### 2/5 — Good but not functional

*2019-09-18, version 2.7.10*

Great premise. Doesn’t recognise colours well though. It literally sees blues as purple or pink and reds or yellows as blues at times.

### 5/5 — Fascinating Colours

*2019-04-20, version 2.7.10*

I never knew my eye colour. It’s complex. I wish I could scan my eyes independently all day. I would love a full list report of every colour so I could research them afterwards. Or see a definition of what the colours mean. I have never seen such detail. I am very happy. My eyes are as confusing of a colour as one could imagine. Never been told my eye could I wish it had more information. I know it’s for locking screens but a listed data set of colours to pick up in a scan would be an interesting feature to be able to break my password codes. I would never feel like my information is in jeopardy again, ever.

### 1/5 — Muy mala

*2019-01-18, version 2.7.9*

Muy mala no acierta ni de casualidad

### 1/5 — time eater

*2018-11-07, version 2.7.9*

### 5/5 — Please add Arabic language to the App

*2018-04-15, version 2.7.9*

Please add Arabic language to the App

### 2/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-08-03, version 2.7.7*

Good idea but doesn't work well with identifying colors

### 2/5 — Fun to use

*2017-05-19, version 2.7.7*

Not very accurate but fun to use Live camera mode

### 1/5 — Incorrect Colors Detected

*2017-03-16, version 2.7.6*

I was checking this app to see if it would work for my son. Horrible detection. Not once did it get the color correct — not even close.

### 5/5 — Helpfully

*2016-07-30, version 2.7.6*

Great
