But I have yet to test it out on the tacky 70’S paneling in the hallway & bedrooms. Until then I've got to give it a 4 star rating. It was was worth having for helping me make a firm decision something I don't do well, that alone gives it 3 stars the fourth is just because it's super easy to figure out and and just get it done! ### 3/5 — Good *2016-01-19, version 4.0* It works great. It also crashes frequently, and you can't retrieve your works. They need to fix this problem by adding a last work reload option. ### 2/5 — Started off great. Not so much now *2015-12-03, version 4.0* The app continuously crashes before I can save it. Even after updating the app and all software on my phone, it continues to crash. It didn't used to do this and it renders it almost totally useless now. ### 5/5 — This app is made to make life easy! *2015-06-12, version 3.0* I use this app to design the outside of homes. It's very impressive! ### 5/5 — Fast and easy *2015-05-12, version 3.0* Easy to learn and use. ### 5/5 — Lovelovelove *2015-05-12, version 3.0* In love with this app!!! Helped me more than I could ever imagine! ### 4/5 — Awesome!! *2015-05-10, version 3.0* Love this! Using it to try and figure out what color to paint our house. I wish there was stone option. I'm thinking of painting the top and putting a stone veneer on the bottom. If that were here this app would be even more spectacular! ### 4/5 — Handy but imprecise *2015-05-02, version 3.0* More work than one would hope to get edges right. Wish I could drag brush rather than guessing the spot to touch. Cookout matching is always dicey. But still it's handy and works. ### 5/5 — Good *2015-04-30, version 3.0* Simple, effective! ### 5/5 — Ck *2015-03-24, version 3.0* Great app - easy to use (very intuitive) and gets the job done. Easy to pick colors out of photos. Works well on iPhone 6 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app ever! *2022-06-28, version 4.5.0* It is definitely not useful! As it looks like your painting with a marker on a photo! Seriously! Do not download it’s waist of money! ### 1/5 — Would be great if.... *2019-06-13, version 4.5.0* Would be great if I could actually finish a project on it before it crashes every single time. I’ve tried at least a dozen times. What a shame. I’m happy that it wasn’t an expensive app. ### 1/5 — Terrible colors *2017-04-11, version 4.0* This does not come close to reading true colors from a painted wall. OK I guess if you like 50 shades of grey. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2017-03-25, version 4.0* Crashes in the middle of work and not way to resume your work even when it doesn't crash. ### 1/5 — Don't buy this app! *2016-08-09, version 4.0* This would be a great app, if it worked. I would spend a long time creating a painted wall and the app just closes. It's very frustrating when you pay for something and it doesn't work, Don't buy this app! ### 1/5 — Don't buy *2015-11-21, version 4.0* It only works if the original color is white, otherwise, the original color shows through the paint color. This's so more like a school project, not ready for prime time. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-10-18, version 3.0* Good if you want to add paint all over the photo and sloppy. Will take hours to get a photo to paint properly and it doesn't even carry the lighting over from the original photo. Just puts blobs of color on top of photo. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2015-06-26, version 3.0* This app crashes and it doesn't save your work. It is a complete waste of money. The free one was better. The masking tape option works way better on the free one then the pay one. I want my money back!!!! ### 1/5 — Not good *2012-06-25, version 2.1* Clumsy, there is really lots of growth oppoutunity for this app. As it is it is not very useful. The engine needs to do much acurate job and the interface can be lots more user friendly. User fr ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2012-06-21, version 2.1* Loved the idea of this app. Very clumsy and unfriendly to use. There are much friendlier apps out there. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app for color challenged *2023-06-19, version 4.5.0* I have such a hard time visualizing what color will look best. This is a great app for people like me. ### 5/5 — Excelente! *2019-04-13, version 4.5.0* Funciona muy bien ### 5/5 — The best for trying out wall paint *2018-12-31, version 4.5.0* No idea why this gets poor reviews. It is worth every cent. This was the only app (I tried many!) that accurately coloured my walls and was smart enough to compensate for shadows etc. I also LOVE the colour picker feature- I can snag a colour from a photo, or just type in my RGB values etc. I loved that it was so intuitive- automatically saving my custom photos and allowing me to grab a larger or smaller paint area with ease. Seriously, if your goal is to test paint on your walls, this is the best app for you. ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2018-06-19, version 4.5.0* I couldn’t visualize my new blue house in any other color, but this app helped enormously. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2016-07-09, version 4.0* Been using the free version off and on for a year so decided to buy it. ### 5/5 — The Best *2016-02-02, version 4.0* I love this app! ### 5/5 — Great App *2015-09-20, version 3.0* I have had plain white walls for years.. Not anymore ### 5/5 — Very handy *2015-08-07, version 3.0* We taped free swatches to the wall, took a photo with the phone, and then used this app to get a preview of what that color would look like all over the wall. Very cool. ### 5/5 — Nice! *2015-07-21, version 3.0* Easy to use and really looks like the room is painted. Keeps shadows, tone, etc. definitely plan to use when I choose paint colors for all the rooms in my new home. ### 5/5 — Unbelievable!! *2015-06-17, version 3.0* Absolutely innovative! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
