myPANTONE™ X-Ref App Reviews

I purchased the app specifically so I could find the closest match to an RGB value. Though the description says it will do this, it would only take CMYK as input. (Update: based on screenshots it appears there is a selection for RGB at the bottom of the screen, but on my iPhone 5 I am unable to see those buttons, which means I am stuck with the default CMYK sliders) User interface is difficult. On the flip side, if you have a Pantone number it will give you an RGB value. That is useful too, unfortunately not what I needed when I bought it.

Ive used this app a ton and I really like it, although it wont open now with the iOS 8 update on my iPhone 5. Please fix! Ive tried everything

Crashes every time I open it. Never got to use it. The idea of this app seemed good, too bad it wont open.

App will not load with new Apple operating system. Now performed 2 system upgrades and no fixes from x-ref.

Bought the app, never been able to use it as it wont open. Waste of money.

No stars.

This app does not open on my iPhone plus, do not purchase until that is fixed, which looks like it will be a while with the last update happening over 4 years ago. Come on, Pantone, seriously. Designers need tools like this.

Was hoping this would help map between old-school PMS and new-fangled PMS+. But that would just make way too much sense.

Used the app to convert, and it gave me colors that no longer exist. Web version alternative did the same conversion with up to date color library codes. It also asks to download an additional color calibration app that requires calibration hardware. Use the Pantone website to convert colors.

Was hoping it would allow you to enter cmyk values and a particular swatch book to find the closest match. I realize that having it come back with the closest from all the books is probably useful to most ... I am limited to the books I can view. Just thought an option to choose the reference book and select your color independently was the point. Or Im missing something ... Which is easy since theres absolutely no help within the app.
