  • phone app ok , plug in is confusing

    Wish i could find tutorials on using this. The phone app is way more intuitive than the maddeningly conplicated CC plug ins
  • Login?

    I had been using this app for months, then all of a sudden, I need to login to extract? I tried logging in with both of my emails and it's just goes to screen where it says you need to login again.

    Hi There, Sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience. Were you able to successfully log into our application? If not please reach out to support@pantone.com to trouble shoot the issues you are experiencing.
  • Inaccurate results

    Doesn’t work. I measured a dozen chips on my Pantone coated book and not one color even showed up in fourth place. Tried it in sunlight, complete darkness with phone light. Very disappointed. Tried different file modes in the phone. Still no luck. You would have to show me a video measuring a Pantone book using an iPhone 12 Pro Max to prove it works.

    Dear Mike, I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with Connect. It sounds like you are using our ColorMatchCard to measure color. Can you please reach out to our technical support so we can troubleshoot the issue? Please email us at support@pantone.com.
  • Login to extract

    No thanks. Keep your tracker junkware.
  • New layout is hideous and clunky

    Pantone Studio was a much nicer layout. This is super clunky and messy. As a designer, I gotta say it’s really ugly. I loved Pantone Studio’s export feature where I could pick photos and have the pantones to the side of the image. The new version literally dumps the pantones into the photo and wrecks the look...obscuring the image I’m referencing. Maybe get someone with a decent aesthetic eye when designing an app for designers.

    Thanks for your review and pointing out this problem with the palette format. We're fixing it in an upcoming release along with many other parts of our UI/UX that need some love.
  • You can’t seat with us iPhone-12s

    Update Jan 3rd, 2021: Just tried it again and yes, glad to discover Color Match Card does now work great on iPhone12s. too. Glad to be able to use my card again with the app. Nice perk to start 2021 on the right side, Pantone. Thank you!

    Nice, "Color of the Year" launched. And the app has gotten a new update. It now includes a direct link to "Color of the Year." Yay! However, it is December 11th, 2020 is almost over, and Pantone Connect app still does not offer support to use its main feature - the Color Match Card measuring - with any of the iPhones 12 launched in 2020? Hello, Pantone app devs! Priorities please.

    Developer Response

    We're sorry for the extended delay, and are happy to announce that the iPhone 12 is now supported with the Color Match Card in Pantone Connect! Please contact our team at support@pantone.com if you need any further assistance with the app or the card.

    Liking the navigation and design of the app—easy to use and toggle between the different formula guides. Super convenient!

    Thanks for your review! All of our color guides are included for free in Pantone Connect.
  • Easy to use

    Surprisingly accurate and works great on my iphone, and I just figured out how to measure right into Illustrator! Still exploring the rest of the app but the navigation is easy and there is a ton of color packed in here.
