### 2/5 — Unpraktisch Lackfarbe zu bestimmen

*2025-08-04*

Höchstwahrscheinlich für Blinde-, bzw. Farbbehinderte Menschen eine gute Hilfe. Ich finde es schwierig, mit dieser App zu arbeiten, weil es für mich wichtig ist, die Farbe gemäß der Palette des Farb-/Lackherstellers zu bestimmen. Auch gibt es in der App keine Möglichkeit, Fotos zu löschen, die von der App "geschnappt" wurden. Die Schalter in Form eines winzigen Punktes sind etwas unpraktisch. Sorry, dafür nur zwei Sterne

### 5/5 — Das funktioniert wirklich erstaunlich gut

*2022-08-12*

Neben meinem generellen schlechteren Sehvermögen ist auch meine Fähigkeit Farben zu unterscheiden schlechter geworden. Schwarz dunkelblau oder rot und braun das ist wirklich schwierig für mich diese App ist in diesem Bereich der Wahnsinn! Ich bin total überrascht, wie gut das klappt. Ein Farberkennungsgerät kann ich mir eigentlich sparen… Genial fünf Sterne von mir

### 5/5 — „ Endlich „

*2021-12-08*

Schön blöd das ich mit meiner Rot/Grün Schwäche nicht schon früher auf die Idee gekommen bin mal nach einer App zu suchen.
Die App funktioniert Tadellos und erkennt 99% der gescannten Farben richtig.  
Bis jetzt hatte ich nur einige kleinere Probleme bei LEDs die Orange/Rot anzeigen da sagt die App das es Hellbraun ist. 
Sonst echt tolle App :)

### 3/5 — geladene Fotos nicht verwendbar

*2020-07-28*

Lage ich in der App ein Foto aus meiner Mediathek, so wird das Foto auf geschätzt 90% gezoomt  dargestellt und sogar um 90° gedreht. Wie Aufnahme von Farben aus diesen Foto wird somit unmöglich.

Ich hatte es mit mehreren Fotos versucht. Das Problem tratimmer auf.

 
Es wäre schön, wenn das Problem behoben wird.

iPhone 10, iOS 13.5.1

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für den Hinweis! Ich habe das Problem identifiziert. Ein Update geht jetzt in den Test und kommt dann sobald wie möglich heraus.

### 1/5 — Color visor

*2020-07-26*

Absolutely rubbish, demand my money back

### 4/5 — Color me impressed

*2018-12-21*

Love the detailed photo descriptions and while it is true what a previous reviewer did say The special made devices are better, but if you can’t afford that you don’t have one, or you can’t find yours :) ahem.... then this works beautifully.

### 1/5 — App is blinder than I am.

*2016-01-16*

This app seriously needs some  help.  Sure it detects colors and it makes up colors while I do not even move the phone.  Disappointed.  It would be nice if the app was simpler to use.  
The two take aways I got from this app are.
1.  Always read people’s reviews.
2.  Put out the  hundreds of dolors for a dedicated  hand held device to identify colors.  The hand held devices work better than this blind app. 
Would be nice if the developer updated it some time in the next billion years or so.

### 1/5 — Thoroughly befuddled.

*2015-08-02*

The user guide is _so _complicated, especially for those of us who have never seen color. None of the terms are defined. I just want to know what color something is, and have some idea whether it goes well with something else. The info in the Contact section of the app is in German, which I do not speak. I am glad it works with VoiceOver, but am unable to use it because of the aforementioned issues. Someone out there who has figured it out, please help me.

### 5/5 — Top Farbscanner

*2014-08-07*

Klasse Design und funktioniert tadellos. Konnte bei den ersten Tests sogar meine Frau bei der Farberkennung korrigieren ,-)

### 5/5 — Kudos to you! :)

*2013-03-30*

I've used several color identifiers for the iPhone. To date, this one is the most accurate. Terrific! Thank you! :)
