Great aid for creating accessible visual media
I needed to be able to simulate different levels of color blindness of signage in the “real world” and as installed. This was a great way to verify that our public messaging was able to be read by people with different levels of color sensitivity.
Good, but could be improved.
I like it, and I like being able to select more than one kind to display, though it could have simulation of partial color deficiency, maybe with a slider for how much. It might also use some “About…” text popup that explains the app and how to use it.
One might also mention simulating dog vision - dogs have red-green color deficiency.

Great app! So glad it still works after all these years
Can’t believe how long I’ve had this app and yet it has never given me any issues. It has been super useful both for design work and as an educational tool.
I just have one small suggestion - it would be nice if the different types were explained somewhere so I don’t have to Google what the terms mean.

Great tool for designers
Fantastic tool for designers to check accessibility of concepts. It’s also a real eye-opener to walk around with this app running and observe the impact of these vision differences on signage and other environmental graphics and the world in general. I point this app at work on my screen, printed graphics, existing signage etc. It’s simple but so useful. Thanks for developing it!

Exactly what I was looking For!
I wanted to see things the way my boyfriend does so that I could understand his condition better and hopefully be better at picking colors for him! This gives a wicked side-by-side comparison. Awesome app!
Game changer.
This app is amazing. We only found out our 10yo son is colourblind this week. I was distraught! Couldn’t get my head round it (he is strong Protan). This app totally changed things for me! I’ve been using it to check out what clothes look like to him online before buying. I selfie myself to see how I look to him in what I’m wearing. (I am shocked that skin is grey). I’ve put in photos from days out at beauty spots and am relieved these places looked beautiful to him too - just different. I now know he sees blue and yellow, and then mostly varying shades of brown and grey! How we and teachers have not picked up on it I do not know!!! This app has helped his friends to understand and I think (hope) his teacher will use it too.
Honestly I am addicted to it!!!!! I have taken photos of everything in the house!!! The only thing of course is I don’t know where to place the slider really but it doesn’t matter if what I am seeing is not identical. It gives me a close idea and for that I cannot thank you enough. I went from feeling utterly distressed to high as a kite within minutes of using this app. THANK YOU!!!!

Great app for seeing a live comparison of color blindness.
I use this app extensively when making presentations for large audiences at work, and live event signage. It has been an invaluable tool to show the sales and marketing departments so they can create content viewable by everyone.
This is amazing for understanding
My grandpa is color blind. Has been for about 70 years now. We all worked together to get him color vision glasses. We figured out he cannot see red or green. The whole world looked so shockingly brown and olive almost like a black and white movie with surprising splashes of blue or yellow.
We used this to decorate the room, choose our outfits, the cupcakes and even a bright red and green rose. He is VERY stoic and even his wife almost never saw him cry but he did. His comment was “You mean you guys see this ALL the time!? I never knew it was so beautiful.”
Use this to understand your family/friends. Then please go get them color vision glasses because it is a beautiful gift that means more than you can imagine. Grandpa is now relearning what colors are called what. This app was a great creations thank you.

I can finally understand
I’ve struggled for a year to fully grasp how my boyfriend sees the world. Based on his discription, I was visualizing one thing, but was obviously wrong. I had him use the app on the split window, normal vision on top, Deuteronomy view and befor he understood what the app was doing, he said they looked the exact same, meaning that the simulated view was accurate! Blew my mind.

Thank you for developing this app
We only recently found out that our son (1 yr) has 1/2 chance of being colorblind. Using this app we identified items that if he were to be colorblind he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Turns out he isn’t. Way earlier than doctors could tell (~5 yr). Saved us 4 years of anxiety.
