ColorSnap® Visualizer for Negative User Reviews

Does not workI want to try out different colours for my doors and windows... Even if I go black or charcoal, it still looks white... I like the idea of this app, but it still needs a lot of work. Maybe it works better for a plain interior wall with nothing on it....Version: 7.31.0

Very slowVery slow and can’t find SW 3064 brutal with cupboards. have to tap screen 100 times.Version: 7.46.0

Not goodColours are not accurately represented on the screen - pretty much completely useless!!! What the heck, I’m angry.Version: 7.2.0

Not even close…I used my camera to color match. The app showed me beige and clay tones. The color I was matching was blue. Not even close..Version: 7.31.0

Can’t get it to paint.It’s great for matching what’s there to a colour in their paint chips. However I tried multiple ways and photos and couldn’t get it to paint on my photo..Version: 7.46.0

Useless for paint matchingI am a property manager and oversee renovations of apartment units. I bought the datacolor ColorReader EZ in order to match existing paint colors when we need to touch up the paint. We use Kelly-Moore and Benjamin-Moore paints exclusively. To test it out, I scanned a spot of a wall that had been freshly painted with Kelly-Moore Swiss Coffee. I was so disappointed that the device came up with five different readings of the same area of the wall under the same lighting conditions, none of which were even white much less the Swiss Coffee! This reader works somewhat if you’re looking for a paint color that works with an object, but NOT for the purpose of matching wall paint. I found out that my bedsheet color matched with Sherwin-Williams Butterscotch, which is useless info for me, but at least I know it works for *something*! Glad I can write off the cost as a business expense and that there’s no charge for using the app..Version: 7.12.0

Needs ImprovementSometimes I like this app, but it is often frustrating for me. Here are a few things that I wish could be fixed: 1) The eraser tool often doesn’t erase where I am selecting, or it erases more than I have selected. It is never accurate. 2) You can’t choose more than one color at a time. I wanted to see how a room would look with white trim and a particular paint color, but there is no way to do this. Whatever color you select, will paint the entire area. 3) The color I select very often doesn’t match the swatch. I was trying to paint a room with comfort gray, and it ended up looking white. So I don’t feel like I have been able to accurately see what the color will look like. 4) I really wish there was a way to select an area that you don’t want the paint to appear. Every single time I try to paint a wall, it paints the ceiling that color too. And, as stated above, using the eraser tool doesn’t always work..Version: 7.6.0

Doesn’t work easilyIt won’t let me separate out the body color to the trim color to an accent color. When I click on another color to color the trim or eves it paints the whole house that color. It’s also not easy to use on a phone. I really like that idea but the tools to paint should be easier to use, especially on a phone since that’s what most people would use it on. You should be able to drag your finger and paint where you would like, or draw out the lines and then hit the paint feature and it would tell her within those lines only. Then you should be able to click over and draw out new parameters and pick a different color and hit the paint to put the separate color in the designated space..Version: 7.44.0

UselessI tried several different functions, the shade of the paint seems to vary depending where in the app you look at it..Version: 7.4.3

Driving my crazyAll I want to do is paint the color of my front. I had the picture up and colors to try Had to shut down. Went back and again have to figure out how to get picture up I.Version: 7.7.0

Don’t waste your time with thisColours go on with a transparent wash unrealistic to any colour sampled. Perhaps their paint is so watered down that you need a minimum of 10 coats to get a solid colour? it does not help with choosing the right colour.Version: 7.39.0

No paint a sceneCamera made gray purple on my iphone.Version: 5.0.2

Not user friendlyVery hard to use. Slow, and the colours are very off. I don’t recommend..Version: 7.34.0

Colors “painted” don’t match…not even close!This app is difficult to use. It’s quirky how you find and select a picture to “paint” with a chosen paint color. Then once your past that hurdle, you select a color from the color library and tap to “paint” it on your picture. The color the app depicts on the photo is NOTHING like the color you just picked out. It appears to work ok for light colors but any dark color isn’t depicted correctly. I tried a dark green, a darker gray… I tried different pictures. It just doesn’t work. Such a bummer. Great idea very poorly executed - really disappointing.Version: 7.8.0

TerribleApp isn’t user friendly, it’s slow and the colors all look the same. The colors aren’t remotely close to real life either. Just a bad app..Version: 7.46.0

UseAwful to use.Version: 7.4.9

FrustratingApp doesn’t allow me to opt out of tracking. “Contact us” appears to use a purposely small font on a text heavy page so that you don’t complain about not being able to opt out. App offers a sign up to save relevant info but there is no link to sign up. Never actually got around to trying the app because of the frustration..Version: 7.30.0

Waste of timeI was really excited to try this app and find out the paint colour in my livingroom to buy touchup paint. No such luck. App couldn’t detect a surface despite a ton of natural light and additional light from lamps. Tried the “match colours from a photo” option and the app was only able to pick out really brightly coloured items like the metal on the fireplace. Not good for light or natural tones..Version: 7.26.0

Hard to useReally hard to import photo and import colour.Version: 7.4.6

Didn't work for meSo I painted a small area of Dhurrie Beige colour from Sherwin-Williams on the wall and then thought I'd try the Visualizer to see if it looked the same. The DB colour that the Visualizer gave me was much much lighter so I could not say that this would give an accurate vision of your room..Version: 6.0.0

Full of bugsMixes up colors you pick sealskin and it paints on white . Paints different colors than the ones you choose. Pretty bad app for a great concept.Version: 7.38.0

Its really badI try to use colors but its show nathing don’t download this app.Version: 7.3.0

Just an idea...Hey I get that this is free, but I also get that sherwin Williams has the money to properly develop an app. Maybe pick the brains of the devs that made Hyperspektiv, you need their edge detection script badly. Even in proper lighting with an easily detectable surface and edges, most of the time the color goes to random places, especially outside. I think this hardware is more than capable, like I said, work on the AR, this would be very helpful, as a professional painter, I cannot even try to use this app to show customers colors because it’s embarrassing to fail before a color is even picked lol..Version: 6.0.0

Doesn't workThis app does not work to test colors on pictures. The colors always come out super light and almost transparent. A deep red shows up as hot pink, navy blue shows up as baby blue, I even tried black and nothing showed up at all, literally it was like the wall was painted clear! If I could rate it zero stars, I would. Even if the colors worked halfway decent, the tools don't work as expected. Everything in the picture gets colored the same color, you can't test wall paint with trim, and if you're super unlucky everything in the picture will get "painted" except for the wall you're trying to test: the ceiling, the window panes, the leaves on plants, but not the actual wall. I have more luck using the edit tool in my phone photo album to color on the picture..Version: 7.4.4

Awkward interface & functionality…eventually it worksI’m a longtime design pro and specify SW most of the time. Navigating to access the tools I want to use is awkward, slow and frustrating. even though i log in as A&D, your site sends me all over the place before I can ever get to what I came to do, such as match a photo, order large samples, etc. Your site is too contractor and consumer-based and each session has me resubmitting my login credentials multiple times. I brought this up to my wonderful former A&D rep over 6 years ago and see no improvement. She understood these issues as I logged in right next to her to show her what I experience from user perspective. I experience the same frustrations whether I am on my MacBook, iPhone, IPad or Chrome or Safari browser..Version: 7.26.0

Paint a photo should be called paint a joke!I wanted to see what the 5 different teals I picked out would look like on my house. First they all were basically the same color the same even though they were very different shades (dark to light). The darker ones appeared to be lighter than the light ones?! Second that color appeared to me to baby blue... Also it when you pick a new color it NEVER automatically picks that new color it would always select an old color?!? It ALWAYS starts at red not where you left off so you have to scroll back to where you were... What’s the point in having a crappy app? Just get rid of it!.Version: 7.2.0

Much Needed AppI love the versatility of this app. You can paint walls from a picture, paint from the camera screen, take a picture to match colors, etc. Having said that, the app needs a lot of fine tuning, from color accuracy to defining color boundaries, to the ability to paint different walls different colors with ease. For example, well-bred brown is a gorgeous rich brown between milk chocolate to a dark chocolate. We have it in our home now. I tried applying it via images using the app to a couple of walls in a home I’m decorating now. This well-bred brown showed up as a very light grey, almost white, to a medium gray, depending on the wall. So between the inaccuracy of the color plus the differing colors, I’d suggest not relying on your mock up without rolling an actual sample color on your wall before deciding. Hopefully these and other issues will be resolved soon because the tool itself is very ingenious..Version: 7.4.10

Doesn’t workI have attempted several times to do the exterior Version of our house in Sherwin-Williams colors and it never uploads the photo. I have went to the Sherwin-Williams paint specialists and they indicated that that application does not work. They indicated you have to have an appointment with them and their specialist will produce a virtual picture for you, I did, but unfortunately she did not produce an exterior virtual picture of my house either. Very disappointing! I went with another paint company-they didn’t provide a virtual picture either but they didn’t say that they would..Version: 7.38.0

FrustratingI’m trying to see a colour on a pic I just took of my room, it doesn’t work and for some reason dusty rose keeps popping up in a living room pic that isn’t mine..Version: 7.12.0

Terrible programNothing works right seems like they rushed to release it.Version: 7.2.0

This is a parody app, right?Seriously this is a joke app, right? Even on an iPhone 13 pro max, it was totally unable to render color changes in any room in my house that I tried it. I’ve tried this with full afternoon sunlight as well as various shades and brightnesses of white with my 150w equivalent LED smart bulbs. I would be embarrassed to have my company’s name on this app. Furthermore, if you want to delete your account they require that you provide a ton of private information just so you can ask them to delete that information. That’s ridiculous. I was able to sign up in the app with my email and password, I should be able to delete my account by providing them my email and password in the account. They don’t need my private information to delete my account. They need my email address. So do yourself a favor, skip this app, this company clearly does not really care about functionality or your privacy. Makes me wonder if they care about producing a high-quality product. I will not be buying paint for my home remodel from a Sherwin-Williams store..Version: 7.46.0

Not easy to use!Hard to create color palettes and then be able to retrieve them! I created two different color palettes, I think, but now only one comes up! What happened to the other one? I see no list of palettes or of saved colors or anything! The only thing I really like so far is that I can pull up similar colors for comparison and the color strip to find lighter and darker shades of a color. That is helpful. And I like seeing it on the walls of a home, even though it's not mine. It gives me an idea how it would look in a room. I didn't really try using it to paint my walls. Couldn't figure that part out..Version: 7.3.0

TerriblePaint doesn’t match let alone can’t even download app.Version: 7.0.1

Simply doesn’t work.Absolutely doesn’t work at all..Version: 7.4.0

No “paint a scene”?!?It appears the “paint a scene” is not available everywhere. It’s what I downloaded the app for. It seems to be a great app for colour matching but that’s it from what I see.Version: 5.0.2

Least worst paint chip appI decided to go with SW paint because of the quality of the paint itself, and the app is better than others but still not great. I know any kind of color preview or matching is going to be a rough estimate at best, so I get paint chips as a baseline then use this app to see what’s close to that but with more blue undertones, for example. The palette function is very buggy, half the time it doesn’t save. I wish I could move around colors and see different things next to each other so that I can get a sense of what trim colors would work. I also wish I could just see a full screen swatch without half the screen taken up by their preview of what it would look like in a room. Minus one star for not supporting the HGTV color line from Lowe’s, which is the only place you can even hope to get a sample pot these days..Version: 7.16.0

TerribleThis has got to be the worst app ever! All I want is to do is match the paint on a wall to go buy some paint. Such a simple thing to do, yet this app can’t do it. It gets stuck halfway there. Then, you can’t move forward or backward..Version: 7.46.0

Great idea if it would work wellSo I love the idea of this app. So first the good. It allows you to pick colors off of a piece, virtual paint, gives you ideas of coordinating colors. But if you find something that you like, it is random if you can save it to your palette. It may save it as a new palette or it may not save at all. It does allow you to share an idea so you can screen capture it before you exit so that it is saved, but that means you have to put it all back in if you change something. Lose the bugs and I’d give it five stars..Version: 7.3.0

Okay to generate ideasThe colours are several shades brighter than when painted and palette editing is very painful. Having a way to calibrate paint colours to my phone is a necessity. (Yes, the app warns you to double check, but if you're going to offer "paint the room" AR style features, it's useless if it's inaccurate.).Version: 7.5.0

Terrible and incompetent app.This app is not accurate at all. My wall is Rosebud but it keeps on telling me that it’s beige even though my room is very well lit. It also keeps on telling me that the surface is unrecognizable..Version: 7.4.0

Colors aren’t even close!!!Worst app of its kind!! The colors I was using were not even close!! I chose a Dark green, but when I put it on the pic was a very very light green. I chose other colors to see if it was only what I chose, but they were all bad! Btw, once again, I understand colors won’t match exactly, however these were not even close!! Plus you had to sign up, give email, etc. was a pain, hard to use. I’m deleting this app. Home Depot & Benjamin Moore apps are excellent! It’s a shame because my husband insists sherwin Williams is the best paint, he always uses it. But I doubt we will use it this time. We have bought 3 quarts already & they haven’t matched their chips so I don’t want to spend more money trying to figure out what we want. Just my opinion..Version: 7.23.0

This tool doesn’t work if the space is already dark colorThere are several things I’d fix: 1. It’s really frustrating I can only choose 1 color at a time to paint an existing picture of my house, even though I have a paint pallete. If I choose a different color, it repainted everything with that new color. I can’t see how accents work with each other. 2. If I repaint the same picture several times, it starts to change the color to a whiter color than it was. It doesn’t seem to match the color I picked at all. I keep having to save my picture and reload it to get a deeper color of what I want(think of it as double coating) but this doesn’t work at all on a picture that has dark colors. Our house is deep red and I can’t get the light gray color I want to be represented without it still showing tons of red. I can’t get an accurate representation.Version: 7.4.3

Buggy and IneffectiveThe app struggles to “detect surfaces” to paint, even when the room is well lit. Colour projection is unreliable, sometimes making the colour appear much lighter than it is. Overall a terrible app that does not come close to accomplishing the task it set out to do..Version: 7.2.0

Work Needed - UI and Color AccuracyMy landlord and I tried using the app to help us choose colors for the whole house before going into the store. Disappointingly, we discovered the colors we saw on the app were SIGNIFICANTLY different than the actual colors in the store - even the clerk made a comment that the app is never accurate. Because I can’t trust the colors in the app, I feel like I would be wasting time by using any of the virtual visualizer features, which is a huge let down since they seem like they would be super helpful. The color pallet picker and saver is problematic too. There are a number of layers you have to get through to edit and save a pallet and since the “Save” button is under a “…” expandable menu, I intuitively clicked “Done” on the top menu bar thinking I was saving all my work, but that was wrong - no changes were saved. When I went back to edit the pallet again (to redo my changes and properly save my work) the removal changes would save but additions would not. So it’s getting there - it’s a great concept, but not useful yet..Version: 7.10.0

Needs workThe app is not intuitive; it helped to read reviews from others on how to use it. Best to select your color before taking pictures. But even then, the colors are far lighter in shade within the picture than on the selection. Browns look grey or blue. Prestige ColorPic app is far easier to use, but they also have a shade issue. Nice thing about that app, you can select from different paint manufactures. Also, I think it makes a difference on working with pictures between indoor/outdoor projects. But still the shading problem really makes these sorts of apps rather a waste of time..Version: 7.2.0

Keep SavingI really enjoyed the color snap option. I find it very helpful and easy to use. My low rating is because I took the time to paint the exterior of my house and had a pallet I was playing with. I swiped to my web browser for a bit to check on a color and when I returned all of my work was gone. Everything refreshed. I was moments away from saving my pallet once I finalized the last color in the set. I’m so disappointed. So much time invested went down the drain. I had gone back and forth to my photo album to reference saved colors and there was no issue then. Please fix it so the app continues to run in the background until closed out..Version: 7.8.0

Where’s « paint a scene » feature?“Paint a scene” as shown in the presentation video is not available in the current version. So disappointing!.Version: 5.0.2

Home Depot App is MUCH BETTER!I really wanted to like this app. I really needed this app as we were trying to find paint colors for the exterior of our house. But this app is not very user friendly. When reading the reviews I noticed that my complaints are the same ones that have been mentioned for a while and apparently it’s still not fixed. *You can’t choose more than one color at a time. This doesn’t work when trying to decide on trim colors and a color for the exterior of your house. *When I choose a color to look at it is NEVER the same color ON the house as it looks on the paint swatch. It’s always quite a bit lighter! Since I couldn’t get an accurate color on my house I decided to try the Home Depot App. And it’s so much better! I can see the actual color of the paint on my house. I even went into a SW store the other day and asked if they had a trick to using the app. They laughed and said they had all uninstalled it and never used it. They also said they had been telling SW that the app needed some work but it had not happened..Version: 7.8.0

I find it worthless.Want to have a real razzle-dazzle front entryway and have a few color combinations of mine. Every single color of choice was far different than it was supposed to be....for example, any shade of black is light gray! I generally have a terrible time visualizing so hoped this would’ve been a big help. Again - worthless. I wasted so much time and even went to a Sherwin-Williams store to see if they had a better handling of it but they did not. I even taught a couple of things to their most “knowledgeable“ employee about it. Do not waste the time and effort I put into it. I might have to go “old school by taking a photo of my entryway, printing multiple copies of it in black-and-white and then going to Michael’s to buy preferred color shades. To say this app needs tweaking is a gross understatement - I don’t even know why they would put it out there if their IT Dept. can’t come even close to their own paint colors! My search for a decent app resumes.….Version: 7.7.0

Pretty much useless (for what I’m looking for, anyway)I wanted to see how black paint would look on a wall in my house next to Alabaster. Tricorn black looks medium-dark grey (absolutely not black) and Alabaster looks like a bright white (which it is not).Version: 7.44.0

Dark ColorsDark colours are not accurately represented in visualizer. Tricorn black shows up as a medium gray..Version: 7.4.11

Not worth the time. Deleted.Was trying to check color choices for exterior of house. Tried to use it to paint from camera shot. It would say “Wall detected” then “Tap wall to paint “ or something. When I tap the wall it says something about undetermined surface and recommends I need to turn on more light. I was shooting at a large wall facing south on a sunny day. The wall was in direct sunlight. So I’m supposed to make it brighter than the sun can??? Fyi I also tried using their website version by uploading a photo. The user interface was ok and worked as expected -but- colors you get on the computer screen are not even close to same color chips, so that was a waste of time too. Just go get actual paint samples and try them out for real. Only way to make a good selection..Version: 7.4.0

Good concept but hard to use & missing product linesThe interface for uploading my camera photo and picking colors I wanted to experiment with worked pretty well, though the instruction is minimal. However, the color selection as far as I can tell is severely lacking— no ability to pick shades from the SuperDeck or WoodScapes lines if you’re trying to figure out your exterior colors. (This would be particularly helpful because you want to see how the colors look in both a daytime picture and a nighttime picture, if you plan on having outdoor entertainment, and with this app you can compare them at the same time.).Version: 7.4.3

Good concept, poor executionIt’s easy to navigate through, great that you can upload your own photo etc BUT the colours in the visualizer are NOTHING like the actual paint colour. Dark colours especially seem to come out really bright. When you compare it to their sample room photos with colours, you can see the visualizer for uploaded photos just doesn’t work..Version: 7.4.12

Way off...Don’t waste your time trying. Buying a new home and wanted to give this a try. I didn’t find the app confusing or complicated but it simply does not work. I picked a few colors and chose my photo to paint. The swatch colors were very pretty but when I tapped on the area of the photo I wanted painted, the color placed on the photo was NO WHERE NEAR the color of the swatch I chose. I chose a darker grey swatch and it painted the wall almost white! Every color I picked had the same result. Once you’ve painted something and pick a new color for a different wall, it paints EVERYTHING you just painted the same color. Surely these are easy fixes but I’ve seen the same exact complaints have been made for some time now with no resolutions. This has great potential but sadly falls very short..Version: 7.4.9

DeceivingFalse advertisement. If I would have read the reviews versus what was falsely advertised I wouldn’t have downloaded app. Bought a new house and wanted to see if the colors would look nice. No go! They have a preloaded picture for you to use instead of using a picture of your own room. Can’t even upload a photo of the room I want to paint to even get a better idea. Will continue to go with the old school route-get swatch colors of interest and put them up on a wall to narrow it done. Then get the sample paints of each and make a foolproof decision from that. This method never fails for me..Version: 4.7.5

On the right pathIt’s definitely on the right path to being successful. The color accuracy is just VERY different on my phone vs the actual paint chip color. I have an iPhone13, I just feel like the accuracy should be better. The paint a picture feature isn’t very easy to use. It has a hard time picking up light colored surfaces (ie my light tan kitchen cabinets). I also don’t like that you can’t paint multiple colors in one photo so see how they’d look together. In general the app could use some work to make the whole process more efficient and user friendly..Version: 7.32.0

Incredibly annoying lack of info on how to useI’m a highly educated, fairly smart person but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to use this damned app. I took a picture, found a color, and clicked yes to save my palette. Then I was taken to a screen that provided no information on what to do next. Anything I tapped made it go back to the previous screen. And of course there’s nobody available at the Sherwin-Williams customer non-service line to answer questions on the weekend when I imagine most people would be trying to use this app. Idiotic..Version: 7.46.0

Don’t waste your time!Colour’s are way off! Tried several different photos, several colours, and all were horrible..Version: 7.36.0

Exterior colors not availableTried to enter solid color stain codes and none could be found Eg SW 3037.Version: 7.12.0

SucksWow tried to see what colour I have and the app says it doesnt recognize it….. its blue!! Deleted this “app”.Version: 7.30.0

Is anyone reading these reviews?Most of these reviews do not have a response from the developer. There are legitimate issues that are not being addressed. When picking colors for the front of a house, the app has trouble separating doors and columns and bricks from each other and allowing you to use different colors on each section. This could be a fantastic app if anyone was paying attention and actually working to improve it. Sherwin-Williams is a huge company, and this app could be a loyalty builder. This should be important to someone in marketing. The app also needs better in app instructions. Also, all employees should be trained on the app..Version: 7.46.0

Worse app ever don’t waste your timeRead above doesn’t save your choices reverts to their choice or original picture..Version: 7.46.0

Hard to NavigateVery difficult to use on iPhone.Version: 7.12.0

AwfulSap wouldn’t even get a number Reading for me. It is advertised throughout the store yet no one in the store knows how to use it and claim that they can’t even download the app because they don’t have any Internet. The app doesn’t do anything you want to do it doesn’t let you put a collar in your room in your own room, you go through and save all the colors you want but it tells me you have nothing saved, and then it deletes things this app is a complete waste of time. By the way I never authorized face recognition and yet it won’t let me open the app until I give it face recognition unless that was somewhere hidden in your terms and conditions. It is an intrusion of privacy for you to have to have face recognition on a stupid paint app..Version: 7.37.0

Colours are wrongThis app does not work at all in the way intended. The paint colours come out completely wrong when you try it on your own photo. Useless!.Version: 7.4.9

Not user friendlyShould be as simple as pick a flour and “paint” your photo. I uploaded a pic of my house, found a paint colour and clicked on “paint.” Nothing happened..Version: 7.23.0

Pretty terrible so farI have only just got this app, but I’m already ultra annoyed with it. Every time I try to add a picture for color match or even to paint a room it “freezes”. Not in the sense that it stops working at all; I can select photos, go from album to album, but it will not proceed past that. I cannot cancel the action or select that I’m done. So I have to force close the app to try again with something different. I tried the virtual reality instead, but I think the room I’m looking at is too small and it will not recognize the wall. And if it does it makes everything the color I’m looking at, including my painting, etc. That’s not very helpful. And it doesn’t save my color choices in the VR mode. Anytime I move away from it I have to re-select everything I picked. Maybe I need to create an account? Haven’t gotten that far. The app prompted me to review, so I did. I hope it gets better.Version: 7.31.0

Horrible appAll the blues looked the exact same.Version: 7.4.0

App doesn’t workTried to select photo to paint. Immediate freeze. Deleted and reinstalled app. Tried to select photo. Screen freeze again..Version: 7.32.0

DisappointedI expected more. I downloaded the app for the “paint a room” feature, which is advertised in a way that makes it look really cool and helpful in picking colors. It doesn’t work at all. The color applied to the wall is no where close to the same color as the samples, it keeps losing my palette, the couple of times it has colored an area it colors the whole area - so you couldn’t use it to see different / accent colors, even if it was displaying the color I was picking… all in all, disappointed with the features I downloaded the app to use..Version: 7.23.0

A Tragedy of an AppHow is this app so SO bad? It’s by far the worst I’ve tried so far, and that’s really saying something. I tried to select the exterior of a bright tan house surrounded by blue sky and vibrant greenery. It should not be a problem to differentiate the areas in order to apply a bucket fill (the only option to try a paint out) to just the bright tan house. However, it paints everything the new color - sky, grass, EVERYTHING. The eraser tool is a farce. It randomly works and randomly doesn’t. The app also doesn’t sample the existing color you’re laying paint over, so where it does apply, the new color is completely changed by the underlying color. That’s a serious issue when trying to visualize COLOR. Sherwin Williams should have never launched this app. It’s embarrassingly awful..Version: 6.0.0

Color snapTerrible. App not easy. Hard to use. Uploaded a photo and cannot get the color to appear on walls. Ridicules..Version: 7.4.4

In app cameraBroad daylight and in app camera says need more light, not sure how to get more lighting other than the sun lol.Version: 7.4.8

It’s okay.I download this app every so often and then delete it shortly after because it’s functionality is difficult. You can’t zoom in during the live version so when you need to change the color of a wall, you risk tapping other things and it’s annoying. Also the color match feature is nice, but the color I see with my eyes in person is different on the phone. I get it, but I can’t trust that the color it matches will actually be the same as the real life color or matches the color the phone thinks it is..Version: 7.17.0

GlitchyDoes not allow selection of photos.Version: 7.32.0

Good conceptThe concept is great, but using a phone to try and paint a photo is not user friendly..Version: 7.38.0

Needs a lot of fixesVisualizer is very limited. You can only paint a single colour in a space and the app always paints random spots like the ceiling even when it’s defined. It needs a option to tape off areas and allow for other colours to be used. Example accent walls or trim. Behr app is more user friendly and allows for multiple colours in the same space..Version: 7.0.1

Sadly uselessVery poor computer generation of colour on walls. Makes little to no use of existing shadows in photos so that the result is totally unrealistic. It’s about as useful as if you printed a photo and poured sample paints over it except that the lighting in the photo does not correspond to the lighting of the poured paint. The user interface is very clumsy. The paint selections are not displayed in any convenient array. And they are incomplete: you have to search by colour name to find most paint colours. Using the limited selection they display, you have to scroll through the tabs for reds, oranges, etc to get to neutrals, for example, and if you scroll too fast it jumps back to the start. Colour recognition is very poor. I used photos taken of a room painted with a Sherwin-Williams paint. Holding the photos in my phone up to the room, the colours in the room were nearly exact. But the “match a photo” tool was way off in identifying the paint. And when I used the “paint a photo” tool to paint the wall in the actual Sherwin-Williams paint it was already painted, the result was hilariously different. I would say this app was a nice concept but utterly useless in practice unless you have no eye for colour and don’t notice the difference between bright yellow and pale cream..Version: 7.39.0

This app doesn’t workI was excited to use this app to see how colors would work for the exterior of my house. The app allows you to view coordinating color options, but does not allow you to use more than color. You can’t paint your picture with a main color and then paint a trim color because it changes the whole house to the trim color, completely taking the main color out. Also, the paint color choices are no where near the same color when you put it onto your picture. After trying the app, I looked at reviews and see that the same problems where reviewed 2 years ago and nothing has changed. I will be deleting the app from my phone..Version: 7.12.0
