Ho ho ho! This is my early Christmas present to you. If you like this version of Coloresque, please reward it with a short review in the App Store. Thank you!! :)
*** COLOR PICKER ***
Add a color to your favorites that you have picked from an image. Just select any photo or screenshot from your camera roll and tap on the area of which you would like to find out the color. Tapping and holding reveals a magnifier so you can pick colors more precisely. (see "Add Favorites")
*** MOST VIEWED ***
Coloresque identifies which colors you view most often and emphasizes them on top of your list of favorites. This works for the list of all your favorites and for individual hues. If the feature doesn't show up, you might have not added enough colors or didn't view them often enough to create a meaningful ranking. This feature can show up to 8 colors on iPads as well as on iPhones.
*** OTHERS ***
The schemes now show arrows that indicate if you can scroll further left or right.
Last but not least: Countless bug fixes and performance improvement to make the user experience more swift and pleasant (fun fact: this is not just a phrase, it actually happens)
