Disappointing
I color correct images and materials for artwork. I’d hoped this app would speed up my workflow and increase my accuracy when matching materials to their Pantone equivalents.
I purchased the color card and measured a few samples under 5K lighting with my iPhone 13 Pro—the results were way off.
I guess there is reason that this app isn’t being updated to support newer devices. Not recommended.c5nest
‘Free’ would be expensive
Poorly implemented, often offline or hard to login to. Equivalent plug-ins for the Adobe apps are equally bad. On top of that, zero customer support via chat or phone. Email is an option, if you can wait a day or two for a reply. Zero competition generates poor quality.AllApps4Work
If I could give it less I would
Great job to Pantone for making us pay for something that was free. Additionally, they've also taken a wonderfully simple interface which has existed for years and turned it into a plugin that is so confusing and cumbersome that it's maddening. Not sure which is more cumbersome, the interface itself or the fact that it keeps logging me out so I have to log back in.
I just want to scroll through the Pantone colors like I used to do. I want to see the PMS number of a color, pick it and use it.
This is a classic example of when a company tries to add additional features to justify a ridiculous price. This is by far the worst interface I've seen in a long time.Mark G from Charlotte
App is basically a browser for a single website
Every time I open this app, first of all, it isn’t formatted for a Pro Max screen size, so it is a bit awkward. And then, when I try to do the Measure / Color Match Card, it acts like I’m in a normal browser telling me to “download the new Pantone Connect app to measure colors with your phone.” Ummm. You mean the app I’m currently reading this statement in?Targstark123
Apple signup doesn’t work on iPad Pro
Tried it a few times. I even uninstalled & reinstalled but the Apple sign up is bugged. Doesn’t get past accepting the t&c.usamah.siddiqui
Hampered by greedy paywall
You can’t really do anything unless you pay them fees. What could have been a useful tool is now a junk app I’ll trash. Thanks for wasting my time.drcre8tive
Miserable
Setting aside how horrible it is to not have Pantone libraries directly accessible within Adobe products, let’s just look at Pantone Connect as the alternative to watt was a fully functioning way of working before.
Connect is complicated to set up and even more complicated to use. When you arrange your pallets, size, location, with or without borders, it does not retain that information. Nor are the pallets persistent. If you close in illustrator file, and re-open it all of your paladin information defaults to Pantone’s library of how to videos. Setting up your workspace has to be done again every single time.
Downloading or saving pallets doesn’t save all the relevant information. You could save a color to your pallets window, but it comes in this process rather than spot. Also, he comes in without the Pantone code It’s a mess. So difficult to use. Needlessly so

Bunch of orcs
You heard it here first (probably not)
- you must now pay a subscription to access colors! The greedy washed up [gentlemen] at the top need more money so they can pump their Dalmatians full of silicone. In cahoots with their overlord Adobe (the Sauron of subscriptions) they will pick every last penny out of your pocket- and when they’re done they will use those pennies to contribute to the ever growing wealth disparity!insipidboar
Removed easy viewing of pantone codes in palette
now you have to click/hover each one to see the pantone code. very inconvenient.Ttaetor
