Aurora: Color Picker

Awesome app with great design and powerful functionality. Although it crashes when I try to create or delete new colour palette folder which makes app almost useless (iPhone X, 13.6). Picking colour from image is a bit laggy but ok in general. Also there is a left tab bar button with a snowflake and tornado on the first screen that I failed to understood. Hope these issues will be resolved in the nearest updates!

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
