Great idea. Doesn’t work. ### 4/5 — Works Great! *2024-02-15, version 7.46.0* I used this app as I would like to ain’t my kitchen and I wasn’t quite sure what colour. I chose a warm beige with peach undertones. I realize that the app might make it appear a little different but it gives you a good idea of what it might look like. You need to turn on a lot of lights in your room. ### 2/5 — Can’t get it to paint. *2023-08-07, version 7.46.0* It’s great for matching what’s there to a colour in their paint chips. However I tried multiple ways and photos and couldn’t get it to paint on my photo. ### 2/5 — very slow *2023-02-27, version 7.46.0* very slow and can’t find SW 3064 brutal with cupboards. have to tap screen 100 times ### 5/5 — Súper útil y práctica *2023-01-20* Aplicación muy útil y práctica, es muy funcional y la puedes usar para ir diseñando el mejor color para tus espacios. Me encantó! ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work easily *2023-01-04, version 7.44.0* It won’t let me separate out the body color to the trim color to an accent color. When I click on another color to color the trim or eves it paints the whole house that color. It’s also not easy to use on a phone. I really like that idea but the tools to paint should be easier to use, especially on a phone since that’s what most people would use it on. You should be able to drag your finger and paint where you would like, or draw out the lines and then hit the paint feature and it would tell her within those lines only. Then you should be able to click over and draw out new parameters and pick a different color and hit the paint to put the separate color in the designated space. ### 5/5 — No I *2022-11-30, version 7.40.0* Moo ### 2/5 — Colores *2022-11-21* Es complicado poder usar la aplicación ### 2/5 — Sadly useless *2022-10-19, version 7.39.0* Very poor computer generation of colour on walls. Makes little to no use of existing shadows in photos so that the result is totally unrealistic. It’s about as useful as if you printed a photo and poured sample paints over it except that the lighting in the photo does not correspond to the lighting of the poured paint. The user interface is very clumsy. The paint selections are not displayed in any convenient array. And they are incomplete: you have to search by colour name to find most paint colours. Using the limited selection they display, you have to scroll through the tabs for reds, oranges, etc to get to neutrals, for example, and if you scroll too fast it jumps back to the start. Colour recognition is very poor. I used photos taken of a room painted with a Sherwin-Williams paint. Holding the photos in my phone up to the room, the colours in the room were nearly exact. But the “match a photo” tool was way off in identifying the paint. And when I used the “paint a photo” tool to paint the wall in the actual Sherwin-Williams paint it was already painted, the result was hilariously different. I would say this app was a nice concept but utterly useless in practice unless you have no eye for colour and don’t notice the difference between bright yellow and pale cream. ### 2/5 — Good concept *2022-08-21, version 7.38.0* The concept is great, but using a phone to try and paint a photo is not user friendly. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-07-07, version 7.46.0* So hard to navigate ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-06-30, version 7.46.0* Clunky and very awkward to use when “painting” a room. Could not get the light and old colour of my wall to work w the app’s colours: even a deep red showed up as pink on my photo. I tried editing my photo, and trying a bunch of colours to test, but nothing worked. ### 1/5 — USELESS *2023-11-20, version 7.46.0* Terrible terrible app. Don’t waste your time with this pathetic joke ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-11-14, version 7.46.0* This has got to be the worst app ever! All I want is to do is match the paint on a wall to go buy some paint. Such a simple thing to do, yet this app can’t do it. It gets stuck halfway there. Then, you can’t move forward or backward. ### 1/5 — Worse app ever don’t waste your time *2023-08-27, version 7.46.0* Read above doesn’t save your choices reverts to their choice or original picture. ### 1/5 — This is a parody app, right? *2023-05-18* Seriously this is a joke app, right? Even on an iPhone 13 pro max, it was totally unable to render color changes in any room in my house that I tried it. I’ve tried this with full afternoon sunlight as well as various shades and brightnesses of white with my 150w equivalent LED smart bulbs. I would be embarrassed to have my company’s name on this app. Furthermore, if you want to delete your account they require that you provide a ton of private information just so you can ask them to delete that information. That’s ridiculous. I was able to sign up in the app with my email and password, I should be able to delete my account by providing them my email and password in the account. They don’t need my private information to delete my account. They need my email address. So do yourself a favor, skip this app, this company clearly does not really care about functionality or your privacy. Makes me wonder if they care about producing a high-quality product. I will not be buying paint for my home remodel from a Sherwin-Williams store. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-03-27, version 7.46.0* App isn’t user friendly, it’s slow and the colors all look the same. The colors aren’t remotely close to real life either. Just a bad app. ### 1/5 — Pretty much useless (for what I’m looking for, anyway) *2023-01-13, version 7.44.0* I wanted to see how black paint would look on a wall in my house next to Alabaster. Tricorn black looks medium-dark grey (absolutely not black) and Alabaster looks like a bright white (which it is not) ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time with this *2022-11-25, version 7.39.0* Colours go on with a transparent wash unrealistic to any colour sampled. Perhaps their paint is so watered down that you need a minimum of 10 coats to get a solid colour? it does not help with choosing the right colour ### 1/5 — Full of bugs *2022-09-25, version 7.38.0* Mixes up colors you pick sealskin and it paints on white . Paints different colors than the ones you choose. Pretty bad app for a great concept ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Melhor aplicativo para idealizar ambientes *2025-01-04* Simples, gratuito sem armadilhas! ### 5/5 — Genial *2025-01-03* Es importante actualizar esta app para el mercado mexicano. Hay mucho en línea pero no está actualizado con el color mix ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2024-09-25* E ### 5/5 — Free Help *2024-09-10, version 7.46.0* This is what I am looking forward to seeing. Great job. I’ll be back. ### 5/5 — Effective! *2024-06-29, version 7.46.0* I wish I had this years ago. I love that there’s no in app purchases and it just helps me select the colours and create palettes to use right away with no hidden costs. Fantastic app. ### 5/5 — Pharaoh *2024-05-15, version 7.46.0* This app is phenomenal. It completely identifies the colours that I don’t know and helps me use some certain types of colours for professional purposes. ### 5/5 — The best *2024-02-11* There paints always taste great but it seems that lately they have been tasting like thick cleaning solution which is ok if it’s that kinda weekend but i typically get off work and race home to sit a smash some exterior latex a pint atleast amd then snack of the latex chips that I make by the Ton so she On the go I can feed my addiction to paint eating 2 is almost half a pint which usally handles my Shakes in the morn but has anyone else noticed the taste quality and color I’ll leave for another time i will say dark sun more like bark pun I might just go back to classic huffing technique without losing everything and moving in under the bridge I’ll just take a little taste test i won’t even get a color ring around my lips bc i got the good paper huffing bags but lemme know paint heads ### 5/5 — Maravilhoso *2023-08-20* Aplicativo maravilhoso ### 5/5 — Color *2023-06-25* Me ayudó a tomar desiciones en la decoración de mi casa ### 5/5 — ColourSnap app *2023-02-05, version 7.46.0* This is an amazing tool to try different colours on your walks with your furniture!
