Incredible free app

This app is super helpful with two of my favorite pastimes: Home DIYs and painting. One of the best free apps I’ve used!

The app is 5 years old

Not confident this will get new features or development since it was last updated 5 years ago. It needs more for a paid app but it’s fine for free. Would have liked Pantone colours added for starters.

Непонятно

Очень кривой интерфейс, непонятно какие функции бесплатные, какие платные, как переключаться между экранами.

Great For Colorblind

Protip: you can get a year for 99 cents if you just click through the ads enough. They initial want you to pay more.

I’m an artist who is also color blind. I have trouble distinguishing green from brown and so I use this app to double check colors in my work and reference. I love it. Bonus points for all it’s color palette and scheme tools.

Great functionality even in the free version, which I used for months before upgrading.

Literally does nothing

I can’t do anything with the free version. Not sure why it is available as an option if you can’t do, well, anything with it 🤷‍♀️
