PANTONE Studio App Reviews

Why would they say it works for ipad? As a designer i expect good quality in stuff... Not a zoom in option! For freaking 10 dlls it should work better. Im so upset about this that I dont even want to go through it.

We need it for ipad retina display

Great app. I love being able thave access to all the selectors not just the ones I own , Ive been wanting the pastel/neon tool and now i have access to these new colors. Its not accurate for actual matching - but its like sketching with a pencil Its close but needs a final version. II wish there would be a way to order the chips I select from the app. Now-That would be cool.

If you search for a particular color, you should be able to drag that to your palette without having to search for it in the fanbook. It would be nice to be able to have more than 5 colors in a palette. Otherwise, its a great tool, I love that I can carry it around in my phone!

This must be one of the least robust designer tools on the market. With a seriously steep price tag and a void of useful features, this app is pretty worthless. (Really? I can only have 5 colors in a palette? It wont tell me the CMYK make up of anything - including process colors? I cant make a "master" palette and then smaller combos within that...) Not at all helpful for this designer; what a waste.

I love this app. Id really like to have a version that I dont have to run pixelated. Please, please, please make a version for the iPad.

This app allows me to carry around any Pantone palate wherever my job may take me. Although, colors are obviously going to look different on a RGB screen you at least have a general idea and the Pantone swatch number while on the go situations.

I should have listened to the reviews. Id like a REFUND!

The titles said it all

Needs an update for the iPhone 5!

2 simple things you could do to make this hugely more effective: -make this a universal app so it looks good on both the iPhone and iPad. -give the color breakdowns for the PMS colors. I want to see what each color is built from, just like in the books. I need to know how the color is built to know how it will react on a sheet. For instance... How much reflex blue is in a color (cause to much can make a color tail real easily when densities are pushed). A nerdy thing I know, but who else but serious color experts are paying $9.99 for a Pantone app.

A total waste of money. The colors extracted from images taken are not accurate - at all! Pale yellow is extracted as grey. Perhaps this could be addressed with calibration, but how to do this is not obvious. The app seems to have some functional problems. One the keyboard appeared with no way to dismiss.

THE GOOD: Useful for referencing fandecks on the go. THE BAD: No updates. This app is not entirely user friendly, needs heavy improvement. I purchased about 2 years ago. In 2 years not much has changed. THE UGLY: When, oh when, will it be reformatted to fit the iPad screen? That is my absolute biggest gripe! 2x zoom is tolerable for small time apps, but Pantone Mega House... Unacceptable! A $10.00 app should perform like a $10.00 app. Please improve or at least provide partial refunds.

Its very helpful.. If you dim your iPhone brightness a bit the colors on the iPhone actually match the real color books!! It needs to be updated for iPhone 5.. Also, you should consider making this an iPad app too.

Its extremely difficult to point at a color according to the Pantone number! We should be able to select a Pantone number (example 647c) and get it displayed.

Very handy. Could use the ink mixing formulas though.

I really liked this app but it only worked for a few days and then it started crashing as soon as I opened it. I keep hoping the will fix it but so far nothing.

Havent gotten to use the app. It wont open.

Bought the app and is not working at all, the only thing that comes to the screen is a disclaimer notice and a push notification banner... Must update this app, spent $10 bucks and will ask for my money back at iTunes... Just rated it with one start because I guess when submitting a review they want me to rated it, and in my opinion no star

Had been using it for a year by now and Im very happy with it, an actual physical fan deck its quite expensive, and with this app I have several of them.
