### 1/5 — Don’t buy this app

*2023-01-12*

This app is exactly the same as the free version called ValuePal. It doesn’t have any extra features whatsoever. What at rip off! I want my money back!

### 1/5 — App? What app?

*2021-05-03*

This is without doubt the worst app I’ve ever paid for. Clearly not worth even a quarter of the cost. I’m shocked Apple allowed this in its store.

### 5/5 — Great little tool for painting and art work production

*2020-09-13*

Giving you a five star for making my life easier love your work.

### 5/5 — Helpful App!

*2019-08-04*

Helps give accurate values to your painting!  Very handy!  Although the number range is backward to what I am used to, I still find it helpful for colour mixing and assessing and matching just what the value is of the colour.

### 3/5 — Image is distorted

*2019-04-01*

When I first got this app in Oct 18 it worked brilliantly, now it stretches my image. I am using iphone 10

### 1/5 — One trick pony

*2016-11-11, version 1.3*

This app does read the values in an image as advertised. 
But:
1. It doesn't allow direct comparison of those values between the subject and the work.
2. The values are taken from photos which may be alright for the subject but is problematic for the artwork.
3. There is no provision for creating a value map to work from. This requires a lot of going back and forth.
Suggestions:
1. Allow import of both source and painting for side by side comparison.
2. Even better, allow for real time comparison between source and painting. Use the camera to view the painting directly to the source. Or have a real-time comparison between a live source and a live scene or subject or palette.
3. Allow for the creation and saving of a value map. Without this, the app becomes so cumbersome as to be useless.
4. Reduce the cost or add the above functions. This app is nowhere near being worth the $14.95 price point being charged.
