### 5/5 — I need something right away and this did the trick.

*2019-01-21, version 1.0.1*

I was working on a project and away from home and I needed to modify some code on the website to make the font match the logo which I had saved to my phone. I downloaded this app, open the photo/logo and within a few seconds I had the color code I needed.  This was the perfect app for me while away from home, away from my main computer with Photoshop etc.
