### 1/5 — No way to catalog how many I have of each color

*2026-06-24*

Not all i wish it was.  This could be innovated

### 3/5 — Works pretty good

*2025-03-16*

It does the job but could use an update. I am unable to do the color matcher twice in a row unless I close out of the app completely and reopen it. It’s very hard for me to read the white text on the magenta, yellow, and white circles during the color matcher; would be better if the text was black instead so that I don’t struggle so much.

**Developer response:** My last update was fairly recent. I’d appreciate an email if you are having any issues. Info@claybox.ca

### 5/5 — New version is great

*2023-11-03*

The updated version is great.  The enhancements make the app more usable.

### 4/5 — Clay box

*2023-09-18*

I love the clay box app but it really needs to be updated. There have been new colors and recipes released but they have not been added to clay box.
Suggestion: it would be super nice if there were already designed color palettes on this site, now that would be amazing and very helpful.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. I’m assuming you mean new Premo colors. I’m never quite sure if limited edition colors should be added since they may be hard to find.  I just added an update (version 5.3) with a few new colors. 

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll work on adding some pre-made palettes to the app also. Hopefully I can release it in the next couple of weeks

### 3/5 — Lacking functionality/features

*2023-08-18*

It was only $5 so I said what the heck, unfortunately it lacks a lot, not very user friendly
I’d like to be able to make alcohol ink recipes with my clay but I can only blend clay colors (you must select 2) and Cernit translucent isn’t even an option. I also don’t understand the premade recipes, are they all equal parts? When you have 1/7 white, what does that mean??

### 5/5 — So helpful!

*2022-04-05*

Great app for mixing colors. Would love to see Hobby Lobby’s Advanced line added to the palettes.

### 3/5 — More Cernit color lines, please

*2021-07-28*

This is good app to play with polymer clay colors, but as a Cernit aficionado, I would like to see more than just the Number 1 line included. Many of my color recipes use the new Cernit metallics and it would be nice to include them.

I also didn’t find the interface to be intuitive.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I have added the Cernit metallics to the database and the new version should be in the App Store in the next few days

### 5/5 — Super great app

*2021-06-11*

Learn about colors and patterns and make my life more simple and easy at the moment of create!! Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Clay box

*2021-05-23, version 4.2*

This is a great help in choosing color variegations to work with in polymer clay. Thank you for your help in this development.

### 5/5 — Impressive and exactly what I needed

*2021-03-28*

This needs more exposure. Truly the best app for anyone making polymer clay jewelry and canes. Sculpey or Fimo should buy this app, upgrade the graphics, and market the heck out of it.
