Spur app doesn't seem to exist anymore (unless their site has been down for a few days). I get a 502 error when trying to get to their website, and I've tried on Chrome and Firefox. The ZURB site is working fine as are some of their other tools, it's just the spur app that has the error...
If spur app doesn't exist anymore, does anyone have any other suggestions as to similar sites?

I usually run color blindness tests on Photoshop, but it takes time. -Can't believe it didn't occur to me to look for an app before.-
I did a tiny research trying to find another option for spur app and found this: http://colororacle.org/
I tested it on my Mac, and it's quite decent. You can quickly test the 3 main color blindness deficiencies of a website or document on your monitor.
Just noticed they also have other app suggestions on their site: http://colororacle.org/links.html

5,797 Pointsilithya, still no spur app. I thought it was awesome, not sure why it doesn't come up. I'm going to shoot their company an email and see if I get a response.
The app you found looks good, I'm going to check it out along with the other suggestions on their site. Thanks so much!

15,300 PointsThe link Dejan gave (http://zurb.com/word/spur) works for me.. I wonder if they moved it and the link on the main page is broken? They only have a few updates from 2015 on the Zurb website... the link on the site takes you to spurapp.com which does not work,

5,797 PointsJacob Bender I've gone to the link above, but you have to click on the "spur it on" button at the bottom of the screen to actually use spur. Does that button work for you and allow you to use the app? I'm able to see the page describing spur on the link (http://zurb.com/word/spur), but when I click the "spur it on" button to use it, I get a 502 error. Does the same happen to you?
Jacob Bender
15,300 PointsMicole Noddle - Yes, It is because the link on the page that works links to the broken page... I wonder if they know? I called the number listed but it seemed they were out. I am interested in seeing Spur in action on my pages so I may call again. If I get through I will let you know.
Cheers.
