Response from developer

Vielen Dank! Wir haben die Updates und neuen Funktionen wieder aufgenommen – freue mich, jederzeit deine Ideen oder Feature-Anfragen zu hören.

Color picker is weird

When selecting add color, the color picker goes to some random spot on the picture, not in any way reflecting where my finger is pointing! So hard to pick the color I want.

Otherwise, I really love the app; I use it for generating color palettes for weaving projects.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the feedback! We’ll take a look at the color picker behavior and work on improving it in the next updates.

Water mark

Will there be any future options for a custom water mark or accessibility to export the hex code as a csv file?
