User reviews

Useless

After choosing a color, the color numbers and the color names are have NOTHING to do with the Lowe’s paint desk colors. I had to choose off the swatch in the store and picked a spontaneous color that was nothing like the app color I chose. Do not download.

App is completely useless.

I really can’t understand why the problems with this app haven’t been remedied, since it has had negative reviews for years. It is not helpful at all. Maybe the app design team should check out apps from other paint companies and see why this app is overly complicated.

Not User Friendly

This app is neither user-friendly nor intuitive. It was so frustrating to use that I deleted it after about 3 minutes.

Terrible

Matched the colour I wanted through the App only to be told that they are probably American descriptions and didn’t match the UK colours. Now the colour I’ve ended up with looks off. Will try another manufacturer next time.

Unusable

The biggest thing I use a paint app for is to get a suggestion of coordinating colors - which this app appears to do by displaying a room with presumably the choice color and other attractive complementing hues splashed throughout the space. However, when selecting any of the colors, it doesn’t tell you what they are! It only shows them as hex codes. The scene it shows isn’t of your own space, but an existing image from Houzz that has similar colors but I doubt its using actual choice colors from Valspar. Since it doesn’t suggest the specific name of similar colors that the scene is displaying, it’s moot.

There’s also this odd prominent button to “connect to device” which I can only think is like if you had Alexa. I don’t see how that prominently displayed icon is more important than a button that doesn’t appear to exist that lets you upload a photo or paint a live scene using your camera. I’m not going to download an app and sync Alexa to say “hey Alexa tell me a color I should use on this app that doesn’t work!” I’m going to take those steps I’d just Google it. Very confused as to what that is supposed to do or much of the app for that matters.
