Please fix it ### 4/5 — Amazing *2022-03-18, version 1.1* This is a really great app. It’s super useful for isolating colors and learning how colors are affected by different lighting conditions. The only thing I would change is that there isn’t any way to see the hsb of the colors, just hex and rgb. ### 3/5 — I wish it worked... *2020-11-28, version 1.1* The interface is easy to use and I like how everything should work....but it glitches and isn’t identifying the colors in my currently selected picture. It’s still stuck on the last pictures colors. Dunno how to make it refresh itself. It keeps happening, which makes the app pretty useless until this gets fixed. ### 4/5 — Really good app, would be perfect if... *2020-06-25, version 1.1* The app had the ability to manually dial in exact WP and Exposure values. As it gets pretty hard to dial in exact 6500 with the slider. The app had the ability to see the RGB Values live. ### 5/5 — Extremely helpful *2019-12-22, version 1.1* Works like a dream, is accurate AF, now I know exactly what that lego pice colour is called irl, yissss ### 3/5 — Lighting greatly impacts results *2019-06-03, version 1.1* I have used this on Benjamin Moore paint whose names I know. It comes up with other matches and varies greatly depending on ambient light. It would be nice if there were a way to automatically adjust for the ambient light. ### 2/5 — Better design for app *2019-04-15, version 1.1* Add color detector by name and RGB in picture and camera.add color picker from picture and make color ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-02-25, version 1.1* I’m trying to match the color of the gelcoat on my off-white boat. Really helps quantify the color content. ### 5/5 — very cool very easy *2018-03-02, version 1.1* would love to be able to choose the paint company. ie sherwin williams or benjamin etc. can’t think of anything else i’d want. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-01-08, version 1.0.1* One of my favorite apps!!! PERFECT for the color lover ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2023-01-10, version 1.1* A total waste of time. No instructions on how to use, live view upside down, don’t waste your time downloading ### 1/5 — Everything isn’t grey *2022-05-24, version 1.1* I used this app to detect differences in wall paint on some light color blues and greens. It called everything a shade of grey, sometimes multiple shades of grey were suggested for the same wall. Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — once a favorite app.. *2021-08-30, version 1.1* now i can't even use it. :( it won't open, just closes right away when i try. i was hoping maybe there would be an update to fix this, but it's been happening for a while now. ### 1/5 — does not work properly *2021-08-02, version 1.1* you have a bunch of lines instead of a clear picture… this app had potential. ### 1/5 — Can’t even open *2021-05-22, version 1.1* When I tap the app it just closes it again. ### 1/5 — Failed to find colour *2021-02-21, version 1.1* Failed to find colours in anything I tried it on. Flash on or off colour was way off. Chose colours far less saturated than what it was scanning. iPhone 12 pro. Tried ‘what a color’ instead and that got it right straight away. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-07-19, version 1.1* I want to love this app again but it’s crashing 😩 I wrote to app support, no response 😫 ### 1/5 — Update needed!! Doesn’t open!! Crashed *2020-06-18, version 1.1* Doesn’t open after initial download.. can only use it once and if you close it.. it doesn’t open again. Incompatible. Thought it was great though for the one time it worked. ### 1/5 — not what i was looking for *2020-03-01, version 1.1* not instinctive to use ### 1/5 — How the hell do you use this app !? *2019-07-28, version 1.1* Looks interesting, but needs more instructions. I can’t figure out how to use it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best picker app *2024-06-11, version 1.1* Oh swatches I thought I’d lost you! You’ve come back even better. Missed you so much, nothing compares. ### 5/5 — Top app for designers! *2022-12-20, version 1.1* I use this app all the time, it catalogues all your colours and allows you to export in all ways. Love it 🙏 ### 5/5 — Splendid App *2022-09-21, version 1.1* Love this app thank you ### 5/5 — Straightforward, simple, absolutely fantastic. *2021-09-26, version 1.1* No strange permissions (just camera and photos), no intrusive ads, no hounding you to spend an absurd amount of money per week for a “premium” version. Heck it doesn’t have any in-app purchases whatsoever. Simply does what it says and does it well. ### 5/5 — Ding dong *2021-09-23, version 1.1* Ding dong ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2020-11-24, version 1.1* I just absolutely love this app. Works very well and is easy to use, made some very beautiful palettes for me☺️☺️ ### 5/5 — Please make an ipados version *2020-10-01, version 1.1* Great for the iPhone, but not formatted for the iPad. ### 5/5 — Seems to do the job. *2020-09-16, version 1.1* Just quickly tried it out and it seems to do the job. Scanned the scene and picked the colour of the object successfully. Of course light conditions seem to impact but I’d imagine you’d need to work that out. ### 5/5 — This app is so well designed and useful *2020-02-23, version 1.1* We tried quite a few colour pickers but this one is amazing, does everything I could want and is a great design. Well done! ### 5/5 — Question for developer *2019-12-30, version 1.1* Can you manually select the colors you want within a photo? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
