1. 5/5For Free? For Real!

   Everybody has their preferences when it comes to palette apps; and personally, I don’t want to see OTHER peoples palettes (OPP). Some apps do that, making it a socal feed of blah OPP; you have really no creative flexibility, let alone a way to organize your painstakingly created palettes efficiently. This app nails everything one would want in color palette creation and management; creating, saving, grouping, and quick access. It seems to utilize the backbone of iOS’s native files app to save your palette files, which is as good as it gets. I mean, the way you organize and save is entirely up to you- not a candy coated UI, and limit due to premium purchases. If you want to quick pull up a palette to view it as a portable swatch, boom! You can. It pops right up. And display the hex, rgb, hsb, & cymk value accordingly. The developer deserves more than a coffee. How bout a dinner 😉?

2. 5/5Sleek, practical, and best of all: free!

   Very easy to use and simple. No directions provided, no directions needed. You can create color palettes (if that’s your thing) or browse other people’s. One thing I’d change: I don’t see a shuffle button. It’s be pretty cool if you could randomly browse other popular palettes to help select themes for people who are as indecisive as myself. Other than that, perfect app. As soon as I saw it, I was literally amazed that such a clean, elegant, and modern app is 100% free. I don’t usually write reviews, but that last bit made me do it.

3. 5/5EXACTLY what I’ve been wanting

   I’m a hobbyist artist whose preferred style is using harmonious color groups (aka. pleasing-to-the-eye color palettes)! This app is perfect especially for one that’s completely free!!! I love playing around with the colors and making palettes from scratch as a downtime, and this app provides all the tools you need, including a really easy to use eyedrop tool. The only suggestion would be to have a way to organize your palettes further (subfolders/categories you can customize). As it is now, it’s still really awesome! Having a way to organize my palettes even more would be a cherry on top since the way they’re laid out can affect how you choose to use them. Overall, 5/5!

4. 4/5Gets frustrating after enough palettes

   Overall, pocket palette’s been pretty great—picking colours is easy with all the options you have to do so, the range in palette sizes is awesome, and I love how it can calculate the perfect colours for your palette if you’re struggling to find one. But I need to make a lot of palettes, and after enough, organising palettes is impossible if you didn’t make them deliberately in the right order. I try to move a palette up or down by one tick, and the whole app has a brain aneurism and throws the palette all the way to the bottom or top of my list. Some easier way to scroll through the palettes with one in hand—maybe even folders—would be super helpful here

5. 5/5UI is clean, fast, and responsive

   This developer clearly has a knack for design. This app is really quick and easy to use, and it surfaces the information you want quickly. I was looking for an app that would help me design palettes based on some of the standard color scheme formulas (like Neutral, Analogous, Clash, Triadic, etc.) and would like to see this added, preferably with a visualization of the relationship between the colors shown on one of those circular color diagrams. I'm sure there are other apps out there that already do this, but this dev prioritizes fluidity of experience to a greater extent than most, so I'll keep it on my phone and see what comes out in later versions.
