### 3/5 — Features missing

*2024-07-11, version 3.2.1*

Why this app does not have what I’d consider basic features is baffling. No account creation to access saved content on the web/desktop.
No save as PDF/print capability from the “My projects” area. No way to share a collection of saved colors that have been saved in a project except for to show someone your phone’s screen or share single colors individually.

### 2/5 — Not quite as expected

*2023-07-21, version 3.1.1*

I was hoping that this app would use the picture taken from the camera so I could see what the paint would look like and not from your library of rooms

### 3/5 — Eh...

*2022-11-19, version 1.5.3*

It’s OK I guess. It’s just hard to select a color. A different color keeps popping up even though I pressed another color.

### 2/5 — Not accurate for colour matching

*2022-06-28, version 3.0.0*

I’ve given the app a try on two separate projects in the last few months. The interface is actually pretty slick once you figure it out, but both times the colour match was so off that it was terrible. 

Can’t comment on the other functions and features.

### 3/5 — Missing LRV

*2022-03-16, version 1.5.3*

This is a nice way of looking for colours but if you are looking for the information on the colour you will not find it. I like to choose colours using the LVR (light reflective value) as part of my guide. This vital information is missing. Also you must be careful before you buy and go to the store to see the actual colours as I have noticed a great difference between my phone and my computer.

### 1/5 — CANNOT DOWNLOAD OWN PICS

*2022-03-07, version 1.5.3*

Was disappointed as found out after downloading the app. that you can’t download your own pics to preview colours.  Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Horrible.

*2022-02-19, version 1.5.3*

Won’t let me download my picture.    I switched to another app.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2022-02-11, version 1.5.3*

They really need to work on their app. The scanner doesn’t work, can’t look up a colour from the gallons we have.. uggghh. The kitchens, bedroom etc that are in the app don’t really help in looking up the colour. Terrible experience.

### 1/5 — Outdated Version

*2022-01-26, version 1.5.3*

This app hasn’t been updated in the last 2 years. It doesn’t work properly with my iPhone 13. I can’t scan the paint chip barcode. Entering the paint colour or name doesn’t provide the correct colour.

### 1/5 — Utilisation limitée

*2022-01-03, version 1.5.3*

Il ne semble pas possible de télécharger une photo personnelle et d’en changer la couleur pour visualiser un projet.

### 1/5 — Completely Unusable

*2021-12-23, version 1.5.3*

Every photo says “Error Downloading”.

### 1/5 — Colour on wall doesn’t match app colour

*2021-11-22, version 1.5.3*

The Behr colour paper sample and colour on the wall do not match the colour of the n the app. Using the app is not helpful. Usage of the app is not helpful.

### 2/5 — Y this app doesn’t work

*2021-10-26*

U can’t do highlights or change the shingle or gutter colors. So unless your painting everything the same colors it’s useless

### 1/5 — If I could give a 0 I would

*2021-09-05*

Total garbage. Not user friendly. Cannot load a pic and a color to see what the room will look like. The menus do not have a back button so you can’t get back-and-forth between the sections and it’s frustrating completely

### 1/5 — This app is made for 1980's

*2021-09-02, version 1.5.3*

Seriously ? Whoever made this app still thinks it's 1980. It's 2021. Pay your developers and update the app please. Hope your paints won't be as outdated as this useless app which can't even scan a barcode.

### 2/5 — Kinda disappointed

*2021-07-27, version 1.5.3*

I love using the website to upload my rooms and paint them. I thought this app would be perfect, but I can’t upload my own pictures to paint. Kind of defeats the purpose for me.

### 1/5 — Not very helpful

*2021-05-25, version 1.5.3*

Not very user friendly. Difficult to compare qualities and intensities and tones of related colours

### 1/5 — Can’t see colours in your own room

*2021-05-16, version 1.5.3*

Useless.

### 1/5 — Only paint??

*2021-05-15, version 1.5.3*

Tried to match a tinted stain but it only seems to have paint options

### 1/5 — Please update it!!

*2025-04-16*

The Behr app needs to replicate the website! I love that I’m able to change the colors on photos that I take of our rooms in the website but on the app I don’t have that option. I feel this could be a quick fix since they already have the blueprint from the website. :) I know so many others who’d appreciate finding an app that could help them findtheir dream colors for their home.

### 1/5 — Not even remotely close

*2024-10-02*

Multiple trips to HD, wet color looked right, dried color was way too dark

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-09-12*

Take photo but no way to view room and color or no clear instructions.

### 1/5 — Unbelievable

*2024-08-16*

I honestly can’t believe this app is live. It would be better if it just didn’t existed, it would’ve saved me (& I’m sure many others) from spending hours looking at colors and saving colors and projects only to close the app and have them be COMPLETELY gone. 
I’m honestly considering different paint brand now, which is sad but true.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2024-07-26*

Not helpful.  Not able to paint my uploaded photos of kitchen in the app. If there is a way, I couldn’t find it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-04-11, version 3.2.1*

The preview photos don’t show up - it’s just a blank grey rectangle. Can’t visualize much on that.

### 1/5 — The paint colors on the app were completely wrong.

*2024-04-10*

The paint colors were completely wrong. I should have known when the brightest white looked grey on the app that the colors would be inaccurate but like a dummy I trusted it and instead of a burgundy wine color I got a circus full orange color for an entire floor. Lesson #1: Don’t trust the Home Depot app simulating what Behr paint looks like on your photos. Lesson # 2: Don’t rush a project thinking you can get it done fast in a day or two unless you want to spend a couple thousand to find out your house looks like a old circus tent. If I had gone slower, I could have stopped the travesty before it became irreversibly expensive. Lesson #3: Paint a couple square feet on the wall instead of trusting an app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-10-09, version 3.1.3*

Gets you to load pic. Choose color. But can start the project. 
Also find it impossible to find a mat black.

### 1/5 — Out of date colours

*2023-02-19, version 3.1.1*

I picked out several colours based on pictures of my walls. Went to the Home Depot store to find the matching paint chips. The colours in the app were out of date, such that the store did not have any chips/swatches of the eight colours I had picked out.

### 1/5 — Not useful for anything really

*2022-12-18*

Can’t paint a room photo to see what it looks like, color matching is miles away from accurate, and doesn’t recognize it’s own paint cards to even match existing colors. Not really sure what this app would help with.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Just WOW!

*2021-11-16, version 1.5.3*

Great app! Love how you can visualize all the beautiful colours from the comfort of your home. The colour match is awesome, you basically take a picture of the colour you want and the app perfectly matches the colour!

### 5/5 — Highly recommend

*2021-04-30, version 1.5.3*

I enjoy this app for my personal use as well as professionally, I often praise the app to our customers in store. Thanks for your help.

### 5/5 — Great for on the spot showing.

*2021-03-01, version 1.5.3*

Wonderful app. It takes out the guessing.

### 5/5 — Great tool for planning!!!❤️❤️❤️

*2020-11-22, version 1.5.3*

Perfect for planning out my living room colours!!! So hard to do off a colour chip. This helps visualize in a large space.

### 5/5 — Genius

*2020-09-17*

So far so good, still playing with features. 
Liking so far!!!! Will give up date later.

### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP

*2020-09-14, version 1.5.3*

All the other reviews are old. The camera feature works great and I have used the color match option to find paint colours that are similar to my pins on Pinterest. I can finally make my room picture perfect!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2020-09-01, version 1.5.3*

I’m confused by the bad reviews. This was perfect for my purposes. Could the look of the app be updated? Sure but it did exactly what I needed it to do and was reasonably intuitive.

### 4/5 — Great

*2019-12-19*

Good stuff

### 4/5 — Nice

*2017-02-11*

Nice to look at colors, you can load your own picture to find paint that matches what you currently have. Would be nice if you could add new color to personal pictures.

### 4/5 — Color smart App for Behring paint

*2016-10-01*

Fairly easy to pick out colors if you're only painting a room in a single color. It's not as easy to use when trying to blend color from one room smoothly into another without making it seem too different or broken up. The Sherrington Williams app was a lot easier. Hope this was a help.
