I couldn’t save any of the palettes I tried to make. It’s simply awful **Developer response:** I'm sorry you couldn't save your palettes. Thank you for trying Neon. Please send the details through Settings → Send Feedback and I'll look into it as soon as I can. ### 1/5 — Perpetually Crashes *2020-09-20* I have reinstalled this app at least 10 times. Each time I get one clean run out of the app and the every attempt to reopen it after the initial opening after (install/reinstall) is an immediate crash. Title screen pops up apps closes. **Developer response:** Really really sorry for this. Can you help me out by tweeting @neontheapp or sending an email to neontheapp@gmail.com with the iPhone/iPad model and the iOS Version you’re on? Also, please check if you have enough iPhone storage because sometimes iOS might kill the app if there isn’t enough storage available. If you can send a tweet or an email that’d be great. Thank you so much and I’m sorry once again. ### 2/5 — Good color app *2026-07-06* New update has most features not working sadly. Love the simplicity and function. Gives me inspiration. It’s not the only color app I work with, but I love the widgets it provides and the functionality. The creator(s) did good. Also, if you don’t wish to pay for it, the ads aren’t too invasive. This developer does seem like they were aiming to create something helpful and in the very greedy modern day of the app market, I commend anyone willing to be reasonable about their apps. Apps cost time and money to create. Many are greedy beyond words. But a few, like this one shine through and deserve a nod and some compensation for their time if you can spare it. **Developer response:** I'm sorry the latest update broke so much for you. Thank you for using Neon and for the kind words. Please send the details through Settings → Send Feedback and I'll look into it as soon as I can. ### 2/5 — needs work. *2025-05-12* half the of the features in this app do not work. lie creating a gradient? nope. Sharing? nope. saving a color you edited? nope. I wanted to like it but it has to actually work if i'm going to pay for it **Developer response:** I'm sorry those features aren't working for you. Thank you for giving Neon a try. Please send the details through Settings → Send Feedback and I'll get to it as soon as I can. ### 2/5 — Needs To Improve Functionality *2021-01-27* My rating would've been higher if I was actually able to use the app. The app itself seems amazing and as an artist I would use it daily if the option was available. I was only able to try the features a couple times before the pop up came up saying that if I would like to continue I needed to purchase Neon Pro to be able to capture unlimited colors and gradients. To put out a free app and then make the users pay for the main feature is ridiculous. If you want someone to buy your app, make it $1.99 to download it instead. Making the Image Pallet Stickers, Alternate App Icons, and Random Gradients behind a pay wall makes sense, they're additions that won't take away from the main function, the apps purpose, and the apps general functionality. The ICloud Sync feature I feel shouldn't be behind a pay wall either, it's a complete pain, but at least it doesn't make it unusable and pointless to download. If you were to put additional captures behind ad walls so for instance watching an ad and then getting 5 more captures, I would definitely continue using your app. It would be a bit of a pain to some, but I don't mind watching ads for apps that I love to use and serve their purpose(especially ones that do it well). If you ever decide to update your app and make it more functional, I would love to use it again. I think it has a lot of potential and would be very helpful to many artists like myself. ### 2/5 — You cannot make gradient from picture *2020-05-06* I bought this app to make gradient from colors I choose on my photos and not having to use my laptop for it and it’s not possible to do it. You cannot make gradient from an image or preselected colors only from a picture you take live while on the app. ### 3/5 — Requesting updates *2025-12-30* Hello. I’d like to request a better onboarding process with steps. The user has no instructions. Thanks **Developer response:** Thank you for using Neon and for the suggestion. There's now a stepped onboarding flow — you can replay it anytime from Settings → Show Onboarding. If anything still feels unclear, please send details through Settings → Send Feedback and I'll get to it as soon as I can. ### 4/5 — Image Formats *2020-10-10* Really like the app so far! Please add the ability to save color tile as PNG, Bitmap, etc. **Developer response:** Thank you for using Neon and for the kind words. You can share colors, palettes, and gradients as images today. If a specific format is still missing, please send the details through Settings → Send Feedback and I'll get to it as soon as I can. ### 4/5 — Unable to pick specific areas *2020-03-11* Update: The developer added the ability to tap a specific point in an image to sample. Second update: initially I didn’t realize it did display RBG and HSL values because it’s not displayed in the initial sampling data. You have to actually save the color to your library. Which is a little clunky and unintuitive. Hard to tell from the description and screenshots. But you can’t tap to pick a specific area of an image and get the color data. It only pulls the most significant colors from the image. Definitely not helpful for my purposes. **Developer response:** Really sorry :( This has been on my roadmap forever and the next update will bring tagging to the colors and the ability to pick colors from any part of the image. Sorry for not being able to meet your expectations. Hopefully the next update will rectify the error. Thank you for using Neon. ### 4/5 — This is the greatest color app *2020-03-02, version 2.0* For any design purpose. For capturing colors. For capturing color gradients and color ranges. This is the app you need! More sorting and perhaps folders or categorization would be awesome. **Developer response:** Love to hear that you’re liking Neon and Thank you for the suggestions! ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good color app *2024-11-30* Love the simplicity and function.

Particularly like the automatic gradient feature using the camera, super slick. Keep up the awesome work! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Fab *2021-01-29* Great tool for getting the Hex, RGB or CMYK codes for either photography editing or for interior design. Better than paying £95 for a Nix colour sensor. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this review. Means a lot! ### 5/5 — G.. *2020-04-24* G.. **Developer response:** Thank you! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
