User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★☆Gets the Job Done
A wonderfully handy little ap. I use it almost every time I get a new designer in my space. The color matching isn't always as close as I would like, but it certainly gets the job done. I do really miss Apollo. I would love love love to be able to compare Apollo colors and find matches.
Otherwise, I wonderful ap.
★★★★★Love the App!
This thing is amazing- no more shuffling around for a swatchbook in my bag . . . And now that it has apollo it's perfect!
★★★★★EXCELLENT!!
As a lighting professional, I am thrilled for this and the CXI application, truly a great utility to have in the field and on the go! Looking forward to more utilities such as this for the industry.
★★★★☆I like it.
Hey ToasterDog (yes, you know who this is!) I find this handy in many ways, but, yes, for theater one should always refer to a swatch book. However when you do jobs like I do, it can be a really useful tool. It's fast, it's accurate (but not to tungsten quality) and you don't need to run to the bus/hotel to get a swatch book. With hundreds of gels out there and limited time, this app can be a lifesaver. If you have 3 weeks to sit in a theater... carry swatch books.
★★★★★Idea for a later update
I had an interesting idea posed to me while showing off this app. With oldschool gel swatches, you can easily see what your set looks like with that color on it by just looking through the gel under the stage light.
What I'd like to see is a way to add a filter to the camera screen so you can see how the color looks on the set. I know the transmission won't be perfect, but it'd at least give the designer an idea of what to expect.
