Pantone Connect

I tried to use this today for the first time on an iPhone 12. It requires logging in to use the app in any capacity. I signed up, but was unable to login - not on wifi, not on cellular. No vpns were active. I wish they’d delist their apps that cannot work. I think it’s worse for a brand to keep something published that cannot work for anyone than to leave it up. It’s got ghost town vibes, and Pantone as a company is very much still around.

Unable to scroll up or down in any of the color sections. Worked fine last week now suddenly this annoying bug.

It seems that a drag and drop feature was added which is great but I can’t scroll because it thinks everything I touch, I have to drag a drop. There needs to be some sort of differentiation so the app knows I want to scroll vs drag and drop. It’s a horrible user experience. The app has no idea what I’m trying to do.

It’s not working on iPhone 13.

The user experience is very bad and I can’t even login. The time and effort required to login is just insane. Not recommended at all

I can’t sign in

cant even sign in to use the app, it crashes 🥲

I color correct images and materials for artwork. I’d hoped this app would speed up my workflow and increase my accuracy when matching materials to their Pantone equivalents. I purchased the color card and measured a few samples under 5K lighting with my iPhone 13 Pro—the results were way off. I guess there is reason that this app isn’t being updated to support newer devices. Not recommended.

Poorly implemented, often offline or hard to login to. Equivalent plug-ins for the Adobe apps are equally bad. On top of that, zero customer support via chat or phone. Email is an option, if you can wait a day or two for a reply. Zero competition generates poor quality.

It’s pretty terrible that a company would sell you a product that you now can’t use because they are either too lazy or don’t have the money to keep this app compatible with new devices.
