I really wish this app worked

I was born with a cataract in my right eye, and I just recently heard about this app that can show people what it’s like to look at something with my vision but every time I take a pic the app just closes.

Doesn’t Work

It has a list of diseases, good. But then it just says “medical cause” followed by some lorem ipsum text, and no way to actually see the type of sight loss.

Love this but there could be better changes

When you reverse the contrast on the app it doesn’t show the whole app in reverse contrast, only the settings page. Also when you click more info on any eye disease it doesn’t say anything besides the whole Lorem ipsum dolor thing. However I am so happy I found this app I’ve had it awhile ago and I missed having it.
