### 1/5 — Would give less than one star

*2020-06-21, version 1.1*

Not working well at all. I don’t even know what this app could be useful for - certainly not what they advertise it to be. Constantly crashes (as in not responding to touching screen etc). Useless piece of junk.

### 3/5 — Some bugs with the newer versions of iOS

*2019-12-14, version 1.1*

It hasn’t been updated for a while which is probably why. It still works for the most part, but it hangs for example when trying to close the dialog pane after exporting. 

Other than that I can see it’s a fine app, and leaving this in case the author can find time to update it.

### 1/5 — Disappointed. Hope for good updates in the future

*2019-08-18, version 1.1*

I really hoped this app would allow me to type hex codes and have the app suggest colors to go with ones I have chosen. I feel there are not enough controls in the app, like being able to go back and see which way to move fingers for color changes, name palettes, more than 3 colors per palette. Also, not sure if this is a me problem but one I found a color I liked I could not shift through light/dark colors, maybe needs better directions?

### 1/5 — Приложение не работает!

*2019-03-06*

Программа хорошая, регулярно ей пользуюсь на компьютере. 

Но скаченное приложение не работает! Вылетает при захождении

### 2/5 — Crash Crash Crash

*2018-09-23, version 1.1*

It crashes automatically when I try to open it. Before the update to iOS12 it worked great. Now it’s useless.

### 5/5 — Simple and ease of use

*2017-06-06*

A simple but great way to get colors from my surrounding! Saves them as swatches that you can later use on design apps! Awesome work!

### 2/5 — It's not what I expected from description

*2017-04-29, version 1.1*

I thought you could choose a color and the then the app would offer suggestions for various color palettes to choose from as inspiration. This doesn't "create" anything really; you're doing all the work. Not as helpful as I thought

### 5/5 — Love it

*2017-02-08, version 1.1*

Very intuitive. Very clean

### 4/5 — Solid app.

*2017-01-11, version 1.1*

This is one of the better color pallets apps I've used. The color control feels intuitive and natural on the iPad. 

There are a few improvements I would like to see: Being able to choose a color from Camera Roll photos and being able to rearrange the colors within the pallets.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2017-01-06, version 1.1*

I need to extract color from pictures I've already taken. As of this review, this app can not use pictures in your library. It only picks a color from the camera. I really hope they make this available in the near future. Otherwise, this app is useless for me.
