### 5/5 — Shade Wave is awesome!

*2020-11-13*

This program really makes communication with my lab easier. I just ordered the handle and shade tab holder so I can hopefully do this myself. Thanks so much for creating this program.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2020-11-05*

This app is simple to use and makes my iPhone take amazing photos. Super convenient and connects to my labs in the cloud. 
The best are the voice commands to take the photo. My patients ask about it and are impressed. 
My shades from my lab are right on due to the shade matching part of the program. Kuddos! Great job highly recommend it.
