Needs some tweaks *2023-01-30* I’d like the color info to be on the first screen. I’d like to see where the hue angle falls on a color wheel. I’d like to be able to change the exposure on my camera before taking the photo. Nice app. ### 4/5 — Split view needed *2022-09-21* If this app supported split view I would easily add that extra ⭐️ Please devs consider adding this small but very important feature for artists. 👏🙏🫶 ### 3/5 — Cannot use rear camera? *2022-09-11* Oleg, The app reports that it’s not authorized to use the rear camera and it appears not to be changeable. Use of camera is an important factor for my application. Please advise. Thanks, George ### 3/5 — I’ll bump it to 5 stars when privacy info was disclosed *2022-06-16* I like this color detector. I have a few and i find this one to be highly accurate compared to others. A BIG issue for me is that privacy information is not disclosed for this app. It’s 2022 - that’s not acceptable. Will definitely make it a 5 stars if/when info is disclosed and the developer confirms no data (or meta data from photos) is collected. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2021-08-08* I found a picture of “the room I could die in”. I had difficulty finding the right colour paints and fabrics. It has simplified colour matching and I’m very happy with this app. ### 5/5 — The best so far! *2021-06-02, version 1.09* Exactly and only the functions needed, worth to buy. Simple and functional UI. Two features that I'd love to see: 1) tap to enlarge color to full screen, and 2) RAL colors along with Pantone. Great work ### 5/5 — Super *2021-03-30* Idéal pour retrouver une teinte de peinture a partir d’une photo ### 5/5 — Very good *2021-01-28* I mean I only actually needed it once but it’s very useful now for finding cool colours in the database and messing around ### 5/5 — Very cool *2021-01-01* Good work guys :) ### 5/5 — Easy to use. Mostly accurate *2020-12-29* Easy to use and mostly accurate as far as I can tell. ### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says it does *2020-11-25* That alone puts it head and shoulders above the other apps. I’m color blind and I need an app where I can type in the hex# and get a color back. Names are inconsistent across companies and I need a consistent variable. This app is perfect. Now I can give my employees a hex# instead of trying to explain what a color looks like to me. Which is always just a ton of fun. 🤨 ### 5/5 — Helpful app! *2020-08-08* I’m colorblind, so this app has really helped me with identifying colors I can’t see correctly. I would highly recommend this for anyone dealing with colorblindness. ### 5/5 — Thank you so much *2020-08-04* This isn’t just a nice to have... For me it’s a must have! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App. *2024-03-17* Unable to open. ### 1/5 — La recherche HEX ne fonctionne pas *2022-09-18* Dommage ### 1/5 — Not accessible with voice over *2021-10-26* Doesn’t work with voice over ! I was so excited to tell all my blind friends. Doesn’t work with Apple iPhone accessibility. Too bad. :( ### 1/5 — Nope *2021-08-05* Extremely glitchy and nobody has time to open and close app repeatedly. Photos often don’t show up in album at all...sometimes, but most of the time they disappear. Frustrating app. Moving on to try many other color apps out there. ### 1/5 — Pessima *2020-07-27, version 1.07* Non funziona su iPad mini 5 con iOS 13.5.1 ### 1/5 — No just no *2020-07-08* I bought this app and I’ll take a picture of darkness to see it work said it was pink purple and yellow I don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-04-26* It just gives random colours. DO NOT USE ### 1/5 — nope *2019-12-15* I have a pale yellow wall and it said it was brown.:( ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for images from camera roll *2019-06-01* I wanted to use this app for isolating colors for art. I wanted to identify colors in an image in my camera roll but when I selected it it didn’t bring it up. ### 2/5 — Good concept but doesn’t work.. *2022-07-25* Colors are very inaccurate. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic app that was supported on my older iPhone *2026-07-22* This app did exactly what I needed, which was to generate the hex color code from a portion of a photo. It even includes the closest Pantone color as well for your convenience. It is currently ad sponsored but they are not at all obnoxious. I was grateful that it worked on my older iPhone 8 Plus, which can’t be upgraded beyond iOS 16.x I highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — Great App! *2026-05-03* Simple, straightforward and accurate. Thank you to the developer. ### 5/5 — 5 Stars! *2025-01-24* This is the best app for colour recognition! It gives you the Lab value which I need the most but you don't find in other similar apps. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-06-18* Hi, This is a great tool; easy to use and a great resource for anyone who wants to identify an exact colour in a photo. Thanks for developing this tool! ### 5/5 — Partial Colorblind -> Best Tool *2024-05-28* Im partial colorblind. Best tool there is for mobile. Thank you Developers for this app it changes many things for me :D ### 5/5 — Very interesting application *2023-10-23* Very interesting application. It can help me create my colors from the primary colors for my paintings. Suggestion: when I click on a color, I would like to choose in which mode appears above the photo. For a painter it would be better if the CMYK mode is displayed first? Could you do that? ### 5/5 — Very functional *2023-06-22* I think it could mix up the main colours and get a resulto of what Color the object is mainly ### 5/5 — Excelente para quem trabalha com papelaria personalizada *2023-01-18* Indispensável para quem trabalha com papelaria personalizada e convites. ### 5/5 — Excellent app for the color challenged *2022-12-08* I’ve tried four different apps to assist with partial color vision impairment, and this is the best I’ve tried so far. ### 5/5 — Helps a lot *2021-11-11* I’m mildly colourblind and this helps a lot thanks (: --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
