ColorSmart by BEHR Mobile 4+

Fantastic idea where I can see how paint colors look in different types of rooms. The big problem is the colors don’t match the paint names. They do provide a pop-up warning say colors may not match, but that is a poor excuse for not being able to get the correct hex number for the color. I bought gallons of paint, and now that the paint is dried on the walls it doesn’t match the colors expected based on looking at the app. Eg. “Chain Reaction” shows up as a light gray on the app but in reality it is a light blue. I would use the app again for contrasting colors, but definitely not buy any paint until I see the swatches as well.

This new version takes so many more steps to try to see a color in a mock up of a room! It was much, much easier in the project color app to find colors, with full size pictures , not a smaller than an inch peek at the color on one side with even smaller color palette colors on the side. It was infinitely more helpful to see an example of a room with the paint color than selecting a color, then a room category , then a room, THEN touching on it to color the wall. The old one made it easier, with much bigger swatches, to see different shades of the selected color & coordinating colors.
This is the first review I have ever done over 15 years of using iphine apps, that's how awful , cumbersome, & time consuming this one is!

So far, I like using the app. However, there doesn’t seem to be a way to create an account and login so that content can be accessed from different devices. I prefer to create projects and plan on my tablet at home due to the bigger screen. However, I would need to access those projects from my phone when not at home. Otherwise it’s kind of useless for me. I felt like I had wasted my time when I created my first two projects in the iPad app, only to realize I couldn’t access them from the iPhone app.

Please fix this, and the app will be much more useful!
