Fiery Red		 Great app, make greyscale easy to access. It so long hidden inside setting to officially turn on and off, this app make it very easy just turn on and off from the control center.

stoeren ungeheuer		 This is perfect! No root required, just connect to a pc with adb installed and give permission via copied command. Thanks!

Sushil Kumar Sharma		 Not the best choice. Needs root. Or PC to root or enable developer options comprising privacy and safety.

sunil k		 Amazing app. People are giving 1 star because we can enable these via developer option. But i guess it was meant to act as shortcut icon. Switching color mode to greyscale is just tap on icon. No need to go to developer option again and again.

Harshit Singh		 Good or not, you don't need this, just do this in your settings:- 1. Open Build Number, tap it several (7-8) times till you unlock developer mode 2. Open Developer Option/Mode 3. Under hardware acceleration, use stimulate color 4. Select Monochromacy and you're ready to go

Gorib Ullah		 I have root permission on my phone and this works as expected. But after locking and unlocking it disables automatically.

G K		 Best app in the market. Simple and does what it says. PC is required to install for non-root devices (using ADB tools). Anyway a tutorial would be helpful for new users.

A Google user		 It works, but it will recover to normal color after screen lock, unfortunately. I'm looking forward to the fix for this problem :-) My device is running MIUI 10.2.8

A Google user		 I hope you give tutorials on how to activate it because typical user or not a tech user like me find this hard. Or maybe you could give easier way that doesn't need commands from a computer.
