## Color Muse Reviews in United States

### ***-- "App was working great until recent update"
Prior to installing a new update this week this app was great, functional,  and did everything I needed to. Now when I’m scanning a color, the force closes the app and it’s useless.
-- macmova, 2024-01-25

### *---- "New software broke my muse"
I was happy with my color muse but hadn’t used it in a few months so my iPhone archived the app.  When I went to use it, it downloaded an update I guess and it won’t connect.
-- tomdfw1, 2023-06-30

### ****- "Easier compare would be nice"
I bought the Pantone subscriotion. My usage will be in printing, where colors are specified by pantone number. It woukd be great if i could simply type in the target pantone number, do a scan, and get a delta E. Having to scan a color fan doubles the work and makes it necessary to carry a fan around with me.   Perhaps this feature is present, but i could not find it.
-- TK34567, 2023-06-21

### **--- "Numbers do not change when I’m advanced mode."
As of newest update. The numbers do not change in comparison mode under advanced mode. If another color is selected the numbers won’t change until you go back to basic and then back to advanced. Everything saved in comparison is wrong due to this issue.
-- iPhone bad A, 2022-07-05

### *---- "The app won’t let me log in"
I only use this app 3-4 times a year and I have never had a problem before but I just tried to log in and it won’t let me. When I click the “continue without logging in” option a different error message comes up.
-- pizzasocks, 2022-07-05

### ****- "App crashes when I click on coordinating color"
I love this app besides the crash I experience after I scan a color, then click coordinating colors, select a color scheme, and then try to click the suggested color.
-- Fauxvirho, 2022-04-06

### ***** "App works great...but"
There is only the option to compare colors that you have scanned with your color muse device. I have scanned one color and am trying to match it in another brand. I don’t have the option to do that. Please consider modifying the compare color option to include non-scanned colors in the color comparison field.
-- Guitarbanae, 2021-03-08

### ****- "Now requires account to function"
So much functionality removed to force us to have an account.
-- eaykb, 2021-02-25

### *---- "Absurd."
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??
-- Radar1234, 2021-01-16

### ***-- "Very handy, but"
The ability to save the scanned color instead of just the paint matches would be very useful.
-- Rdyornot, 2021-01-12

### ***** "Just needs Apple Watch App"
Works phenomenally! Just needs an Apple Watch App which would allow me to log colors on the job site even faster.
-- Flight Fan, 2021-01-02

### ***-- "Not super accurate"
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.
-- Justicegirl01, 2020-11-05

### *---- "Horrible update"
Everything was great until the new update. I do not like it all. Too complicated
-- Rigsmas, 2020-09-29

### ***** "Nice app"
Nice app, nice features.
-- SweetSolitude98, 2020-09-17

### ***-- "Account creation now required to see history"
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.
-- dh868, 2020-09-13

### ***-- "Cool little unit"
I like the compare function a lot.  I like how it breaks the two comparison colors down to lab, lch, rgb, &amp; cmyk.

I just wish that they added a graphic arts function.
-- rickatolla, 2020-09-08

### ***** "Pantone!!"
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.
-- Pbraff, 2020-09-04

### ****- "Useful"
Use go matching paint at work.
-- xxxcandy, 2020-04-27

### **--- "Tries hard. And fails"
I bought this for the usual application: find suitable paint at the paint store to match my walls. But every part of the wall i tested came back with a different result?! And where i previously tried to color-match by eye (and failed visibly) the app reported that only a super-human would spot a difference. I beg to differ. Will be returning the gadget with disappointment.
-- Very_clever_nickname_goes_HERE, 2019-11-28

### ****- "Super helpful! Need PMS colors, too!!"
I work in interior design, and so I need to pull a paint color from something random a lot. A LOT. This lil tool + app is a lifesaver!

One request: it would be incredibly helpful to pull the PMS (Pantone Matching System) colors from a scan. It would make working with graphic designers much easier!!
