Came, set and match
Brilliant and convenient way to match, compliment and discover colours. If it prevents a "it's not quite right" moment then it's worth it's cost many times over. A quick Google can also convert it to a Crown device with their full pallet of needed

Limited value to assess paint in UK
I bought it to measure the colour values of a range of picturebframing materials which it did fine.I thought it a shame that the ranges of paint manufacturers recognised was quite limited excluding many popular brands in the UK- Dulux, Crown and others while Farrow and Ball were the only one I recognised.Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Very disappointing
Unfortunately this device just doesn't work as advertised, actually, not even close to getting the colours correct the majority of the time.I tested it against known F & B colours and out of 12 attempts on various colours of matt (multiple reads on the same areas), it got it correct once although even that was the third choice. The rest of the time it was way off.Then there was the satin - not even close. Not even the correct colours! It was suggesting grey when the paint was deep green, blue when it was light green, black when it was grey (multiple reads).Second actual test against known colours and it stopped calibrating entirely either from the app or on the device itself. Just glad it happened so soon after I'd bought it so I could send it back. Very disappointed.

Limited function and access to paints sold in UK.
There is a choice of Europe or US registration and paints shown are very limited in the UK.To get direct access to certain brands fan decks, a different licensed version will be necessary.The device does feel a bit locked down due to licensing agreements but scanning does work well and data can be taken and used in a browser for in-depth colour research.

Good product
Great product if you need to scan F&B paints in UK. If you need specify other paints, then you need to buy for the software that's coming with the app.
