### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2021-07-10*

Crashes every time even on a brand new iPad Pro, needs some serious work for this to be a good useful app, constant crashes and slow.

**Developer response:** We have a new version coming out shortly hopefully this will address some of your issues

### 1/5 — If only I could give 0 stars...

*2021-01-22*

Downloaded thinking I would try use the ‘painting’ feature to see what paint colours would look like on a wall. The app freezes and crashes as soon as a picture is taken or selected. Taking time to write this so that you don’t have to waste 5 minutes of your life.

**Developer response:** Hey guys we've got a new version out now with a few of the bugs squashed have a go!

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve ever used

*2020-12-31*

Very slow, makes my phone hot, crashes every 2 minutes, not to mention, it doesn’t actually work. Try as I might it refuses to colour the walls. Don’t waste your time.

**Developer response:** Hey guys we've got a new version out now with a few of the bugs squashed have a go!

### 1/5 — App needs work

*2020-12-27*

Great idea, but doesn’t work. Constantly quits and have to start again each time. Did it about 20 times in a 5 minutes, got sick of it, deleted app.

**Developer response:** Hey guys we've got a new version out now with a few of the bugs squashed have a go!

### 1/5 — Worst app I’ve used

*2024-03-27*

Keeping the app simple is good. At the expense of usability, terrible idea. I’ve had it less than 30 sec. It won’t take a pic when I want it. Except when phone pointed at the floor. And I can’t get a colour on the wall when I finally got the wall on the phone. Palette does what? Nothing I found. Did ANY user testing get done on this? I don’t think so

### 1/5 — Whaaaat,

*2023-06-27*

Downloaded this app and what a waste of time, my 9 yr old grandson could develop a more sophisticated app come on Resene, get a 9 r old or a professional to develop an app.
His app is blotchy, fuzzy, and generally just trashy…..
Resene paint might be good but not their IT app abilities.
I would give a 0 (zero) for appraisal but not able to.

### 1/5 — Crashes all the time

*2022-11-20*

Impossible to do anything as it just crashes…

### 1/5 — Kept crashing

*2022-04-20*

Kept crashing. I want a feature where I use a photo of my house and try different colours.

### 1/5 — Should not be allowed on the App Store

*2022-04-15*

Regularly crashes and does not do what it is supposed to. This app undermines the Resene brand. They would be better off removing this and having nothing.

### 1/5 — Waste of space on the internet

*2022-03-12*

Absolute rubbish. Resene sells paint and has a wide range of colours, the end. How can we jazz this up? Hmm how about adding a clumsy spirit level, what about a terrible half arsed AR function… yeah that’s what the kids are into… or maybe a completely inaccurate colour analysing instrument that ultimately bring you back to the resene colour palette… do I really need to know the hex colour breakdowns for everything? Is that really useful? I’m sure if I’d spent more than 5 minutes playing with this app I would have found a way to sign up to a mailing list or maybe they’d tell me again how many colours they have to choose from or remind me again that they sell paint.

### 1/5 — Stashed when you try and use the paint function

*2021-12-19*

Useless App - crashes when you try and use the paint function - Dulux App is much better…..

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2021-11-16*

Crashes every time trying to use.  Who did the testing, as why release an app that doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-07-23*

Some functions don’t work, or keep crashing when I try to use them so can’t do anything I want on the app. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2021-07-17*

App is terrible, you can take a photo but it doesn’t work when you try and put a colour onto the walls, nothing happens - must just jam?
The 1 time it actually let me colour 1 wall it didn’t even cover the whole wall was just patches of colour spread out. Waste of time would give it 0 stars if I could.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2021-07-05*

Great app for choosing colours. See what your colour choices will look like before painting.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly useful

*2021-07-01*

I was out at a cafe having a cup of coffee when I saw this painting with a really awesome blue colour in it i used the colour picker and then I found an exact match from from the Resene colour library

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2021-07-01*

I think the App has been fixed or upgraded，somehow it works pretty well now. A creative and handy app I would definitely recommend.

### 5/5 — Smart business

*2020-11-16*

This is a great game changer for paint suppler. Well thought out. People made this are smart.

**Developer response:** Hey guys we've got a new version out now with a few of the bugs squashed have a go!

### 4/5 — Good but 1 problem..

*2024-08-26*

This is a good app that I recommend! But whenever I try to use the paint one, it crashes and I’m at my Home Screen. I’m sure this is just a glitch that they can probably fix (or I need to fix?) but over it’s a amazing app!

### 3/5 — Works ok

*2021-07-20*

Some of the colours simply won’t work or show on AR or pictures, ‘Breeze’ being one.
AR is patchy but you get the general idea.

### 2/5 — Crashes! App not ready for prime time!

*2021-09-27*

iPhone SE 2020, iOS 15. The app is a bit better on an iPhone than an iPad Pro 2020. Still crashes or freezes while trying out the app. I tried all the features, I can get so far before it crashes or freezes (AR black screen). Resene should have waited to advertise the app on TV! Too buggy!
