### 2/5 — Now useless as a Color picker

*2026-05-16, version 4.1*

Updated and is a step backwards. Basic functions no longer available. Have cancelled.

### 1/5 — Copy feature doesn’t work

*2023-08-10*

It might be my device but the clipboard feature doesn’t work :(

### 1/5 — Ads disguised as an App

*2023-05-23, version 2.0*

I had barely managed to get past the opening round of ads when it started asking me if I was enjoying the app. The very first color match I attempted, it began prompting me to install other apps. 

This is one of those apps that is just a platform for advertising.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2023-05-10*

When you want to get the color from an uploaded picture, the hec value doesn’t change as you switch from color to color.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-01-10, version 1.4*

Freezes up all the time and the adverts drive you mad.

### 1/5 — This app is so bad LMFAOO

*2022-09-25, version 1.3*

Tired to blend two colours but it said “length of hex must is 7-example #ffffff” which we all can count is.. 6?!? Also character* not charector so not only did you guys not pay attention in English you didn’t in maths either huh BAD REVIEW 💀

### 1/5 — Problem to loading

*2022-06-16*

Doesn’t work!! Got it yesterday and now wanted to open it and nothing!! Can someone help me? Otherwise I will unsubscribe. Thank you!

**Developer response:** We fixed it in the new version l. Please update app to latest. Thanks!

### 1/5 — Not easy to use

*2022-05-15*

Can’t make my color swatch large. Every color I have picked when clicked displays the same color pink. I go to the user manual and it was not helpful at all.

### 1/5 — Unübersichtlich und zu viel Werbung

*2022-03-30, version 1.2.2*

seit dem letzten großen Update.Schade. App deinstalliert.

### 1/5 — Entscheidender Schwachpunkt

*2021-05-05, version 1.0*

Man kann die in der App farbcodes nicht kopieren. Lediglich teilen geht. Dabei wird jedoch immer auch ein werbelink zu einer anderen App mitgeschickt und nicht einmal der hex-Code der gewählten Farbe mitgeschickt. So ist die App leider unbrauchbar.

### 1/5 — Reviews

*2021-04-29*

Need directions on how to use

### 1/5 — No RAL infos.

*2021-01-26, version 1.0*

There isn’t any RAL conversion. 
Pity !

### 3/5 — What’s the app for?

*2020-10-26*

Ok. Easy to use. Picked the color but I expected some kind of narrative or explanation.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — What a greedy app

*2026-02-02, version 2.1*

A one-time purchase is fully justifiable. But is a subscription service even needed here?

Can’t one just open photoshop and see a color or even access it in a website.

So unethical

### 1/5 — Ads

*2025-12-19, version 2.1*

Add more

### 1/5 — Monthly charge for BASIC utility?

*2025-11-26*

I have no problem purchasing apps but a monthly fee for something so rudimentary is just ridiculous.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the honest feedback — I completely understand why it may feel that way if you’re only looking for a simple color picker.

The app originally started as a lightweight utility, but recent updates are expanding it into a broader creative color platform with AI palette generation, brand color workflows, gradients, harmony systems, and ongoing design content/features.

For users who only need occasional color picking, free tools may absolutely be enough. The subscription is mainly intended for creators and designers who use these evolving tools regularly.

I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.

### 1/5 — Unauthorized charge on my card

*2025-03-17*

I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Application non intuitive

*2025-02-16, version 2.1*

Pas intuitif du tout

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2025-02-10*

The write up sounded good, but the ads made it impossible to do enough to evaluate the app to determine its worth. Don’t mind the subscription price, which is quite reasonable, but the ads got in the way of getting anything done. Pity.

### 1/5 — App del orto

*2024-10-20*

Bad app

### 1/5 — Arnaque au SMS / scam

*2024-07-23, version 2.1*

Attention cette appli vous amène vers un paiement SMS de 4,50€ frauduleux !

Be careful, this app will lead you to a fraudulent SMS payment of €4.50!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-09-16*

Unfortunately I found this app to be unusable. Its color picker gave me HEX codes that only had 5 numbers instead of 6, and its palette generator gave me colors that weren’t even in the image. FWIW I am sure this is not the typical experience. Please also be aware that the ads have the volume on by default, so you will need headphones on if you’re in public.

### 1/5 — Fake

*2023-08-20, version 2.0*

Tried to scan a photo, and it gave the hex code as “02022” which isn’t even 6 characters

### 5/5 — Works ok

*2021-02-20*

### 5/5 — Iujyuj

*2020-11-05*

VOh tyooogutoov can nay nI never upg gotta

**Developer response:** Thank!

### 5/5 — Identified

*2020-09-19, version 1.0*

I won the argument. 10/10 love it.

### 5/5 — Painting awesome

*2020-03-16*

I used this

**Developer response:** Thanks!

### 5/5 — Thanks for a simple and effective tool

*2019-08-14, version 1.0*

Does what it says on the tin. A shame to Adobe, all the apps they create and doesn’t even have this (which I can find easily anyway which led me to downloading this). A big thanks to this developer.

### 5/5 — Accurate colour detect

*2019-03-11, version 1.0*

Very handy app for colour detecting matching,
Thanks 👍

### 4/5 — Copy doesn’t work

*2022-02-06*

I can’t get the copy button to work but otherwise it’s great!

### 4/5 — Super je désire l’espace Cie Lab

*2021-05-19, version 1.0*

Merci

### 4/5 — Aqua diamond background is distracting

*2021-05-09*

This is an easy-to-use color picker that does its job well. I’m giving 4 stars, not 5, because the aqua blue diamond pattern that is the screen background makes it a little difficult to gauge the color. A neutral gray background would be better. Additionally, the color swatch at the bottom of the screen could be bigger (and the strip of aqua blue just above that can be turned into neutral gray).

**Developer response:** Thank!

### 3/5 — 👍🏼

*2024-11-28, version 2.1*

It’s very good , It would be great if you could change the text from gray to another color, because when the background is gray, the text is invisible.
