Dropped $40 on a colorblind simulator app and it was a total waste

I thought paying for a premium app would give me better results than the free online ones. But all it did was apply a generic filter that made everything look muddy. My deuteranopia friend tested it and said it didn't match how he actually sees things at all. Are there any free tools out there that actually simulate colorblindness accurately, or is this whole thing just a gimmick?

Used to think the paid ones were better just because they cost money... but yeah, same thing happened to me. Total letdown.

Right? "Total letdown" is the perfect way to put it. I had this one premium app that had like 5 star reviews and it crashed on me every single time. It's like they spend all their money on ads and fancy websites but forget to actually make the thing work. I get that free ones have their own issues but at least I'm not out $20 when they fail. Totally with you on this one, it's taught me to read reviews way more carefully now.
