Novosti u ovoj verziji: • Više marki boja usklađenih s mestom gde živite. Dodali smo Caparol i Brillux u Nemačkoj, Śnieżka u Poljskoj, Comex širom Latinske Amerike i Asahipen u Japanu, plus još lokalnih linija za Španiju, Portugal i Tajvan. • Istaknute boje sada prvo prikazuju brendove koji se stvarno prodaju u vašem regionu, pa je podudaranja lakše pronaći i kupiti. • Preciznije prepoznavanje boja uživo. Kamera sada očitava boju verodostojniju stvarnom izgledu, a najbliža podudaranja koriste precizniji izračun razlike boje. • Kada podudaranje nije 100% tačno, jasno je obeleženo kao približno, da biste uvek znali šta da očekujete. • Čistiji tasteri i natpisi u svakom podržanom jeziku.

Terrible Don’t Waste Money On this

Looked promising so I signed up, every color match was grey on a yellow wall. Tried all different lighting. All grey. There is no way this app is accurate.!

Response from developer

Thanks for trying the app and for the clear feedback. Matching a yellow wall as gray is not the result the app should give, and I understand why that would be frustrating. I’ve made major improvements to the paint matching and general color matching engine in the latest update, especially for cases where lighting or wall texture can throw off the result. Please try the newest version (3.37) when it becomes available in the next 24-48 hours. If you still see incorrect matches, please use the in-app feedback option and, if possible, include the photo or details about the lighting so I can investigate the exact case. I’d appreciate the chance to earn back your trust, and if the update works better for you, I’d be grateful if you would reconsider your rating.

Zero accuracy

Doesn’t accurately identify paint colors

Wish the outrageous charges had been mentioned before I downloaded

I do not pay subscriptions for apps. It is theft. What is particularly annoying is when an app does not reveal that it is a subscription app until after you’ve downloaded it.

If y’all would like to price this app at a reasonable rate, I might use it; but, $4.99 for an app that I, a professional artist, might use once a month? Nope. The value just is not there.

Response from developer

Thank you for the honest feedback. I understand why a subscription model would feel like a poor fit for someone who only expects to use the app occasionally. I do want to clarify that the App Store listing shows the in-app purchase options before download, the app includes a substantial set of features for free, and Pro is optional. For users who prefer not to subscribe, there is also a Lifetime purchase option for one-time access with no recurring payment. I appreciate your perspective, and I agree that pricing has to match how often someone expects to use a tool. If you decide to revisit the app, I’d be grateful if you’d consider updating your review based on the free features and the full set of purchase options available.

Very bad at matching

It matched my dark almost black brown to light blue. Its hilariously bad at matching

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — that definitely shouldn’t happen under normal conditions. Color matching accuracy depends heavily on lighting, shadows, glare, and camera exposure. Very dark browns (especially “almost black”) can reflect surrounding light and pick up cool tones, which may cause a blue-leaning suggestion if the lighting is uneven or the surface has shine. For best results: • Use natural, even lighting (avoid yellow indoor bulbs) • Hold the phone steady and close to the surface • Avoid shadows or reflections • Tap different areas and compare the confidence % shown Many users get highly accurate matches when lighting is controlled, and we’re continuously improving detection precision. If you’d like, send us a photo through support and we’ll personally help you dial it in.

Pretty useless

Got this to match the paint in my bathroom. Yeah, it can scan your wall color, but it’s useless because the lighting will totally change the color identification from room to room. We have the same color throughout our house, and depending on the room, you get a totally different color selection. Ended up dishing out the money to buy a color identification tool.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback — this is a fair concern and an important one to clarify for others reading. Camera-based colour identification will always be influenced by lighting conditions (natural vs artificial light, colour temperature, shadows, reflections). The app measures what the camera sees, not the underlying paint formula, so the same wall can appear differently across rooms even when the paint itself is identical. For best results, we recommend scanning in neutral daylight or using the app as a close visual match and reference, rather than a lab-grade replacement. Dedicated physical colour sensors can reduce lighting variation, which is why professionals often use them. That said, many users still find the app useful for narrowing choices, browsing paint books, and getting quick approximations without specialised hardware. We appreciate you sharing your experience — it helps set realistic expectations.
