### 3/5 — Simple, and straightforward

*2019-01-07*

I really like how this is like a traditional card colour wheel. However, I would like to be able to see the hex codes for colours within the wheel, not just the root colours.

### 5/5 — Works!

*2018-10-22*

I am sorry I didn’t see this app before purchasing a colour wheel a couple of days a go.

### 1/5 — Add still there, don’t pay for this app

*2018-07-03*

I purchased the app and still have adds at the bottom of the screen, you can’t even see the gray scale chart at the bottom it’s covered by the add, I deleted the app and reinstalled it and still the same, do not buy this app

### 1/5 — Death by ad removal ads.

*2018-06-03*

I don't mind the ads, but being unable to use the app by being prompted to get rid of the ads by purchase made it unusable.

It's not a free app with ads, it's a purchased app you don't realise you need to purchase until you've downloaded it.

Don't waste your time.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2018-05-16*

Paid the $.99 to remove ads...  still get ads!   Force quit the app, nothing.  Ads cover the bottom of the app always.

Don’t bother paying, you’re just throwing money away.  Going to ask Apple to give me my money back and remove this deceptive app from the App Store for violating AppStore terms (by NOT doing what the in-app purchase claims it does.)

### 1/5 — Paid to remove ads—but they are still there

*2018-05-01*

I decided to support the developers by paying the 99 cents to remove the ads. The ads are still very much still there
