After that you either have to pay or get ads. As there was no obvious way of getting past the ad I deleted the app. Waste of time- there are plenty of similar apps that allow you to try before you buy, or at least offer limited free functionality ### 1/5 — Unusable without in-app purchases *2026-01-29, version 2.5.2* Without coughing up a subscription fee, each attempt to open up your camera results in a prompt to make a purchase instead of, oh, I don't know, the camera opening up! ### 4/5 — Bash *2026-01-20, version 2.5.2* Very nice ### 1/5 — Forced ads even with pay. Bs. *2026-01-13, version 2.5.2* Sucks a lot. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-01-12, version 2.5.2* Can’t click anything without those annoying ads, that give you a fake x button and spam open the App Store. Then I went to select an image, but the ui moved because of the constant ads, I clicked the wrong one, and it used up my go, and wouldn’t let me click the right image. ### 1/5 — Ads block use of app *2025-12-30, version 2.5.2* Suddenly ads are blocking the use of this app and I paid almost £20 for it. I think this app is a scam. There is another with almost same name & icon which works! ### 1/5 — Offensively greedy *2025-12-24, version 2.5.2* Only three free IDs per month unless you pay for the service. I am colorblind and use these apps to help me figure out what things look like. Ridiculous. Do not use. ### 1/5 — So annoying. Constant adds, doesn’t work *2025-12-10, version 2.5.1* See above ### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible *2025-12-06* The color identifying part is spot-on, but the app itself is apalling. The first time I logged on it would even let me do the actual identification and I had to wait until the next day. In addition, every time i try to use it, it takes me about five minutes due to the nonstop ads and the perservering money grabs. When i do get it, it only lasts for about two minutes. Do not get this app it is horrible and i do not reccomend. ☹️ ### 1/5 — Horrible app experience and pricing *2025-11-23, version 2.5.1* 1st, as a free version this app has so many ads it’s ridiculous. I mean it’s almost a social experiment how many ads this app has. 2nd. This app provides a pretty useful function. But $50/ year?!? Or $15/month?!? Netflix and Amazon subscriptions cost the same as this simple color function app! No way. I would probably pay $5 for this app. Like the old days of the App Store. Get off your high horse. ### 2/5 — was better in earlier versions *2025-11-15* interface is horrible. feels not like a tool more like a toy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Spammy *2026-05-25, version 2.5.5* Annoying push to purchase and unable to avoid a rubbish game to even get in to the app. Don’t bother. Other much better apps are available ### 1/5 — App is useless *2026-05-18, version 2.5.5* The app is useless. It couldn’t accurately identify the color I was trying to identify. A greenish color is black? The I get hit with some make up video ad that I couldn’t close. ### 1/5 — Impossibly long ads *2026-03-19, version 2.5.3* Minutes long ads ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Color blind self! *2026-04-17* I am not sure how many of the users are actually using this app because they are color blind. I have a hard time telling a difference between blue and purple. This app helps me by identifying colors for me so I can assemble an outfit ready for the next day. It has been amazing when it comes to distinguishing blue and purple for me. I had just purchased some purple Jordan 4s which are fire in my opinion. I thought I had plenty of purple shirts, but nope they are dark blue lol. So black or white it is for a shirt to wear wirh these shoes. Thanks Color Identifying app for making my life just a little bit easier. ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-01-01, version 2.5.2* This app is good ### 5/5 — This app is awesome *2025-08-23* I have bought almost 200 mica powders in the last year, and most of them are not labeled with the color. This app nails it perfectly with the ones that are labeled. **Developer response:** Hi Tina! Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re really happy to hear the app helps you with your work or creative projects. It’s great to know the color detection aligns so well with your labeled shades. We’ll keep improving the app to make color identification even more accurate and helpful for everyone. Thanks again for your support — it truly means a lot! 💛 ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-07-17, version 2.4.1* Fantastic For knowing what colour an item is, I’m colourblind so it helps me a lot ### 5/5 — Great Help *2025-07-03, version 2.4.1* I’m partially colorblind. This app is a great help! ### 5/5 — Big help for us colorblind folk! *2025-06-30* I use this tool all the time at work to correctly ID colors in presentations and spreadsheets. **Developer response:** I'm happy to read such reviews. We're preparing an update for colorblind users and I would like to get some feedback from you before release, could you please email me at irishinxapps@gmail.com? ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-06-21, version 2.2* Very good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
