    In the screenshots it appears 'Generate Palette...' In the App itself it seems like it's missing. Toggling the 'Help' > 'Pikka Help' appears a window saying 'Help isn't available for Pikka.' Why have the button there if it's not doing anything?
  • Somewhat hard to use

    I'd bought and used dozens of color pickers before finally crowning Pikka "The One" as it fit my workflow perfectly for years. With its latest update, however, Pikka 4 is... fine. Pretty and usable, but it now feels a lot more like the other apps I left behind in favor of Pikka 2 (and 3) years ago. I do wish the developer had simply called this a new app, rather than using the same app ID to replace a perfectly functioning app on the App Store. I know change is inevitable, but sometimes it hurts. That said, if you tried past versions of Pikka and didn't find it fit your workflow, it may certainly be worth trying again now. If you loved its previous workflow, however, godspeed.
  • Excellent App

    Easy to use and excellent app that is part of my everyday workflow as a web developer.
  • New update is basically other app!

    The recent update to this design-focused app has significantly disrupted my workflow. Previously, I could seamlessly access essential features like color grabbing, checking, and browsing through convenient slide-out tabs. However, these functionalities have been abruptly removed, replaced by a cumbersome window-based system for color management. Even the menu bar icon has inexplicably changed. While I understand the potential need for a subscription model, I believe it could have been implemented without sacrificing the app's intuitive and efficient design. This update feels like a major step backward.
  • Simple idea, get color from anywhere!

    Splendid app! I love having this tool at my fingertips.
  • Buggy MacOS UI

    Mono, analogus, complementary, triad color pickers are nice. You have to click into your history to get to them. Library palette titles use random names and have multiple texts overlaid over them so its hard to read. Sliding panels and multiple dialogs make for a disconnected user experience making it hard to work on complex color palettes.
  • Avoid Pikka color picker.

    Pikka does an ok job as a color picker. However it also does something unsettling: the app is constantly communication with outside sources. I can see an occasional check to see if the app is up to date. But Pikka is trying to communicate at least every 5 seconds! I also have another color picker and it does not need to communicate at all with outside entities. What is Pikka doing? If you read their privacy policy you will discover that they willingly share information they gather from your computer with outside 3rd party companies. Until the Pikka developers give a complete and detailed accounting of what all the communication is about I would avoid the app. On the other hand, if you are ok with your private info being shared with whoever, Pikka will work well for you. ......Update 9/19/23: Hello Pikka spokesperson…thank you for representing Pikka. Let me address a few points: you say Pikka does not access my private info, nor does it share this data with third parties. Here is a direct quote from your privacy policy: “We collect the necessary data in order to provide you with our Application, as well as to improve the product. This data may contain certain personal information or personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you (“Personal Data”).” ….As to Pikka not sharing info with third parties, is it not true that you share info taken from the computers of people who purchase Pikka with the Microsoft Corporation? Your privacy policy says you do. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but your privacy policy does list the Microsoft Corporation as one of the third party companies you share data with. Is this not true? Finally, here are just four connections that I discovered Pikka making from my computer to the web: 1) appcenter.ms 2) revenuecat.com 3) apptelemetry.io 4) theapiscout.com I’m sure these must be legitimate, but why not remove all doubt and tell me, without vagueness, what these connections are doing? Thank you for your time. Hi Ruslan….thank you for the explanation of the four types of connections. Would you consider giving users the option to opt out of most of these connections. For example, 1) I don’t want Microsoft, or any of their tools near anything that’s happening on my Mac. 2) As to apptelemetry.io; I do not want this info gathered from my Mac. 3) And for theapiscout.com, I am not interested in the latest whats new. Others might want this type of interaction, so user options are best. Further, when developers provide the option to stop this gathering of info, users tend to be more trustful. Apple does this and it makes me think they can be trusted (ok, maybe?)…Here is the bottom line for me: you are asking me to trust you in terms of what’s happening. I’m thinking you are someone who can be trusted, but you should not put me in a position where I have to trust. Especially when other app developers of the same type of app (color pickers) do not gather any info. Until you can provide true proof of what’s happening (and I don’t think that is possible) or you give users the option to stop this gathering of info off my Mac, I can not recommend the app. ….By the way, other users are fine with this info gathering, and it is those users who are your customers - and there are lots of them out there.
