness by tapping left corner. Though I would prefer the company logo to not be constantly visible (passive advertising). Touch it and a web page is launched, which is ripe for mis-clicks.

Ryan C March 23, 2013

Awesome! Shows you several types of color blindness. Lets you see like they see, you can do full CB or half normal split screen. Fun, small app.

Cherry Baby Not Phillip December 7, 2014

Thank u . Now I can tell blue and green find out what's colour my friends eyes r Wow . I nevr really minded though . Except now I'll know blue from green . Purple from Brown and orange ,red and pink will no longer be the same like blue and green are haha thank you

Great app to help develop data visualisation software. Really helps make sure the end products are as accessible as possible. Would it be possible to add a 'share screenshot' option? Would be useful to be able to (easily) email my work account the images sometimes.

Sky Goy September 17, 2013

Crashes instantly on Galaxy Nexus I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but to no avail. Hope this gets fixed, seems like a great app.

Seewald Solutions May 27, 2013

Try again, we might have fixed this in 1.561.

Ricardo Barreto October 18, 2015

Loving it I love this app it has helped me to see purple for the first time but im still wondering what im going to do since most job options are gone... keep up the good work

Christian Lawson-Perfect April 24, 2013

Superb Excellent app! The best colourblindness simulation/correction I've seen. I've learnt so much about what colours things are!

David Crawford February 19, 2014

Wow, excellent My son is red colourblind, and using this app on my Samsung Note 10.1 I can finally see how he does. It ismvery educational and illuminating. Thank you so very much!

AD AD March 7, 2016

amazing it makes you see colour differently indeed, and since I am color blind i am not sure for the new color but i got 10 of 12 correctly. you need to play with configuration thu. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH

Tim Maddison January 12, 2016

Great app Helps prevent stupid questions.

Shaun Esther December 19, 2015

Camera is flipped My camera appears flipped and I can't adjust the rotation to make this useful.

Andrew Maxwell July 31, 2014

VFF If you're a fruitcake with nothing better to do then this app is perfect for you. However, be warned: THIS APP DOESN'T MAKE STUPID PEOPLE CLEVER!!! And yes, I am colourblind, so I know what I'm talking about, yeah!

Seewald Solutions August 2, 2014

The app gives colorblind people like us visual information that is not otherwise available... what to do with it is of course another issue not adressable within the app. ;-)

K V Ketan September 9, 2014

Amazing experience Concept and execution both are great. Let's people see the world from the eyes of a colour-blind person. Nice tool for accessibility testing as well

Donald Walls September 24, 2014

Didn't work This app did not correct or fix my colorblindness at all. Glad it was free!

Renato Vieira July 31, 2013

Doesn't work on asus transformer Screen just goes black

ham radio February 12, 2016

It works for me. Very good app. It works for me. I can see all the things that I never seen before.

Kirk Wydner April 12, 2017

I just installed this for my colorblind friend and he passed a colorblind test for the first time in his life. Now all he needs is a VR headset. :P

Natalie Spenver January 25, 2015

I hate it so don't get it

Louie Dickey October 4, 2015

Dog day afternoon This app when set on deuteranomaly allows you to see how your dog does. Thanks.

Randy Roper September 6, 2015

Nope nope Way off. I'm a protan and this makes green and orange the same. When I can tell them apart.

Jack Elfrink December 11, 2015

Customisable I like that I can adjust the intinisity. I am only partially colorblind and the other apps I have tried are too intense

Matthew Petersen October 1, 2014

Beau Johnson September 14, 2013

Awesome! Interesting to see!

Tami Day January 23, 2014

Nifty .....Can it do anything else?

Seewald Solutions August 2, 2014

We tried to put in the MAKE_COFFEE permission but it did not work for us. If you are colorblind, don't forget to check out the correction mode (via menu or tap top-left corner). Otherwise... yes, that's all it does.

Pankaj Patel May 12, 2016

Good Excellent +

What's New

Still the only free colorblindness simulator with correction capability. Thanks for downloading!

NEW: Android 4.2 Support - fixed copyPixelsFromBuffer() crash due to API change.

NEW: Tablets with ARM 7a should be significantly faster

NEW (ONLY FOR COLORBLIND PEOPLE): Added correction mode (Daltonization) - tap top left or use menu! Adjust the error distribution between the two channels you can see using volume up and down. Now you can finally see what's in these Ishihara plates!
