Con: While in AR Live View scanning different items, it keeps popping up the BUY PRO screen. Very annoying. No, I’m not trying to choose a pro feature. ### 1/5 — Yo *2025-07-25, version 3.3* I no longer need this app, so I'd like to cancel my subscription. Every single button on the Settings menu responds EXCEPT the "Manage Subscriptions" button. Conveniently even the "Upgrade to Pro Version" button in between the Manage Subscriptions and Restore Purchases button works; but the other two don't. So now apparently I've upgraded to Pro Version even though i was TRYING to cancel my subscription. At the App Store, the "Contact Developer" button also does not respond. This is UNACCEPTABLE. ### 1/5 — Not for anybody who wants to pay money just to see their eye color *2025-07-21, version 3.3* First of all, I don’t like this. I just wanna know what my eye color is and I don’t want any premium benefits or anything like that. I just wanna know my eye color is is it that is that so hard to ask don’t click on this if you’re gonna pay money if you want to pay money, I mean if you don’t, then you’re just wasting your time in here please if somebody works or anything or the person who made this please don’t make it for money or anything come on it’s just mean some people four years old or something. We just wanna know our eye color simple as that we don’t need to ask for too much you Know. ### 2/5 — Terrible distortion *2025-06-11, version 3.3* Not accurate at all. Glad I didn’t purchase. ### 3/5 — Does a great job but… *2025-05-30, version 3.3* This app does a great job in identifying colors but I feel like the app is constantly pressuring me to pay for the subscription. The app just keeps popping up the subscription screen when I don’t want to. I just want to use the app, not use my money for it. I understand the developer wants money for this app but you don’t need to keep annoyingly put the subscription over and over on the screen. It should be the user’s decision to support this app by paying for the subscription but really I downloaded this because I was drawing something and looking over an image. I had difficulties trying to guess what colors I needed to use. Seriously, put the subscription screen on the side somewhere where like a tab button to go to it instead of just trying to throw the subscription down my throat ### 1/5 — Incorrect color identification from photo *2025-05-26, version 3.3* So far batting zero in identifying color ### 1/5 — App not working on iPad Pro *2025-03-27, version 3.3* I'm disappointed at the functionality of this app on my ipad pro. Only two features work: take a photo and select a photo. I can't use the AR live view, color library, or settings. All the features of this app work perfectly on my iphone. My ipad is up-to-date. I hope the developers can enlighten me if it's a user error or fix the app if it's an app issue. ### 1/5 — Not functional without subscription *2025-03-09, version 3.3* This app and description used to work on a basic level without charging but now nothing works! Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Does Not Identify Color *2025-03-02, version 3.3* Don’t waste your time with this app. It does not identify colors with any level of accuracy. ### 1/5 — Not helpful *2025-02-19, version 3.3* I was planning on using this app to help me distinguish colors. Specifically in makeup as I have a disease that causes colorblindness. This app will pick up almost any blue as a grey, it even told me that a “dark denim” blue color was salmon? I’m sorry but don’t waste your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Portrait mode! *2026-07-24, version 3.3* Can you please put back the ability to use portrait orientation. ### 1/5 — Не понравилось. *2026-07-12* Не корректно определяет цвета. Пробовала определить по загруженным фото, через камеру. И дело точно не в цветопередаче телефона. Загружала картинки с инета с явным светло зеленым- упрямо определял то как серебристо серый, то как бежевый, то написал такое название, которого вообще не существует (по данным поисковика). Свою функцию не выполняет, еще и на этом фоне постоянно предлагает купить подписку 🤯 ### 1/5 — Wrong color family *2026-03-22, version 3.3* Tried different photos and color family is wrong ### 1/5 — Ridiculous advertisement of premium *2026-01-15, version 3.3* The app will literally suggest that I buy the premium version every two minutes while I'm using it that is extremely annoying. Obviously if I wanted to purchase it, I would've purchased it the first second third or maybe even the fourth time it prompted me too. This needs to stop. I don't wanna be prompted to buy a premium version every two minutes. ### 1/5 — Annoying *2025-12-22, version 3.3* I’m a pony player and I wanted to try and get these colours for my OC. Unfortunately when I would colour pick the colours of my pony I would try and click on the arrow and the arrow would do absolutely nothing as if the button wasn’t working. I have no idea why it was doing this and it’s really annoying so fix it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-12-10, version 3.3* Beige color the app says is blue? ### 1/5 — Worst color detection *2025-10-12* with most advanced iPhone ever **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Depending on how you use the app, you will need to select the color you want the app to identify in order to get an accurate reading. For example, if you are using the live view, the color you want to read must be in the small square in the middle of the screen. If you want to identify a color in a picture, use your finger to select the color in the picture that you want to identify. The free version of the app will provide a simple reading. If you need a precise RAL, you also have the option of using the precise recognition Pro tool. I hope my reply helps clarify how to use Color Name AR to get accurate readings and you continue to use and enjoy the app. Wish you all the best! ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2025-08-24, version 3.3* I do not feel that this app is able to identify colors accurately. Big disappointment. ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2025-08-07, version 3.3* The app gave me two choices, Ral 5012 and ral 5015. BOTH were too dark in reality. This cost me money that I was trying to save by using an app. ### 1/5 — Не работает *2025-08-06* Выдает рандомные цвета, удалил ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app!! *2025-11-24, version 3.3* I use this so much to find the colors of things. I play games with my kids at Disney it is so fun! ### 5/5 — Колориметр *2025-10-10* Шикарное приложение ### 5/5 — Excellent App for Color ID & Matching *2025-08-10, version 3.3* This is a very intuitive, well laid out app that works extremely well. I have not used the Pantone capability (requires subscription, and I don’t have need of it) but I have no doubt that the developer’s attention to detail will be just as well executed. ### 5/5 — Diletta Saponaro *2025-02-24, version 3.3* E stupendoooo🤗🤗❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 ### 5/5 — Accurate *2025-02-02, version 3.3* Very cool ### 5/5 — Extraño a mi ex. *2025-01-19, version 3.3* Es una excelente app!,la verdad para ser gratis está muy bien,me gustó mucho el como saber los colores de las imagenes y hasta con la misma cámara,simplemente LA AMO!! :) 🎀💗 ### 5/5 — Perfect match!! *2025-01-09, version 3.3* I just had to reinstall my Goodnotes app and lost a preset colour. I was able to feed a screenshot of my old notes into this app and it gave me an RBG value. I then used chatGPT to convert that into a hex code, and put the hex code into Goodnotes. It’s a perfect match! Thank you so much!!! :) ### 5/5 — YOU NEED THIS IS YOUR LIFE *2025-01-03, version 3.3* My entire life i have had no clue what colour my eyes were until now people say very different colours to me when I ask, but now I know. Thank you so much. Also it tells you every colour ever to exist i didn't know any of these existed until now. Very good. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Jerry S *2024-10-27, version 3.3* This is a most excellent product. I had been painting a photo of my wife and working on the eyes but could not determine the true color of the various parts thereof for weeks. With this product, I was able to get it right in five minutes. Don’t paint without it. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-10-22, version 3.3* And love that it pairs it to the closest pantone code --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
