### 1/5 — カメラ使えない

*2026-08-05, version 1.1*

カメラボタンを押すと落ちます......
カメラが使えなくて不便です

### 2/5 — 気に入ってました。すごく良い。

*2026-06-24, version 1.1*

iphone15からiphone16に変えたら使えなくなったような…このように色の割合を表示してくれるアプリ最高でした。今まで悩んでいた混色の悩みが一気になくなりまして、便利。

### 3/5 — Should be primary colors.

*2025-12-11, version 1.1*

CMYK is a terrible choice for this unless you work in the print industry. For everything else, RGB and RYB. I’m confused. Missed opportunity.

### 5/5 — 仕事で使える

*2024-01-19, version 1.1*

経費の節約になり感謝してます

### 4/5 — 便利過ぎです

*2023-06-15, version 1.1*

プラモデルの塗装の調色に使っています。
色弱の私には見え辛い苦手な系統の調色を大変苦痛に感じていたのが、このアプリを使って行えるようになり、塗装が楽しくなりました。
ずっと使い続けようと思います。
ありがとございます。

### 5/5 — Polymer clay

*2022-12-22, version 1.1*

This is an alternative to a polymer clay mixing app thst no linger works.  It gives those of us without an eye for it an idea on what colors need yo be mixed together to achieve a new color.

### 1/5 — App fishing clipboard

*2022-12-03, version 1.1*

This app is trying to fish whatever you have on clipboard, It is ridiculous that this app has passed Apples review.

### 5/5 — Gunpla Users Check It Out

I use this app all the time to customize my paint mixes I had a similar app but couldn’t find it again and this came up and it works even better than that 5 stars well deserved

### 4/5 — Nice, but..

*2021-11-30, version 1.1*

Simple and works well. I wish it had the option of using red, green, and blue as the primary colors..

### 5/5 — AMAZING✨✨✨✨

*2021-04-04, version 1.1*

I had a really hard colour to mix and when I downloaded this app I was amazed at how easy it was to mix my paint
