### 2/5 — No Help With Dark Colors

*2025-11-05*

I am red-green colorblind. I really struggle with dark colors, i.e. I couldn't tell you if a dark pair of socks was black, brown, blue, etc. I purchased this for some assistance with this gs like that. Regardless of whether or not I turn on the flashlight option, the app tells me they are all Anthracite Grey, whatever that is.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-09-07*

This is honestly the best app ever. I just got this and I can finally see the world in color

### 5/5 — Quick and easy

*2021-06-14*

When I’m having issues in low light with close colors, this app is my only option.  I would gladly pay more for it.

### 4/5 — Better than the others

*2020-10-20*

Easier to use than others. Still needs work. I can’t distinguish navy blue from black wearing apparel. Thought this would help more but disappointed because there does not seem to be a filter for this particular deficiency

### 1/5 — Awful and Inaccessible

*2020-09-06*

I have Protanopia (red-green) color deficiency. I do not recommend this app for anyone who is, or is not colorblind. Firstly, this app claims to be accessible, meaning it claims to help with the inconveniences of a disability in some way. Making people pay for a pro version to have no inconvenience within the app takes away the point of the app in the first place. Secondly, they want you to pay to remove a part of the app they deliberately included within it. As you use the app, a bird will periodically fly across the screen and obstruct your view. If you want to use the app, but don’t want this bird to be on the screen every 5 seconds, you can buy the full version to “make the bird fly away”. If you plan to buy an app like this, please do not buy this one.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2020-08-01*

For 3.99, I’m not really sure if I got anything extra for the features but I wanted to support this app because it really blew my mind. I got a 4 out of 15 on my colorblind test if that tells you anything. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to buy the glasses so this a great test if you’re on the fence about them. I think I will buy the glasses because I ended up crying because I was so overwhelmed with how different I perceived the world. It made me sad and happy at the same time. If they add more features, I’ll for sure give this a 5 star and I think they will in the future but in the meantime 4 stars.

### 3/5 — Good but not sure

*2020-07-31, version 1.4*

App is simple and great to use but the only thing I wish it had was if it told me what type of colour or what tone of colour I’m looking at instead of it being so basic with just Blue, Yellow, Green and so on

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2020-04-29*

The only color blind app that is 100% accurate!

### 4/5 — Pretty good app, just one suggestion

*2019-07-24*

This app is pretty good, and the various correction filters are relatively accurate, but there's one thing that I would like to suggest— please fix this annoying glitch that disables the app's access to my photo album app, I'm not a fan of needing to restore my purchases every three days. Other than that, a pretty good app.

### 3/5 — Good effort

*2019-05-12*

Color recognition is not that great this app is acting like a color blind person 🤪, Good effort tho
