Gets frustrating after enough palettes
10/31/2020

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

In the latest update, the UI has been completely reworked and palette organization has been improved a lot. Consider adding that extra star to your review if it works to your liking. ⭐️Thanks for the feedback!

This does it all!!!

I was looking for an app that allowed color picking and pallet making. I downloaded this and used it and not only did it do what I expected but it offered more!!!! If you are putting together a pallet after the first two colors this app will offer suggestions for the next coordinating color. You can save your favorites, to the app or your own files. You can alter suggested pallets. You can pinpoint a spot on a picture and find that exact color and the color is given in three different formats maybe more but I only use HEX. And it is SIMPLE to use and has a back button if you goofed up. I had downloaded three other apps to try…..nope I deleted them after playing around with this one today. Thank you developer, my worry is no more and I can easily get creative now!

Just what I needed!

I love how simple this app is, and yet has just what I have been needing to keep track of my design pallets. And I really appreciate how responsive the developer has been in it’s evolution. In future updates, I would love to see a feature that gives us the ability to create a new folder while in the color picking mode, or the sample mode. While creating a pallet for a project, I often happen upon a random pallet that I really like, but that is not right for the current project. I would love to be able to keep it for future reference and then continue on with the project. As it stands right now, it looks like you have to create a folder ahead of time. I would love to be able to create folders on the fly while in the color picker. Just a suggestion!

UI 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.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I hope you enjoy the latest UI updates!No color scheme formulas yet. When I have the time and the right design in mind, I would love to do it!
