Use go matching paint at work.

Pantone!!
Pbraff

So happy that you now have Pantone in your app. Price is very affordable. Especially since the fandecks can be expensive and must rebuy every two years.

Cool little unit
rickatolla

I like the compare function a lot. I like how it breaks the two comparison colors down to lab, lch, rgb, & cmyk. I just wish that they added a graphic arts function.

Account creation now required to see history
dh868

The Sept 2020 app update prevents access to the history of previously scanned colors or comparing colors until an account is created. The previous app version allowed access to both without an account. Removing access to force account creation is annoying behavior for an app that is supporting a piece of hardware that was purchased from the company. The app should be facilitating use of the color muse, not obstructing use and collecting email addresses. Also, after creating an account, the display of previously scanned colors only shows 4 or 5 on the screen at one time and the hex RGB codes (e.g. #B2A334) are not displayed. The previous app showed 24 colors on the screen with the RGB codes. The new app does allow adding notes to the scanned colors and downloading a spreadsheet with all the color info including the RGB codes, which are nice features. Displaying additional color info with the scans would be a useful improvement. The 3 star review is for the Sept 2020 app, the Color Muse tool rates 5 stars - it’s small, quick, and reasonably accurate.

Nice app
SweetSolitude98

Nice app, nice features.

Horrible update
Rigsmas

Everything was great until the new update. I do not like it all. Too complicated

Not super accurate
Justicegirl01

I actually had the name of the paint chip that it scanned it only gave it one star for being a match. Maybe there is a way to do this that I don’t know about to have an accurate but it doesn’t seem to be working the way I thought it would.

Just needs Apple Watch App
Flight Fan

Works phenomenally! Just needs an Apple Watch App which would allow me to log colors on the job site even faster.

Very handy, but
Rdyornot

The ability to save the scanned color instead of just the paint matches would be very useful.

Absurd.
Radar1234

New version of app is terrible. Way too many steps to get going. 1st step: Select create account or login. 2nd step: use your email and password to sign in and click submit. 3rd step: select your region (North America) 4th step: select package (paint and coatings) 5th step: shows you a tutorial that you have to skip 6th step: click on “connect device” 7th step: click on your listed device 8th step: click on “calibrate device” Only then, can you start scanning. This is absurd. Preposterous. What other app do you use that requires this many steps to get going? What app requires your entire email and password every. single. time??
