Aurora: Color Picker for Negative User Reviews

✓ So Much Promise, UndeliveredBaffles 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..ThechexicanVersion: 1.3.6

✓ 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..Bergy & The WerewolvesVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Great Concept, but very buggySolid 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!.GaradosVersion: 1.4.1

✓ 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"..Renn OrennVersion: 1.4.1

✓ HorrauraWithin two minutes of downloading, this application was nagging me for a review… It might have been better for the developer if I'd acquiesced; while I was impressed with it initially, using it for five minutes revelaed it to be buggy and crash-prone. Clicking one of the buttons – I think the 'details tab' button on the main interface (I was so new to it that I hadn't even oriented) – casued it to hang with a 'Fetching details…' spinner. Closing the 'details' window reliably crashed the app, every time, as did quiting Terminal when I attempted to reopen from Apple's 'Crash' dialogue. Not worth the space on my HD, let alone £2.49; deleted..Kolin Kelly's BrickVersion: 1.4.1

✓ 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..Sort of oldVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Had high hopesI 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..HarkTheoryVersion: 1.1.7

✓ Crashes all of the timeIt is not possible to close windows without the app crashing. Please fix this. This was a very useful app, but now it is unusable..David IngaVersion: 1.4.1

✓ IPad yes but MacOS not very usefulThis 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..PattiHarringtonVersion: 1.4.1

✓ Tries to do 50 thingsI'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..Cooked NickVersion: 1.3.6

✓ New ownersI 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..Mister GoshVersion: 1.4.1
