Following some info I received a day or two ago, I tried
two colour identifiers from the App Store which someone
on another list thought were very good value for nothing.
They were ColourFinder, and Color ID. In actual fact,
while they work in real time with the phone's camera,
they were crap. It was absolutely hysterical to just
point the phone at my lilac jumper, blue jeans, or
Martin's silver grey sweat-shirt or black trousers, and
have an American voice go through all sorts of
permutations of what it thought it was recognising. At
one point, it told Martin something he was wearing was a
martini colour, and he cracked me up by saying it was
trying to guess his name rather than the colour of his
clothes.
Great for a complete laugh, but certainly no way worth
cluttering up your device, so I removed them, and am glad
they were freebees. If you get a bit of free time, or
want a laugh, some of those apps really do take the
biscuit, and it proves there is junk out there as well as
some really useful stuff. The only thing I would say
about these two apps was that it was clever how the
camera of your phone just took off when you opened either
app, and tried recognising your colours live as you moved
it about. I wish there was a really good one that could
do that. But these two? Definitely no no no!! (smile).
