Bug fixes

User reviews

Not all features working

Bought this app for the view giving all details of a color including CIELAB and CIEXYZ values. Unfortunately, those details seem to require server-side calculations (which are not currently working) rather than being computed on the phone. Hope that server support might be brought back up?

Trouble with the color details

I don’t understand. When I choose the color, the name and information isn’t loading too fast, it’s loading too long. And when I copy the info, it only shows nothing, (excluding the Hex) like rgb (0, 0, 0), hsv(0, 0, 0), etc.
Can you fix this, please?
Thank you.

Might be ok if…

It seems like it might be a good app, but without any instructions on how to use it, it is pretty worthless.

Love the app

Extremely accurate with the color picker. One problem I have is that the fps drops significantly when color picking a photo in your camera roll. Other than that this is a very excellently made app.

Update coming?

Hi there - just wanted to check if there is a plan to continue updating and maintaining this app? Right now since the last couple iOS updates not all functionality for the app is working - I can’t create new colors or review the details of one’s I have saved.

Response from developer
