### 3/5 — Printing

*2021-05-07*

Hello. I am not able to print out the full results. Is there a way to fix this? I was able to print full results in the past.

### 3/5 — Developer Information?

*2021-02-26*

I am interested in using the paid version of this app in my business, but the developer web site is offline and the app does not appear to have been updated recently.  I cannot use the app in my business if I cannot be assured of the ongoing viability of the developer / development company.  Developer, can you please respond?

**Developer response:** Hi there, the app hasn't been updated because the testing technique hasn't changed. It is generating a unique tests on each device and displaying a random numbers in order to make it hard to memorise your previous tests. Apologies for the website, if you have a specific questions please send an email to info at rilasoftware dot com.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2021-01-19*

Make my ipad pro crash everytime

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2020-09-08, version 2.2.3*

It’s pretty fast and simple, only one ad after the first question

My only complaint is that maybe (if possible) there could be more options to choose from, because you can usually piece together what it is through the answers 

But overall, really good for when you're bored

### 1/5 — Ads

*2019-10-01*

The ads are super annoying. No thanks.

### 1/5 — No support. I’m sure the app mentioned shapes, but I can’t find that in the app.

*2019-05-07*

No support. I’m sure the app mentioned shapes, but I can’t find that in the app.

### 5/5 — Easy quick and thorough

*2018-08-27, version 2.2.2*

Have been using this app as a screening tool for my vision research. 
Very quick and easy to use and proving accurate in detecting Color blindness.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2018-05-27*

Doesn’t really tell you anything.  Failing the test doesn’t tell me what type of vision problem I have.

**Developer response:** Hi there,
You can see all presented test plates and the deficiency type they test upon completion. It will not tell you what specific type of deficiency you have as you could be potentially failing on multiple ones. Simply check the plates you failed if you wish to determine which type/s you suffer from.

### 1/5 — This is a fake

*2012-05-08, version 1.0*

I downloaded this version and suddenly a very scary picture (I think from the exocist) appeared. Don't use it

### 1/5 — Couldnt figure out a single number on that stupid pics.

*2010-11-21*

The app says im totally color blind when i am apparently not.
