### 4/5 — 功能中文翻译修正

*2026-06-23*

非常感谢开发者修正了功能的中文翻译

**Developer response:** 在今天的更新（11.6）中，中文本地化问题已得到修复。非常感谢您的反馈，这帮助我们改进了我们的应用程序！

### 4/5 — Issue with UI

*2026-04-03*

It’s not made very clear how to add colours or palettes to custom folders or the ‘liked’ category.  I eventually figured it out, but it could be made even more obvious how to do it.  Other than that, it is a great app with a lot of features that are valuable to visual artists.

**Developer response:** Hello, I understand your concerns regarding the UI and appreciate you taking the time to share them. We will work on improving it in future updates. Thank you very much for your feedback!

### 4/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2025-01-25*

This app is exactly what I wanted! I really appreciate the different tools and it’s really helped my creativity! My only wish is that I could edit the name of my saved colors so I can rename them to match the numbers on my markers. Otherwise this app is perfect!

**Developer response:** Hello! The ability to name color combinations will be added in upcoming updates. However, if I understand correctly, you’d also like to name individual colors within a combination? Please feel free to email me at euart@yahoo.com with more details - I’d love to consider your suggestions in the upcoming updates. Thank you so much for your feedback!

### 5/5 — An artists dream

*2024-11-19, version 10.5*

This app is awesome. I'm genuinely so impressed by how many powerful features this has. 10 out of 10 for sure

### 4/5 — Would be great with added camera

*2024-10-10*

Works well for every colour I can think of and a few thousand I can’t. It would be nice to be able to take a photograph and get a reference swatch from that.

**Developer response:** Hello, please use the 'Image Colors' tool to get a color or create a color combination from a photograph. Thank you very much for your review!

### 5/5 — Das neue Update ist unglaublich

*2024-09-04*

Das neueste Update fügt das Kontrastverhältnis hinzu welches sich perfekt fürs Designen von Webseiten oder gestalten von Grafiken eignet. Ich bin Motion Designer und das Tool macht meine Arbeit definitiv schneller und einfacher. Die App lohnt sich absolut.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Es freut mich sehr, dass Sie die App nützlich finden!

### 5/5 — Application très complète

*2024-08-10*

Application très complète et simple d’utilisation.
Grande réactivité du développeur en cas de questionnement.
Au top!

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup pour votre appréciation et votre soutien!

### 3/5 — Good potential but not intuitive

*2024-07-28*

This app appears to have loads of features and the developers have clearly put a lot of time and effort into it’s development however it is very frustrating to use.
The key use for me was identifying a colour and then using this on the colour wheel. The app has buttons to copy colours once identified but actually “pasting” them back into the colour wheel is nigh on impossible. Really needs to be simplified or made obvious. I spend way too much time clicking back in and out of options trying to find the colour i just found only to realise it’s been overwritten.
Also when you find a colour combo you like and adjust it it is not reflected on the wheel and you have no way - I can see - to force the wheel to update.
I’m hoping it improves with time but at the moment it is too frustrating to use.

**Developer response:** Good day!

Regarding your first question about importing a color from the "Color Picker" into the "Digital Color Wheel," after selecting the first color in the "Color Picker" tool, a "CW" button will appear in the top right corner. Clicking this button will open the selected color in the "Digital Color Wheel."

As for your second question about saving a combination and reopening it, once you have configured the combination in the color wheel (or in the fine-tuning tool), you can save the combination using the button that looks like a bookmark. After that, in "Color Combinations," you can click on the dot in the top right corner of the combination, and from the menu that appears, select "Open in editor." This will reopen the combination in the fine-tuning tool.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I will be sure to include more instructions in future updates.

### 5/5 — 太棒了

*2024-07-07*

非常喜欢

**Developer response:** 谢谢你的评价！很高兴你喜欢它！

### 5/5 — Auch für Fotografen!

*2024-06-20*

Genau die App die ich für die Bildbearbeitung als Fotograf gesucht habe! Intuitiv zu bedienen, für die Ergebnisse die ich benötige! TOP!😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für die fantastische Bewertung! Wir schätzen es wirklich sehr!

### 5/5 — Excellent Resource for Color Information, Color Wheel

*2024-05-28*

Although I don’t understand all of it, it’s a great reference tool for all sorts of color information. I like the wheels—makes everything so simple! Helpful for design, websites, fashion, and many other uses.

**Developer response:** In today's update, instructions have been added to color combinations in the “Digital color wheel”, we hope this helps you figure it out. Thank you for your feedback!

### 4/5 — Colour

*2024-05-24*

Very useful for matching colour in the garden or when choosing paint

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Glad it was useful to you!

### 5/5 — Simply incredible

*2024-02-09*

It does everything you’d ever want. I’m not even exaggerating.

After my paper color wheels started falling apart (again), I decided to see if there was an app version I could get instead. This one seemed good based on reviews, and the price was reasonable. But wow! I was still blown away by how many features this app has. You get much more than a simple color wheel.

Good forever, flimsy paper color wheels. I won’t miss you.

**Developer response:** I'm glad the app proved useful to you! Thank you very much for your review!

### 5/5 — A must have tool for any photographer

*2023-12-20*

I was looking for a colour wheel app online to be more accurate in my photography work. I’ve realised there are only a few of them there, so I decide to give this app a try. It is a mind blowing tool with so many capabilities and a super easy interface and video instructions. The app also educates the user as you go along and there are so many things about the colour that I’ve learned from it. Thank you so much to the developers for this wonderful tool!

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review! I’m glad to hear that it was useful to you!

### 3/5 — Found a few bugs

*2023-11-10*

When using a photo to find colour numbers - I am not getting the 4th colour number

Also a black square could only be cleared by quitting the app

**Developer response:** Hello, I'm unable to reproduce the bug you described; the fourth color adds without any issues on my devices. Please send me screenshots or a video of the bug to my email (euart@yahoo.com) or through the support page. Additionally, provide information about your device and the iOS version it's running. Thank you very much for your feedback!

### 5/5 — Хорошо, только вылетело

*2023-09-02*

Был момент: когда в первый раз зашла в раздел «цвета с камеры» и разрешила доступ к камере, оно вылетело.
Еще было бы здорово добавить функцию сохранения картинки в фотопленку с отобранными оттенками из раздела «цвета с изображения» без элементов интерфейса. 
А вообще, приложение классное, спасибо!

**Developer response:** Добрый день! Чтобы сохранить цвета в фотопленку, сначала сохраните их как цветовую комбинацию, далее в инструменте 'Цветовые комбинации', зайдите в разделе 'Сохраненные' выберите Вашу комбинацию и нажмите на точку в правом верхнем углу и выберите 'Сохранить как изображение'. Вот короткая видеоинструкция по этой теме: https://youtube.com/shorts/caBTd3oZwH4?feature=share . Большое спасибо за Ваш отзыв!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — 中文翻译的太好了

*2026-06-12*

“三合会”，“广场”，“明暗破坏者”，“语气”，竟然都是这个色环里的功能的名字。人无语的时候真的会笑。🤡🤡🤡 我申请退款，说app用不了，苹果说“不符合退款条件”。🤡🤡🤡 我就是小丑，打开这app就感觉这些功能名在嘲笑我。太膈应了，删了删了。

**Developer response:** 在今天的更新（11.6）中，中文本地化问题已得到修复。非常感谢您的反馈，这帮助我们改进了我们的应用程序！

### 1/5 — Плохой UX

*2026-02-10*

Куча избыточных функций , при этом основные базовые очень неудобные.

**Developer response:** Огромное спасибо за ваш отзыв! Если у вас есть идеи по улучшению или вы можете описать элементы, которые вызывают неудобство - пожалуйста, напишите мне на email: euart@yahoo.com. Я обязательно учту ваши пожелания в будущих обновлениях.

### 1/5 — 新图标太丑了吧！

*2019-11-05*

还不如原来的，这像一坨啥

**Developer response:** 感谢您提供反馈，我们将在以后的版本中对其进行修复。

### 1/5 — Useless • Inutile

*2019-07-18*

Rigid app with preset tones and paucity of options. Color caption with the camera does’nt work. Lost of money by buying this unfinished app.

Application rigide avec une faible palette de couleurs pré-choisies, difficile à moduler en temps réel. La captation de couleurs par la caméra ne fonctionne pas. Le concepteur de l’application a beaucoup à faire pour cette app payante.

**Developer response:** Good afternoon, in today's update a digital color wheel was added, it is absolutely flexible in adjusting the color (millions of variations), and the "Isolate color" tool has also been replaced by a digital one ("Color Picker") and now it displays digital color values.  We hope that our app will be useful to you!

Bon après-midi, dans la mise à jour d'aujourd'hui, une roue chromatique numérique a été ajoutée, elle est tout à fait flexible pour ajuster la couleur (des millions de variations), et l'outil "Isoler la couleur" a également été remplacé par une roue numérique ("Pipette à couleurs"). il affiche les valeurs de couleur numériques. Nous espérons que notre application vous sera utile!

### 2/5 — Some glitches

*2025-01-09, version 10.6*

RYB color mixing doesn’t pick up correctly from clipboard. No abstract option in classic color wheel.

### 2/5 — Vraiment déçus…

*2024-01-13*

Décevant, beaucoup moins d’options que le l’espérait, très limiter…

**Developer response:** Je suis désolé d'apprendre que notre application ne vous satisfait pas. Pourriez-vous s'il vous plaît nous donner plus de détails sur ce que vous n'aimez pas ? N'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un e-mail à l'adresse euart@yahoo.com. Vos commentaires sont essentiels pour nous aider à nous améliorer. Merci beaucoup pour votre contribution!

### 2/5 — Color Picker too sensitive

*2023-06-02, version 9.1*

Doesn’t matter how close or far I am from whatever the red dot is pointed at, or how stable the iPhone (11 Max Pro) is, the color output numbers fly around whether using hex or rgb format, making it impossible to get an accurate read.

### 2/5 — Zurückfunktion fehlt

*2021-06-02*

Zurückfunktion ist verschwunden im letzten Update
Und ständige Bewerten Aufforderung nervt
Sonst gute App

**Developer response:** Hallo, im heutigen Update (7.0) wurde der Fehler mit dem Zurück-Button behoben und die Möglichkeit, Umfragen in den Einstellungen zu deaktivieren, hinzugefügt. Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback!

### 2/5 — Trava direto,

*2021-02-13*

App lento, sem explicação, e tutorial...

**Developer response:** Boa tarde, no canto superior esquerdo de cada ferramenta há um ponto de interrogação ao clicar sobre ela, uma breve instrução aparece. Além disso, as instruções de vídeo serão adicionadas em atualizações futuras. Obrigado pelo seu feedback!

### 2/5 — Kind of confusing to use

*2021-01-30, version 6.3*

I want to use Color Picker (camera) to sample a real world color and then load that same color into Color Mixer so I can play with the color.  I can’t figure out how and the instructions are not helpful.

Picker shows a hex color but you can’t edit the hex code in mixer or load saved colors... kind of frustrating (unless I’ve missed a feature)

### 5/5 — Color Wheel

*2025-12-05*

Very nice random color combinations. Couldn‘t belive that some colors work together

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you very much for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed the color combinations.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2025-10-04*

This color wheel is perfect for fine tuning my mixing paint for artwork.  It gives me enough tools that I can get the exact color I want to go for.  Having that in front of my eyes allows me to walk the mixing in until I have an exact match.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback; it’s wonderful to know the app has been helpful to you!

### 5/5 — Awesome sauce!

*2025-09-07, version 11.0*

This app is really great. The thing I enjoy most about it is the color picker where you can point your camera at a color and this app will give you the hex code. Super enjoyable and helpful!!

### 5/5 — Using for years

*2025-08-14*

"Color picker" option is one of my go-to options to name a color. Place the red dot on the color > add > names the color (and saves to clipboard).  App has all the other options as well including complementary colors.

**Developer response:** Really appreciate you sticking with the app over the years, and glad it’s been useful to you. Thanks so much for your feedback!

### 5/5 — 学习Lightroom配色绝配

*2025-07-25*

正在学习Lightroom配色，有了这个色轮，比教材里抽象的色轮实用多了！谢谢这么好的免费APP！

**Developer response:** 我很高兴您觉得这个应用有用——非常感谢您的反馈！

### 5/5 — Impeccable

*2025-06-17*

Merci 🙏

**Developer response:** Bonjour! Merci beaucoup pour votre retour!

### 5/5 — Bonne application

*2025-05-16*

Pas d’accès à l’appareil photo malgré un réglage autorisant l’accès. Balance des gris indisponible. Je désinstalle
Mise à jour : après réinstallation tout fonctionne correctement. Je mets donc 5 *

**Developer response:** Bonjour,
J’ai tout vérifié et l’application devrait fonctionner sans problème. Lorsque vous ouvrez un outil nécessitant l’accès à l’appareil photo, une alerte système devrait apparaître. En appuyant dessus, vous serez redirigé vers les réglages de l’application, où vous pourrez autoriser l’accès à la caméra.

Si le problème persiste, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire à l’adresse euart@yahoo.com. Veuillez inclure des détails comme le modèle de votre appareil, la version d’iOS, ainsi que des captures d’écran ou une vidéo afin que je puisse mieux vous aider.

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour !

### 5/5 — Awesome little utility

*2025-04-30, version 10.7*

Great app. One minor complaint is that the app icon is ugly and might trigger someone’s trypophobia.

### 5/5 — love + question/comment

*2025-03-27*

Really like this. Would there be a way to check the complementary of a color from the picker, on the classic color wheel ?

**Developer response:** Hello, only the Digital Color Wheel can be used from the picker. The Classic one does not support color input because its custom model does not cover the full RGB spectrum. Thank you very much for your feedback and support!

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2024-11-21*

I recently gave this app a try and was blown away by its features. It’s got a ton of tools that can be super helpful for both drawing and front-end development, which is what I do for living. I’m glad I downloaded it! I hope this review encourages the developer to keep up the awesome work.

**Developer response:** I'm really glad the app has been helpful in your work! Thank you so much for the review!
