User reviews

Mountain Bird

This is just what I was looking for!! Just place your finger anywhere on the image and up comes the RGB or Hex code. It also provides a wide range of colors with the codes attached. Fabulous app. Well worth the small price. I can't believe it is so cheap.

No picture function...

Not worth the money, cause I can't take my own picture and analyse the colors!

Response from developer

We’re very sorry about the issue. A major update has been released that fixes all the problems. The app has been completely rewritten and improved.

Great tool for business or pleasure

This app is a great tool for matching a required color if a cross reference is not available. I used this app to match a Bureau of Land Management color swatch to a RAL number so that our vendors could provide the right color.

I would change the icon to something less childlike to attract professionals and younger people, but that doesn't affect the rating.
