Excellent tool...and fun.

Immensely useful for generating colour ideas for graphic and illustrative work. Just fooling around on this has helped me out of a rut with a series of pieces and forced me out of a 'colour' dependence.

Great so far but has lots of promise

I'm starting color theory and this $3 app is already worth it. Don't need to deal with cutting/carrying paper. The program is much easier to use after the video tutorial, which I would watch first.

I think the design needs to be updated. The actual color space takes up only a small section of the screen. Sketchbook Ink has some nice ideas they should borrow. A hide all button that hides everything but shapes would be great, even the numbers. There is just lots of dead space that isn't utilized that much during use.

The positives outweighs this though, it's well thought out. The play function is rad, and the alpha channels are a great add. It would be great if the color picker could pick from swatches from photos in my library.

I'd gladly buy it again though but I do hope things are cleaned up in future versions. This app is clearly in early stages and I hope people can help this team make it better. Even though it cost $3, a part of me hopes it will go towards supporting the developers and them in return delivering these new novel apps.

Simply useful

A very simple UI that almost seems Spartan, but all the new color combinations i'm discovering with the auto feature will keep me taping for days. A little gem for graphic designers.

Nice idea, look forward to the next version

I like the idea, but the touch-targets on the sliders are a little hard to hit. The app seems jumpy in auto mode.
