### 1/5 — Won’t let you access photos for color identification without subscription

*2026-07-21*

This app would’ve been great to help me identify colors for screenshots, but after trying it out once, it won’t let me go pass a subscription screen to try it with another one. Don’t waste your time with this app.

### 5/5 — Very helpful app

*2026-07-06*

I'm an artist have a slight color blind deficiency. It can get very complicated always asking people for confirmations on the colors I was using. This app is so helpful and easy to use. I love the camera feature! And the fact they keep it free is a big plus.

### 1/5 — USELESS

*2026-07-05, version 2.5.5*

Everytime I select a color, it shows it for a second then shows something completely different.

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-07-01, version 2.5.5*

Save your time, you can use it a handful of times before you need to buy a made up currency inside the app. Really shady and immoral.

### 1/5 — Not a color picker

*2026-06-29, version 2.5.5*

This app is an ad picker. It does not have a color picker tool like a windows color picker that would sample an existing pixel and declare its hex values.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — Horrible!

*2026-06-27, version 2.5.5*

Absolutely useless app. Tried six rooms, all painted the exact same color, and it couldn’t identify even one correctly. Gave  me six completely different color choices. Absolute waste of time.

### 1/5 — All Ads

*2026-06-13, version 2.5.5*

Thought this was free but it is not. $30 a year and if you don’t pay can’t get by the ads.  Poor app.

### 5/5 — Good identifying!

*2026-06-11*

So far I’ve used this to identify a few different colors around the house and it’s been working great.

### 1/5 — Testversion ohne RAL

*2026-06-09*

Das Abonnement beinhaltet eine 3 Tage Testphase. In dieser Zeit kann man die RAL-Funktion nicht nutzen. Danke, aber so muss man auch keine Testphase anbieten.

### 5/5 — Favorite color identifier iOS app

*2026-05-25, version 2.5.5*

Long-term marketer and creative. Great app, easy to use, fast. Great for websites, photos, pdfs.
