## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Colors wrong place on wheel

*2020-08-08*

As other reviews state colors wrong place. Red and blue are not complements! Even the directions say red and green are complements. Otherwise would be a nice app to have.

### 1/5 — Should have listened

*2020-03-22*

The colors ARE in the wrong place. 
This is a simple app. Useless

### 1/5 — Yellow is. It on color wheel!

*2014-11-26*

I would like this app to show my students color schemes if you would fix the color wheel!!! Yellow is opposite of violet! Instead of yellow you have a bright blue-green in yellow's spot.

### 1/5 — So very bad

*2014-09-15*

This is the worst app I have ever downloaded

### 1/5 — Bad

*2014-08-27*

Blue does not go between yellow and green. Ever.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate color wheel

*2014-08-14*

Light blue and violet are never complementary. So are the others.

### 2/5 — Needs fixing

*2015-02-16*

This colour wheel is simple which is exactly what I was looking for. But when I touch/slide the wheel as the instructions advise, the selection circles jump all over the place. Thus the wrong set of colours are selected. A basic simple & useful colour wheel……but this app needs fixing

### 4/5 — Ignore the clueless negative reviews

*2021-03-25*

This is a simple but functional RGB color wheel. The negative reviews are mistaking it for an incorrect RYB color wheel (used by painters in a subtractive pigment world). If you don’t know the difference, google color theory and color vision.  It'll be a wonderful rabbit hole ending in the realization that color isn’t real. 

The only complaint I have with this app is the inability to mix hues of different lightness or saturation in the same scheme. Real life schemes usually need more variety in multiple dimensions.

### 4/5 — Wrong colour wheel

*2015-02-05, version 1.0*

This colour wheel is wrong, it has a cyan in-between green and yellow for some reason.. don't try and use this in a class, it's simply not correct.

### 5/5 — This is such a handy app for artists!

*2020-01-02*

I was hesitant to try this app because of some older reviews that stated it was inaccurate, but I’m so glad I did! (Any inaccuracies have been fixed, by the way). I enjoy painting, and had considered purchasing a manual color wheel from an art supply store, but this app does everything I need! You can slide along the wheel to choose a color, then select from various color schemes (complimentary, analog, split, triad, square, rectangle). The basic colors on the wheel itself are fixed, but there is a slider for changing the tint/shade and transparency, so the tinted/shaded colors that you choose will appear on the corners of the screen, outside of the wheel.   Click “show,” and the tinted/shaded you’ve  chosen will appear as a palette of larger swatches, along with their corresponding RGB and UI Color values. And palettes can be shared with a  “share” function. Thank you for creating such a functional app! I love it!

### 5/5 — Easy to use, informative

*2018-05-31, version 1.1*

I find this app really useful for design and art purposes, sometimes you just need a bit of guidance when choosing colours that compliment each other. Really appreciate the help button which explains each type of colour theory and the best way to use it. 5/5 :)
