Pros and cons of aidColors app for iPhone and iPad
aidColors app good for
Does exactly what I need it to do. Take a photo, know what color youre looking at.
Great, simple and accurate color identification app. Certainly recommend this app! Note: no color ID is accurate, but this one comes rather close, especially when stacked against the dedicated color identifiers.
I have a hard time getting the color scan result in accessibility mode. Once it makes the camera shutter sound and then burbles a couple of times, I have to go looking for the color report. Running my fat little fingers around the screen sure gets me a lot of noise too. My little suggestion would be to make ninety per cent of the screen a "get color" button and just plain read the color result out loud when in accessibility mode.
Some bad moments
I installed to see if this app could be useful for a visual impaired friend. Since my friend became visual impaired after a medical accident, being able to hear the colors of the things she was going to wear was a great idea for such an independent woman. However, the app once launched just keep "processing" and doesnt capture the picture.
I tried by resetting the iPhone and it worked the first time the app was launched. What it does it that once you launched it and tap on the screen it takes a picture and "analyze" the color of the picture.
After the first picture it didnt work.
Please update it, is a good idea that could be useful.
Dont waist your time. Not accurate at all. One of those apps that makes you wonder why Apple lets them rip people off with no refund. If you try to go to the support page -> good luck! Page not found!!
