One can quickly & easily recolor all parts of the image (walls, baseboards, doors, etc.) All other apps I tried had expensive AI subscription junk (there’s a time & place for it) or could only do realtime or only one wall or had no control over the flood fill (& could not do manual touch ups), etc. My only qualm (hence the -1 star) was: 1. the annoying snap-back to the full-zoom everytime I hit Done., & 2. One time when attempting to flood fill white baseboards with another color refused to work for some unknown reason. ### 4/5 — Love the app. Worth paying for pro. BUT *2024-06-17, version 4.6.5* It’s missing one feature that would be SO helpful and would make the rating 5 stars. We ned to be able to save two images/rooms at once in full editable mode. Rooms generally have 4 walls, or are 360°. I need to be able to paint the whole room. I can easily get two walls in one pic. 3 walls if I don’t want/need details (but I do). If I could save two pix, one with the north and east walls, one with the south and west walls that I could keep swapping between whenever I change colors, that would be awesome! Great app otherwise. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Worth paying for pro. BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER PAINT VISUALIZATION APPS by a mile! ### 4/5 — Works good but could use a select area tool *2023-09-17, version 4.6.5* Worked good but needs a select area so you can fill that area ### 5/5 — What I was looking for! *2023-09-16, version 4.6.5* Super easy to use and allows you to save what you like and the paint pallets with it. ### 5/5 — Excelente app *2023-06-08, version 4.6.5* Utilizar esta app a sido mi mejor decisión, 👍🏽 ### 5/5 — Totally worth the upgrade! *2023-04-16, version 4.6.5* Very cool app. Have a lot of painting to do and this is making it so easy to pick our colors.Beats the home improvement’s tool hands down. It’s fun too 🫶Totally worth the upgrade! Thanks to the developers for such a cool app 😎 ### 5/5 — Excellent paint color demo app *2023-04-16, version 4.6.5* This is the best app I found to check what paint colors would look on your walls. Works very well. Has lots of manual adjustments. I’d highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — Nice to see paint up b4 you commit and buy *2023-04-03, version 4.6.5* Thanks!! ### 2/5 — Great functionality BUT *2023-03-28, version 4.6.5* Still see ads even when you purchase it, very disappointing ### 5/5 — Pay for the upgrade! *2023-02-20, version 4.6.5* The free version is pretty low quality and requires a lot of extra editing work. The upgraded version was so worth the $3! The editing takes less time and the picture quality is so much better. Love this app! ### 5/5 — Best paint app thus far *2023-01-24, version 4.6.5* I have struggled finding and app that does what it is supposed to. This app painted what I needed and it was easy. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2022-11-07, version 4.6.5* I wish they had designs for like counter top but loving this app ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2022-06-30, version 4.6.5* Of trying several paint apps this one is easily followed ### 4/5 — Simple app to play with paint colors *2022-06-16, version 4.6.5* I love how this app reads shadows. The only thing that it’s missing are drivers that allow higher quality pictures to be taken. Right now they come out more grainy then then the phone camera can do. ### 5/5 — Great *2022-05-19, version 4.6.5* Awesome app ### 5/5 — Unreal how great this is! *2022-05-11, version 4.6.5* I was hesitant about this app because it was free, but OMG! This is so simple to use, I have ZERO artistic skills but it made painting my fire place and fine tuning the edges so simple! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ### 5/5 — Obsessed *2022-04-12, version 4.6.5* I will never paint anything again without popping it into this app first. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM!! *2026-08-17, version 4.6.5* SCAM! Redirected me to a scam site saying my CC was used to purchase something at the Apple Store for 349.99 and I need to call. ### 1/5 — Too difficult to navigate.. *2023-03-16, version 4.6.5* It looks like you have to buy the app to actually use it. The free version is just a platform for advertising and paint palettes. I wanted to see how it works before purchasing but couldn’t figure it out. Very difficult to navigate. Looking elsewhere.. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2022-02-27, version 4.6.5* This should be pulled the App Store it total junk worst app in the world ### 1/5 — Frank *2021-09-26, version 4.6.5* Very poor app not easy to follow difficult to navigate and exit out of pictures are not easy to take and coordinate with ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-06-10, version 4.6.3* I’m so disappointed. For me it’s a complete fail. Either the technology doesn’t work (it can’t select cupboards or walls as a section to paint) or it’s so difficult & confusing to use that I can’t get it to work (& I’m an IT professional) ### 1/5 — Bugs *2021-05-26, version 4.6.3* Fill the complete picture with color. I paid for the full version. I already used this app before and I did not have this problem. Please contact me ### 1/5 — Another Tracking app! *2021-04-01, version 4.6.3* It seems suspicious that a paint sampler app needs to track its users to other apps and websites. I’m wondering if this isn’t just a minor utility app whose primary purpose is to harvest personal data. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2021-02-25, version 4.5.4* This app is retarded you have to color the wall each time without changing the color once again they ripped me off $3 for trash crashed 5 times in the first hr ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-10-25, version 4.5.4* You cannot select a paint brand and color name/code, instead you must specify RGB color values. Guess what - paint uses pigments, not RGB pixel colors! Also is incompatible with older devices. This app was a waste of time and now will promptly be deleted. ### 1/5 — CRASHES CONSTANTLY *2020-10-09, version 4.5.4* This app crashes constantly and doesn’t save your work. Waste of money. Extremely disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — About it *2026-01-04, version 4.6.5* Really good ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-04-12, version 4.6.5* Enables you to really visualise your room. I’d tried the Dulux one, it was very clunky to use, others I tried wanted money for basic functions, the cost of this one, if you want the additional features is less than a cup of coffee! ### 5/5 — Finally a simple and effective diy app. Well done. *2025-03-28, version 4.6.5* Finally a simple and effective diy app. Well done. ### 5/5 — Helpful tool *2025-03-19, version 4.6.5* I have been using this for years; it gives a good idea of how color will look. I’d love to see some upgrades like finer control over lines. Overall love using this app. ### 5/5 — Kitchen paint *2025-02-27, version 4.6.5* Thankyou for helping me with choosing a color for my kitchen ### 5/5 — Útil e intuitivo *2025-02-10, version 4.6.5* Ideal para ver cómo podría quedar un cambio de color en el ambiente ### 5/5 — Very good app *2024-10-29, version 4.6.5* This took all the headache out of color matching. Very easy to use app ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-08-10, version 4.6.5* Really easy to use and amazing selection of colours. Very useful for helping me choose the colours for all the rooms in my house. ### 5/5 — Good app for intended purpose *2024-07-29, version 4.6.5* Inwas able to navigate the app to gain intended results quickly and without a bunch of wasted time simply learning the app first. Good user experience ### 5/5 — Very useful *2024-05-31, version 4.6.5* I’ve been using the Dulux visualiser but it impossible to do anything smaller than a wall, I wanted to change the colour of the woodwork and this app lets me do that easily.
