Painting a room choice on the app needs tweaking, hard to get out of one room to get to another room without going all the way home. The app is great for choosing colors and complimentary colors. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2026-03-03, version 4.69.0* Very helpful with helping to choose colors for our ### 2/5 — Tough to navigate *2025-11-14, version 4.69.0* So much time figuring it out. ### 2/5 — Not great not user friendly *2025-09-27, version 4.69.0* The one thing to get right is the colors. When you select your color and then paint the room with it, it’s a completely different color. You can’t select swatches from the pallets, you have to search for it. Every time you want to try a new color by adding it, you have to load the photo again and select terms and conditions again. It’s a pain. Needs a re-write ### 2/5 — Frustrated *2025-09-20, version 4.69.0* I’m doing everything I can but still not seeing pictures of my house with my selected color(s)… very frustrating ### 2/5 — Freezes *2025-09-20, version 4.69.0* For some reason the app freezes and I’m unable to move to the appropriate screen, as in picking a color or trying to change picture to “paint”. I have to close it out every time. It’sMyI run the current version of iOS and always update when available. ### 3/5 — Good but needs work *2025-08-15, version 4.69.0* This tool is an amazing idea but the app needs a lot of work. It lags, the image color pick tool better be used as soon as you open app rather than later or the app will completely freeze and you’ll have to start over, and some of the tools are too difficult to use productively. ### 1/5 — Back to the paint store *2025-06-09, version 4.69.0* Impossible to figure out how to match colors. I’m going back to the store. ### 2/5 — Not very helpful *2025-05-11, version 4.69.0* I love Sherwin Williams but this app is not helpful as it will not let me go back to the chart of all the colors if I have changed my mind send want to select again. It only shows me the same 3 or 4 colors. I can’t add a room. Too many glitches to use effectively. ### 1/5 — Hard to use *2025-05-04, version 4.69.0* 30 seconds into using this App and I couldn’t load my own photos anymore. I don’t think Sherwin-Williams wants you to use an App to find your colours they would prefer it if you spend loads of money trying out different paints. Try using the website for Berh paints because it’s 100% better than this. ### 1/5 — Page is frozen, slow to respond *2025-04-26, version 4.69.0* Using page for first time. Not intuitive. I click a button, nothing happens. I cannot see or get to the color chart ### 1/5 — Not intuitive at all *2025-04-25, version 4.69.0* Unclear how these buttons operate and help section is not helpful. Often clicked on an option and it did not open, very frustrating! Ap needs major overhaul to be useful. ### 4/5 — Pretty good app *2025-04-24, version 4.69.0* I enjoy this, but dropped a star because you can’t always go back and forth between paint a room and explore color. You have to shut it down and reload to switch. ### 1/5 — Nearly useless *2025-04-18, version 4.69.0* Very difficult to use with iPad. Touch selections generally don’t work. ### 2/5 — Poor Functionality *2025-02-23, version 4.69.0* Unable to easily delete and replace color schemes.App freezes frequently. ### 3/5 — Won’t pull up my picture *2025-02-19, version 4.69.0* The app doesn’t work very well. Sometimes it does pretty good. Other times’ it won’t let me pull up my picture or the colors. I do like it, just wish I could get it to work right. ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2025-02-01, version 4.69.0* This app is a great concept, however, it doesn’t work, it is so frustrating to use! I have downloaded it several times and tried to give it multiple changes, every time, it is a total fail. Too bad, because it could be an awesome app if it actually worked. ### 3/5 — Hit or miss *2024-12-06, version 4.69.0* The multiple apps confuses, controls moody but when it works, magical ### 1/5 — Not Working *2024-11-05, version 4.69.0* Just doesn’t work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-05-12, version 4.69.0* Probably one of the worst iPad apps I’ve encountered. Will only launch to windowed mode. After any color selection I make, all other buttons quit responding and I have to quit the app and reopen it to continue ### 1/5 — Difficult *2026-04-25, version 4.69.0* Not intuitive to use. ### 1/5 — Unable to Tap to Add Color *2026-01-20, version 4.69.0* This app simply does. Not. Work. It preselected 3 Pottery Barn Colors, which I could delete, but I could not tap to add the colors I wanted to visualize. Deleting. ### 1/5 — Constant freezes *2025-11-22, version 4.69.0* Constantly freezing up. ### 1/5 — Difficult *2025-10-27, version 4.69.0* I have a very hard time moving around in this app! ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-10-12, version 4.69.0* I find that this app freezes up numerous times and is lacking in clarity of instruction ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2025-09-24, version 4.69.0* This app is very difficult to upload photos and see sample colors. ### 1/5 — Freezes and buttons don’t work *2025-09-02, version 4.69.0* The app freezes and the buttons rarely work. ### 1/5 — Worst App Ever *2025-08-24, version 4.69.0* Ironically the color tone that is applied to an image does not match the color swatch in the paint selection tool! ### 1/5 — Keith *2025-06-26, version 4.69.0* Find the app very hard to navigate. Put in colour number from Sherman Williams colour guide for Super Deck and the app said it got a good number can’t locate colour. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is fun. *2024-12-27, version 4.69.0* This is a really fun app.you can pick any color you want. ### 5/5 — Barrett *2024-01-21, version 4.69.0* A great tool for visualizing you room in a new color. Easy to use ### 5/5 — Great tool! *2022-01-21* Color snap allows me to truly see if a color is going to work without spending tons on samples. My husband and I have very different tastes and it has avoided many arguments on color choices! By allowing us to take a pic of our own rooms, we can get a real idea of what to expect before we spend the time and money on painting. ### 5/5 — A little gem *2021-12-22* I used this app to assist with a room refresh. I purchased a few main items I wanted in the room and used the picture sampler to choose my paint colors. Once we put the first coat on, I was a little worried that my colors didn’t fit. However, once we finished with the second coat & then filled the room with the items used for the picture sampler, everything looked amazing together! This has become my new little gem for room decorating. ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2021-10-26, version 4.46.0* Checking out wall colours with the ouch of a button. So easy and helpful ### 5/5 — Love it, easy to learn and visualize *2021-07-26, version 4.39.0* Great app, love it. We took outdoor photos of our new house unpainted and used the app to choose what we thought would be best and other options. ### 5/5 — Great *2021-07-25, version 4.39.0* Best game if you are getting a new house. I put my new house photos and I choose the color of paint I want, and I see how it looks. Everybody, go to Sherwin Williams for your paint or you could just download this app and see how it looks before you really paint it. Five star review is good, that means get this app today. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2021-07-19, version 4.38.0* First of all Sherwin Williams has the best selection of colors and how they are organized! This software is a great companion and allows a person to easily explore it. I have been repainting all of the rooms of my house with this paint and I know what to expect when I pick them out. ### 5/5 — Easy *2021-06-27* Very easy to “ paint your own photo” Keep in mind digital color is not the same as a color sample. The “ explore color” is well designed to look quickly at similar shades. Be sure and give a title with the name of the paint color, to your saved ideas, to quickly see your saved collection. Enjoy. ### 5/5 — Addictive, in a good way *2021-04-19, version 4.34.0* This app has been extremely helpful as we planned the color scheme for our new home. Very nice to be able to try various colors on with photos that include our own furnishings.
