Love the app. Extremely accurate with the color picker. One problem I have is that the fps drops significantly when color picking a photo in your camera roll. Other than that this is a very excellently made app.

Had high hopes. I found this app on product hunt, and was so excited to use it. When I bought the app it was a let down. It doesn’t do anything like I thought it would. I like a color and nothing saves. I like another, another, and nothing. So I am not sure what the heart button is supposed to even do? There are no user guides. And it’s not very user friendly. Hope to see some improvement because I was let down, I’m not sure why it has so many great reviews.

New owners. I used to love Aurora, and was surprised to see the reviews in the state they are in, but then I grabbed it again and it made sense. The original author of this app (who you can find in the release notes for older versions) appears to have sold this and several other of his older apps to PoeticBytes, and every single one of them has reviews that mention crashing, strange behaviors, and functionality that just plain doesn't work. Aurora is definitely in sad shape now. It crashes frequently, windows can't resize correctly, I even got it into a state where each time I opened it, it opened multiple copies of the main window, and crashed when I tried to close one. On top of this, as of time of writing, PoeticBytes has no support or contact information on their site. I would definitely avoid any of their apps until/unless these issues are resolved.

Great Concept, but very buggy. Solid app design, it’s the best I’ve found in its category in terms of simplicity and navigation…when it works. It’s currently very buggy. When I “heart” a color, the app crashes. When I create a new palette, the app crashes. Every time. Otherwise, it’s really great, and hoping that the developer will address the various bugs so that I can finally use it to its full potential!

Excellent for a beginner painter. I’m new to painting and I purchased this app to help me identify color palettes. My favorite feature is the ability to import a photo and get a list of all of the colors from the image, that was exactly what I was looking for in an app. I’ve also been using the live camera to scan my mixed paints to see how accurate my mixtures are for my palette.

Tries to do 50 things. I'm actually not sure what the point of this app is. The first screenshot says "Find your hue," which it doesn't really let you do. It simply displays colors if you already happen to know the hex. OR it lets you use Apple's color picker to choose a color to then view the color. Thanks.. The other screenshot says "Pick your hue." This is also lackluster. Zero consideration for alpha transperency in images. Zero ability to zoom or even see at the pixel level which color I can pick. What the app can actually do: Convert values from RGB to CMYK. But it's the same amount of work as pasting a hex code into Google or Wolfram and zero additional benefit. Straight-up: It overpromises and under-delivers.

iPad yes but MacOS not very useful. This app works weil on the iPad but the MacOS version needs work. The detail windows are too small and if you try to close one the whole app disappears.

Crashes all of the time. It is not possible to close windows without the app crashing. Please fix this. This was a very useful app, but now it is unusable.

v1.0.8 fixes bugs. Developer has been adding features quickly, and offers a macOS app as well.

If you have color deficiency, keep shopping.. I just want to use the eyedrop to pick a color and have the app tell me it's green. This thing has the same functionality as numerous other color identifying apps. It gets you HEX, RGB, KGB, FBI and the whole alphabet. It just won't say "green".

Might be ok if…. It seems like it might be a good app, but without any instructions on how to use it, it is pretty worthless.

Love this app. They finally made the smart color picker I've been wanting for so long. Uncomplicated, gets out of the way, color selection looks great!

Fantastic App. One thing I would love to see added to this is to be able to export color pallets to Procreate or Photoshop. I think this would make the app sooooo important for painters / artist. Fantastic work btw. #edit I upped to 5 star! I tip my hat to you and happy I paid for this.

Beautiful app. Lovely app, does a great job and looks good doing it. My only request would be to be able to export palettes as a PAL (JASC) and or GPL (Gimp) which are quite universal formats so that I can open the palette in other programs without needing a desktop app like Sip to pick the colors from the palette I created here. Exporting aside it’s a well made app and well worth the couple of dollars!

Update coming?. Hi there - just wanted to check if there is a plan to continue updating and maintaining this app? Right now since the last couple iOS updates not all functionality for the app is working - I can’t create new colors or review the details of one’s I have saved.

Amazing app for hopeless designers. As an engineer who admits to being hopeless at design, this app rocks. I love the camera feature, which allows you to simply point your camera at a pleasing color, which is stored and named, with complementary palettes provided to you. If you’re terrible at design like me, you might want to check this app out!

Trouble with the color details. I don’t understand. When I choose the color, the name and information isn’t loading too fast, it’s loading too long. And when I copy the info, it only shows nothing, (excluding the Hex) like rgb (0, 0, 0), hsv(0, 0, 0), etc. Can you fix this, please? Thank you.

So Much Promise, Undelivered. Baffles me why this app is constantly so highly rated. It's nice that there's a "color picker" available across MacOS & iOS unlike all the MacOS-only alternatives, but it doesn't amount much if it doesn't work. The color picker tools on both platforms are a mess. Real-time selection on MacOS requires clicking on a toolbar button, then pressing command enter on the keyboard to sample the selection—at least it's supposed to, but that never works. Between the muddled UI metaphors, lack of real color/palette organizaing, and unreliable syncing, don't expect to get much out of this app if you sink your money into this. I did in the hopes of investing towards what would develop into a useful cross-platform color picker, all it's been so far is a great disappointment.

Simply Amazing!. Just getting into using Swift and was looking for a colour picker. Using this app is not o my a pleasure. But has now set a benchmark for how I want to build apps. Good job!!

Unique UI, Great Functionality, Charming Design. I’ve often had the need for a colour picker / way to sample colours quickly. Adobe Capture has this type of functionality but is tied in with multiple other features and Creative Cloud. Then along came Aurora. A no-fuss approach to colour picking with a fresh take on UI and top design. It’s fast, easy to use and provide a vast array of colour codes quickly. The suggested Pantone swatches is a great addition to. Brilliant!
