## COLORWAND Reviews in United States

### *---- "Useless"
After choosing a color, the color numbers and the color names are have NOTHING to do with the Lowe’s paint desk colors. I had to choose off the swatch in the store and picked a spontaneous color that was nothing like the app color I chose. Do not download.
-- Jack hungload, 2024-05-23

### *---- "App is completely useless."
I really can’t understand why the problems with this app haven’t been remedied, since it has had negative reviews for years. It is not helpful at all.  Maybe the app design team should check out apps from other paint companies and see why this app is overly complicated.
-- edoherty96, 2022-10-11

### *---- "Not User Friendly"
This app is neither user-friendly nor intuitive. It was so frustrating to use that I deleted it after about 3 minutes.
-- ms. valentine, 2022-02-20

### *---- "Unusable"
The biggest thing I use a paint app for is to get  a suggestion of coordinating colors - which this app appears to do by displaying a room with presumably the choice color and other attractive complementing hues splashed throughout the space. However, when selecting any of the colors, it doesn’t tell you what they are!  It only shows  them  as hex codes.  The scene it shows isn’t of your own space,  but an existing image from  Houzz that has similar colors but I doubt its using  actual choice colors from Valspar.  Since it doesn’t suggest the specific name of  similar colors that the scene is displaying, it’s moot. 

There’s also this odd prominent button to “connect to device” which I can only think is like if you had Alexa. I don’t see how that prominently displayed icon is more important than a button that doesn’t appear to exist that lets you upload a photo or paint a live scene using your camera.  I’m not going to download an app and sync Alexa to say “hey Alexa tell me a color I should use on this app that doesn’t work!” I’m going to take those steps I’d just Google it. Very confused as to what that is supposed to do or much of the app for that matters.

### *---- "An absolute dumpster fire"
This app is a hunk of junk. Zero functionality.
-- Airjosh23, 2020-08-13

### *---- "Not great"
Not all Valspar paint colors are available in this app. I was trying to use the app to build a color palette for my new home... switched out one color when I got to Lowe’s and now i can’t include that color in my palette for the rest of my planning. It’s a Valspar color... Lowe’s is still selling it... why isn’t it in here???
-- kaylag09, 2020-08-11

### *---- "Not intuitive"
This app is not easy to figure out how to use. It’s not very intuitive and you don’t have the ability to preview the color in a room. It’s also not easy to find different colors within the same color palate.
-- Butterflyt84, 2020-06-21

### *---- "Don’t waste your time."
Don’t bother. The Behr app is much simpler and has better features
-- sjcaej, 2020-02-09

### ***** "Perfect for me"
I don't understand all the complaints! This app did exactly what I wanted: I searched for the name of the color that's on my wall and then looked for other colors that are complimentary, lighter, etc. It's a perfect way to get started on my project! Of course the color on your screen isn't "true"--no screen can be, which is why you get a paint sample and put it on your wall. But if you need to compare colors, it's great. I especially love that it can compare across brand lines. Thanks!
-- hunterjen, 2020-01-02

### *---- "Colors on screen aren’t “true”"
This app didn’t help since the colors aren’t accurate to what they look like in real life. Also, there doesn’t seem to have a way to put a desired color on a pic of our room.
