Great app
Love it! But it would be AMAZING if I could load my own designs into the studio.

Okay app
Love the idea but everytime I try to link my Instagram account there’s always an error and it will fail to link it. Very frustrating.
2020-06-16
Really slow
Hard to use
2020-05-25
Hmmm this is taking a bit longer than expected
Is the only screen I ever see on an app I paid a considerable amount for. SO unimpressed.
2020-02-22
Convoluted and pointless for print
Can’t trust phone screen calibration to the point that color books in this app become pointless. Who would trust this app instead of the printed colors books?
And you want to charge me again for access to all the color swatches when I have already purchased the color books?
Yeah, I’ll pass.
And the style section was limited and unnecessarily complicated to use... But who really would use it that doesn’t already have photoshop?
2019-11-21
Frustrating
It always crashes. Impossible to use :(
2019-11-14
Bug-ridden, expensive, avoid.
This half-assed effort does Pantone a profound disservice. It was clearly rushed out far too soon and lacks any polish, to the extent that three times out of four opening it shows a spinner with the helpless message “somethings taking too long”. Once in, it’s hard to navigate, and many of the features hang, or end up stuck in sub-views that you have to terminate the app to get out of. The photos section just shows a permanent spinner. Trying to link it to an Apple ID or Google ID fails because the app itself lacks the authorisation to ask for either. It’s a Total quality disaster from start to finish, and asking fifty bucks for an annual subscription is, in the circumstances, a bad joke.

Don’t Bother
Difficult to use. No guide on how to use. Wasted my time downloading and now have to waste my time deleting.
2019-01-25
Difficult to understand, lack features
I was hoping to find a tool that would help with my workflow in terms of design, illustration and more. But the app is difficult to use, the subscription did not provide any unique features, and the it takes a lot of getting use to to really understand how to properly use the app. I would appreciate more customizability to fit my work flow, and more resources and references, the studio function is very useful for finding the right material but very limited.

Contact form fails like the App
Just updated to the latest version of the App. Now, the App crashes as soon as you search a Pantone number. Tried to contact support via their own reporting form and on an iPhone that too fails. There is no check box viewable or checkable on the form. The “I authorise Pantone to contact me by phone or email” is there but no box that can be checked, very frustrating. If you design an App for a mobile platform surely all facets of that App including reporting forms should at least work on that platform.

Great App But Not Opening
Love this app! However has not been loading opening on my phone all of yesterday and today so far ! I have tried everything I can think of and I need it for work . Quite disappointed with that because the app is so great!
2018-10-27
Not even loading
When it did load, it was not user-friendly and quite limited. Would love to live this app so hopefully the devs will improve it.
2018-09-26
Pantone Rock!
Best app ever - I use it heaps, I wish the books and swatches were cheaper to buy from the Pantone store, as I’m a designer, but can’t afford the swatches.
2018-08-05
App Crashes on startup
Cant open the app, it crashes immediately. iPhone 8 software is up to date. Poor effort Pantone!! 💩
2018-05-16
Not full access
Pantone appear to be borrowing some marketing tricks from Adobe. Free app that only has no real capability. To get ‘full access’ they want you to fork out $7 a month..that’s $84 a year or $420 over 5 years. Really..just buy a colour book.
2018-02-11
Pantone use
This an incredibly difficult app to use. There is no instructions on how to use it. I just wanted a Pantone colour analyser of the images on my camera roll. It does not offer this. It is not worth the high subscription cost. STOP PRIORITISING THE MONEY AND START THINKING ABOUT YOUR CLIENTS NEED!
2017-10-13
Hard to work App great concept tho
Navigation around app is really confusing. Some features I originally played with I can't find any longer!! Definitely not very intuitive and tutorial is hopeless, just 5 photos that say nothing. On the positive side, I do love the concept of the App and ill definitely use it for my art...if I don't give up on it from sheer frustration. I know what I want is there, but where?? Pricey subscription will see after a year if I'll actually renew..
2017-09-03
Fantastic
Use it all the time. It's great if i see an image and think, wow, those colors work really well. And five is enough. Occasionally i use a color picker as well if need be.
2017-08-06
Disappointing
This app is really poorly designed and not user friendly or intuitive. Only 5 colours allowed per colour palette which is not helpful when identifying colours from an image. I desperately wanted this app to be amazing but it's given me nothing but frustration at it's poor design.
2017-07-03
Cool concept, hard to understand app
This app is really hard to understand how to use, the tutorial says nothing. I can't even figure out how to link it to my instagram, I thought I would be able to analyse the images on my Insta to see what colours I post most often and maybe get a theme going but can't figure it out. It's a really cool concept though and I love the feature of taking photos and you can see it analysing the colours in live mode, but this should be the first thing you show people not hidden behind multiple tabs!!! Frustrating and a better tutorial would be useful instead I can tell all you want is to trick me into buying your subscription.

Thanks for restoring purchases & colour palettes!
So the original app that I paid $12 for has been replaced by an app that is practically useless unless I pay again for a subscription in order to access the full colour range. Plus, now I've lost all the colour palettes I'd saved and referred to regularly. I'd like the old app or my $12 back!
UPDATE: full access and saved palettes are back! Thanks for listening to your customers. I'm only withholding the 5th star because of the inconvenience caused by the previous "update".
2016-08-26
What the hell happened to the app I paid for?!
Paid a lot of money for this app, now it's asking me if I'd like to start m free trial. No thanks...just give me back the functions I paid for.
2016-08-20
Want to see CMYK/RGB please pay first
Want to check out CMYK, Please subscribe and pay $12.99. RGB please subscribe and pay $12.99, wait.......... Y is free!!!!!
2016-08-12
Cash grab
Changing from a one time payment (which was pretty excessive as apps go) to a subs model is a dirty thing to do. Way to bite the hand that feeds.
2016-08-11
Update DOESN'T restore purchases
So it seems after all the pressure and complaints Pantone has decided to give back access to all colours if you paid for the old (and not handicapped) version of the app.
However, the 'restore purchases' method does nothing. I still only have the minuscule selection of colours, therefore making the app completely useless.
It's like buying a keyboard, and a software upgrade removes half the keys. I don't want to subscribe to the rest of the alphabet!
2016-08-11
Thieves
Paid for the app . Now they want to go to a subscription Model. Well you can stick your app where there are no colours . Google does it for free.
2016-08-08
Hurts loyal users
Latest update has removed the colour books and is forcing us to buy again. Can't believe Pantone chose to do this.
2016-08-08
Rip Off
I've already paid for a full Verdion, and these rip off merchants have stolen my purchase. This must surely be verging on illegal. I will not pay a sickening amount of money each month to these thieves. Goodbye Pantone
2016-08-07
Rip Off
Free version pretty useless. Had prior paid version so feel let down that this has now moved to an expensive subscription model.
2016-08-06
Gougefest
Dreadful.
Must have got their business plan from Adobe.
2016-08-05
Awful Pantone Awful
Shocking that Pantone is now charging an absurd amount per mth for an app we already paid for. The non-subscription version is useless with only partial colors!!!
2016-08-04
Rip off!
Latest update is a total scam! Terrible situation for all the people who paid for an app they now can't use (unless they fork out more cash). 😡
2016-08-03
What a wraught
Completely unbelievable!! I purchased this app a year ago & decided to update just now. I have lost all the previous capabilities I originally purchased it for. Now I have to pay a monthly subscription!!!? I only use the app once or twice every 3 months. Worst update ever!!!! Infuriating!
2016-08-03
Absolutely Stunning New Design
Bold new design is a treat and functions very well. I can understand why previous users who paid full price app before it received this update can be outraged though.
Overall though this app is beautifully designed and is fairly easy to use. I'm not I can justify spending A$12.99 a month though. For browsing colours there really should be a one off fee.
2016-08-03
Absolutely disgusted
This update has left buyers completely stranded having to pay a ridiculous subscription fee to get the same information we received when we first purchased the app prior to this "update".
What an absolutely horrific idea to pull the rug from under loyal customers like this, I'm gutted that Pantone has demanded this price hike to get back the usability we once had with the original app.
Get it together guys, this is absolutely no way to treat your paying customers.
2016-08-03
This is unacceptable!
Dear Pantone Studio:
This app originally for design industry. Now, it's a just a pop app with social media link.
Not the best update I have to say!
You will create a lot of unhappy customers!!!
2016-08-03
Terrible.
So I pay for an app that's information dense, usefull, and usable and it gets replaced by something bloated with a confusing UI. But worse - now you want me to pay a subscription to regain the features I've already paid for? What's wrong with you people?
2016-08-03
Very Disappointed
- They have moved to an overpriced subscription model without warning
- This should have been a separate application and support for the old app removed
- Very disappointing
2016-08-02
Latest Version is NOT an improvement
Give me back my fan deck!
2016-08-02
It was better before
Colors were free before the new update, The basics are not even there unless payment is made? How about free basic colors, and one off payment for everything.
2016-08-02
Downgrade
Now I have to pay more? This is not good at all, at least have a full colour range of the basics for free.
2016-04-21
Can't open the app
Hi I have just spent $14.99 on your app which I can't even open. It simply closes before it even starts up. Can you please assist?
2015-04-04
Lacking in features
I use my PMS book to death as a designer, so I was excited to find a digital version. But, you can't save palettes larger than 5 swatches, or save and organise schemes into a useful library or to Pinterest which is where I already store all my color reference images. I don't really want to share colors to Facebook or Twitter! Extracting color from images is a poor feature too because it samples screen pixels with no option to deselect unwanted values. It needs a fuzzy slider or cluster selection option. For the price, this app is not great value for professional designers.
2013-05-30
Does not even open
Can someone please help me, this app opens for 2 seconds then closes down. What a shocker.
I've bought it can't even open it.
2013-02-26
Great!
Can carry all the Pantone swatch books in my pocket.
For this price I'm disappointed that this isn't a dual iPhone/iPad app, and indeed that this isn't even available in an iPad version.
It's pricey for what you get...
2013-02-01
Wow!
Wow! Fantastic app – well worth the $ :D
2012-06-14
Useless, dont buy it
This is pretty much useless, more of a gimmic thing aimed at designers for comparing swatch colours!
If your a Tradesperson steer clear and save your money. Im a Trade qualified printer of 25 years and got this thinking it would have all the current pantone ink mix's and use it as a pocket reference guide to PMS ink colour mix ingredients and percentages and it doesnt have any. It only has RGB and Lab percentages which is for PC moniter colour matching, all it is, is a fancy iluminated swatch book that you cant use for anything!!!!!!!!!! waste of ten bucks! DONT BUY IT!! Pantone- pick your game up! there isnt even a user guide in existence!
2012-05-08
Pantone, my new religion!
Simply brilliant app! Of course it's not perfectly color accurate but it has some sweet features. Little bit pricey though.
2011-12-28
App doesn't work
Unfortunately this app does not work. I was hopefully even after reading the negative reviews, but as soon as you click on fandeck you are locked into that screen and cannot push done or cancel. Something must have happened after January 11 when the bad reviews started flowing in. Don't waste your money.
