Does not accurately read the colour at all!!

Good for colorblind, okay for normal people

(My issue was resolved) I am red-green colorblind and have struggled determining colors even after getting CVD lenses for my glasses. This app is a great help for me when no one with normal vision is around, however the colors are more of a ballpark and some patterns can confuse it as it averages colors from a square. This is especially bad with TV or computer screens. It also uses odd words for colors like ā€œtomatoā€ and ā€œburnt siennaā€ very often.

This app has healed.

I used to use this a lot mainly for Crayola, I paid for it. But then it was taken away and locked behind a subscription. I was enraged, furious if you will. Recently I have noticed… CRAYOLA IS FREE! This app is healing! Thank you very much for making the one thing I used it for, and actually paid a one time payment for a long time ago, available free again! Also the web app doesn’t work you should probably look into that… Also please bring back the ability to see more similar colors and how similar (in %) they are. Thanks again!

All in all it’s useful even if it has its flaws.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. Give the default "What color" library a try for more common color names

Still don’t know what color it is

Brilliant. Works great and lots of fun

Not what I hoped for

I hoped it would help me identify the color of socks, pants, etc. (especially between black and navy). Unfortunately it can’t tell any better than I can. Mostly it says grey.

Good enough for most people

I’m not a color expert and don’t need super accurate hues and such. If I was I wouldn’t be using a free app on my phone anyway. So just know that this will get you what you need and it’s an app not a professional tool. Works great. Good job devs. Helped settle some arguments with the SO.

Indispensable if your color blind!!!!

Saved me so many times from wearing clothes that don’t match or don’t go together. Thank you !!!

They Changed

The app used to be completely free to use. They updated it about a month ago and now you have to pay to use half of the features they had before.

WHY IS IT SUBSCRIPTION NOW!?

Why did you make it a subscription I wish I had version 3 back! Add Lego color library please also!

Can’t Sign Up

It won’t send me an email, I can’t sign up. Also, add Lego color library please!

Good idea, stopped working

Used a few times, but when it mattered I just got the spinning thinking wheel. Closed and re-opened, tried several colors. Will be great app when reliable!

Great App

This App is what I was hoping for just wish I had thought to look for it earlier - I am colorblind n hate asking someone what color something is when shopping etc - so thanks a bunch for putting it out there really appreciate it - I’m excited abt it … Blessings

Doesn’t work

App freezes up constantly

Never has seen such useless app

Doesn’t pick one single color

Great! Here’s a suggestion.

This app is great, but I have an idea that would make it the best app for finding the color of something. That idea is adding a Lego color library. A Lego color library would be extremely great, because imagine the possibilities! And imagine the possibilities I did. And here are some of the possibilities written as sentences, written as if the Lego color library was just added today:
ā€œFinally, we can now make Lego builds of real objects with coloring as accurate as possible!ā€
ā€œFinally, we can use legos to create an image with the colors as accurate as possible, like we can and could use Crayola crayons to create an image this way!ā€

Features

It was the nice subtlety to slide up for other color variations. Literally gasped with satisfaction lol

Big help

I love that it has the polychromos colors I use it on every project

absolutely not

this app is terrible! I tested many colors and it did not give me any of the right ones I even tested black and it said it was not black. That is why I gave it one star.

great app, one problem (did not pay for anything)

this app is wonderful because you can just take a picture and it doesn't take up storage, it just tells you what color it is, the hex code, etc. sometimes the color names are inaccurate if you're doing the simple palate, so you have to switch to ntc, but they're usually pretty good! i also really love the fact that you can favorite colors, so i can go through and find nice colors and save them for later!! my biggest problem is that there's only four options for your color, i wish there were a few more, and sometimes it glitches so the random color will show the same thing until you close and reopen the app
i also really like how it will give you different color schemes or shades!
all in all a great app with a couple
improvements!!
