### 4/5 — 광고

*2025-05-23*

광고 없이 이용하려면 어떻게 하나요?

### 4/5 — You suk

*2025-04-27, version 2.11.0*

You suk

### 3/5 — Erro

*2025-02-09, version 2.10.3*

Não consigo comprar a versão pro. Ao tentar, o app quit. Por favor consertem!!

### 4/5 — Good App for what it does

*2024-03-07, version 2.10.3*

This App is good for converting images or anything from the camera back to a color cod RGB, HEX etc. it can also help with mixing colors by allowing your to simulate the mixing of colors. However I find that what I really want the App to do is to show me how to mix the color e.g 40% white 2% Red 1% Yellow. That’s what I really want and the app falls short of this.

### 3/5 — Can Improve

*2024-03-02, version 2.10.3*

The mixing feature is great but after saving the new color I have to take a screenshot to remember the porcentaje of used colors and the colors used for the mix.

A matching feature will be great, can speed up a lot the process.

Picking up color doesn’t works if your image has a lot of colors, I take a picture of my colors set and try to pick the colors but doesn’t work really well. I had to cut my image into small parts to get one or two colors.

### 4/5 — 앱은 편리했지만…

*2023-10-08*

광고가 너무 많더라고요. 광고가 많아 앱을 제대로 즐기지 못하는 부분이 많아서 광고 조금만 줄여주시면 좋을것 같습니다. 앱은 너무 편리해서 잘 쓰고 있습니다!

### 2/5 — Potential

*2023-08-31, version 2.9.0*

I like the potential for this app but it is has some major problems. When trying to detect colours from your own image, if the original photo is landscape, the detect is orientated wrong and doesn’t show the colour where you are selecting. Also, you need to put some work into the picker tool and magnify the area where you are selecting the color. Maybe have an option in how many pixels you’re selecting the colour from.
It would also be handy to see at least one colour blend of our own palette before having to pay for the pro version.
Limited use for this as the app is at the moment.

### 4/5 — Great but Room for improvement

*2023-01-09, version 2.7.1*

This app is pretty great! 
There’s a few things that I wish were different though.
The main one is when you go to the palette or library and tap on a color, I wish it would tell you how to achieve it. That way if you mix a color on the app and you save it and want to recreate the color later with paints you know exactly what colors to use and how much of each color.

The other thing is I wish it would show you what you get with the pro. Because honestly it’s hard to tell what you would actually get besides no more adds. Everything it describes I feel like you can do without the pro? Idk.. it just has a poor explanation.

Pretty cool app though!

### 3/5 — Potential for improvement

*2022-09-17, version 2.5.0*

It would be better if you could rename your colors. Saving the mixed colors is pointless. When I click on a color on the palette tab, it should output the percentage of each color in your pallete. Also if I click on a color on the palette tab, I want it to say 1 part yellow, 2 parts green.

### 5/5 — I think it’s great!

*2022-08-05, version 2.5.0*

I’m honestly not getting the bad reviews, and I’m glad I decided to not listen and get the app anyway. There were hardly any ads, and I think the UI is smooth and pretty nice! Keep up the good work! I’ll be using this as my primary app from now on

### 5/5 — 구독취소

### 1/5 — Unprompted Advertising

*2025-04-21, version 2.11.0*

When using an app and getting an unprompted ad 5 mins into using it; I’m deleting it and giving you 1 star. 

I’d cut the star in half if I could.

### 1/5 — Why can’t I buy pro

*2025-02-09, version 2.10.3*

All I want to do is buy pro so my 3 year old can mix colors and not be inundated with gambling ads every 30 seconds. Would gladly pay 5 dollars for it but the app crashes whenever I try to buy it.

### 1/5 — Propagandas invasivas

*2025-02-03, version 2.10.3*

Cheio de propagandas invasivas que impedem utilização do App e cobrem informações que estavam sendo utilizadas no momento. Não utilizem.

### 1/5 — Ads ads ads

*2024-07-16, version 2.10.3*

Can’t use app for 10 seconds without a 30 second app popping up

### 1/5 — Deleted within minutes

*2024-06-24, version 2.10.3*

Kindergarten level app. So basic. Great concept but like using a first concept undeveloped idea.

### 1/5 — 1/5

*2023-08-21, version 2.9.0*

Не работает, программа перестала загрузиться

### 1/5 — Good idea but the execution leaves much to be desired

*2023-03-12*

The idea is good for the artist - store the colours you have and use the app to tell you what colours to mix to get a different colour. Problem is I can’t work out how to save the colours I have, game over, deleted !

### 1/5 — Lacking features

*2022-05-23, version 2.4.0*

I bought the pro version but realized that the app lack of features.

One of the most important would be to be able to name the colors I create, that way it would be easier to access them.

Another would be to show what colors were used to create specific mixings with their ratios.

I hope this could be implemented and maybe change my opinion about this app.

### 1/5 — Deleted immediately

*2022-05-15, version 2.4.0*

There are a few issues with this app. But I love the idea behind it. The implementation is just not quite right. 

First, the moment I opened the app, I immediately got a nag screen popping up asking me to rate and review the app. That right there will earn a “one star review” even on an app that turns out to be great. Let us use the darned thing before asking us to review it. 

Second, while it will certainly let you open a photo to select a color, there is no obvious way to zoom in so that you can accurately select a color. I opened an image of color swatches. Each swatch was at least 40x40 pixels. And I couldn’t accurately grab one. So if I can’t grab a color from an image of color swatches, how could I even get an accurate sample from a real photo? 

Maybe I’ll come back later when this app is more mature. If I haven’t found a better option by then….

### 1/5 — There’s a lot to be put right

*2022-05-01, version 2.4.0*

It only supports one palette. Colours in the palette cannot be edited. Needs to support HSL, not HSV. Colours extracted from images are incorrect (I have run multiple tests to check this against other apps). When creating a colour if you try and paste a hex code with a hash in it the hash is NOT ignored and the paste fails (this makes it very difficult to use with other apps). And it is way too expensive. Needs work, but has potential.

### 5/5 — They did not pay me to say this

*2024-07-05, version 2.10.3*

This is one of the best apps ever show me all different colors and now I have like 1 million favorite colors because of this app you know what I play games that have color codes and I struggle to pick the prettiest color but when I started playing this app. It just made me so happy because I can find pretty colors now and when I’m shopping, I can find the right hex code for it. You should definitely download this game. It’s kind of like the best thing you can imagine and I love the coffee colors a lot. I hope you have a fun time at this game.

### 5/5 — Took a min to get the hang of it…

*2023-10-27, version 2.10.2*

But well worth it! I like the one time flat fee, then it’s yours. Use this app all the time!

### 5/5 — Lipstick maker
