Brilliant little app!

After my go-to colour picker crashed my machine after the Mac OS 27 update, I needed another option. This is great, works flawlessly on 27 and does exactly what you’d expect. Nice one!

4.0 Has Terrible Bugs

Since the 4.0 update, the app no longer functions. The first and most destructive bug is that when I change or adjust a color in a palette, another color in the palette will instantly change to become a duplicate of the color it is next to. This cannot be reversed, and if I attempt to manually change it back, another palette color will change itself to be a duplicate of a third color. Every time you do anything within a palette you are just producing more and more tabs of one random color until all twelve colors in the palette have been homogenized like Agent Smith in the matrix. This essentially means I cannot use the palette feature. Without that, the app is useless. Secondly, when I attempt to move a palette to a Project, nothing happens when I press the move button. The function does not exist. It doesn’t even change the screen. In its current state, the app is unusable, and I would strongly recommend that nobody download it.

A Request

Could you please add “projects” to mobile? The rest of the application works well and helps a lot with workflows.

The visual updates look great, but there are some bugs

Whenever I use Palettes, the list of colours constantly flickers which makes it difficult to select a colour. Also, the new update where you are forced to select a keyboard shortcut to copy a value in a palette is annoying, please bring back a way to just select the colour with a click by default.

Excellent!

I use ColorSlurp frequently. It works great, and is reliable.

Good color picker app

Updated review: The app was able to restore my previous purchase, so I can use the features I need again!

Great app, great developers who support legacy purchases

Years ago, these developers were among the first to recognize the glaring omission of a color picker in certain note taking applications (cough, Goodnotes) and rectified it with this comprehensive color picker app that extends far beyond note taking to everyday life. I use this for note taking, paint projects—anything under the sun. It’s great to see how far they’ve come with the app, AND they have the integrity to continue providing support for those of us who bought the app early. That’s one of many reasons why I recommend the app, even if you’re just discovering it now. Beyond the everyday usefulness of the app itself, you want to support developers you can trust. With these ColorSlurp developers, trust and respect is something you can count on.

Paid for Pro, not doing a subscription

A great app, and I bought Pro early when I didn’t have to because I wanted to support you guys. So here’s my question: what are you going to do for people who supported your team early and bought Pro? I’m not doing a subscription for something I already paid for. A yearly fee may be fine for new purchasers—that’s up to them to them—but as for those of us who bought Pro early, THAT was assumed to be our “one-time purchase”, and you certainly didn’t dissuade us from that notion. The least you can do is is maintain legacy features for longtime Pro purchasers (you know—the features we already paid for), and if that’s what you’re doing, then I’ll humbly delete my review, change back to 5-stars, and go back to singing ColorSlurp’s praises as I’ve done for the past 5 years. But if you’re going to follow the dishonest developer trend of paywalling features that we’ve already paid for and then giving us the canned line about “not expecting a lifetime of updates for free” (which is NOT what we’re asking for; we’re asking for the software we paid for to function as originally packaged at time of sale), then I’m out. I really hope that’s not the case, though, because I’ve always liked your app and your team.

Amazing tool!

I use everyday for work, but I wish you guys have a lifetime license. I have way too much subscriptions to keep track of.

$20/year to export a palette? Absurd.

$20/year to export the colors I already picked myself? ColorSlurp used to be a great, no-nonsense utility and now it's chasing subscription revenue for no reason.

Uninstalling and finding an alternative that doesn't paywall a basic export button. Huge fan over the years soured by their greed.

Currently unusable

I have been using ColorSlurp for years and it has been great — no fault or problems whatsoever. However, since the most recent update, the programme is slow, colours disappear and the the UI just doesn’t work.

Version 4.0

Fantastic app! Good jobs!

Still language problem

For about two years there is a problem with the language. For what reason ever there is no option to change the language in settings. However, the menu in the menu bar is displayed in russian, while the settings itself are in english. My operating system is in german. So I do not really know, what is wrong with languages at this app.

Why is this a subscription?

While the app itself is handy, I have to ask, why am I paying a subscription for an app that hasn’t been updated in 2 years?

Super useful!

Simple and lightweight, love it!

Delightful

Mactastic delightful and useful utility!

Simple but effective

It does what it must do, nothing more, nothing less. That’s why I love it.

Una eina molt útil

Quan treballes amb diverses aplicacions gràfiques és molt útil disposar d’una eina que et permeti saber quin color tens a la pantalla.

Vraiment bien

Je regrette juste le silence absolu du support qui répond strictement à aucune question ou suggestion d’amélioration. Je viens de leur écrire une 4ème fois avec les mêmes questions, je reviendrai ici retirer mon commentaire s’ils me répondent bien entendu ! Sinon l’app fait le job, même si on peut trouver aussi bien et gratuit (mais sans cloud).

Color Picker

Great tool to pick any colour. Thanks to developer, it would much best if it free, some features need to be paid to used it.
