iResistors Reviews

Too difficult to select colors. Should also work in reverse.

Pretty much a blatant rip-off (and a bad one, at that) with an '-ors' tacked on, but hey; it is free!

Instructions are to swipe the band to change the value/color. You can move your finger less than 1/4 of an inch, and cycle through ALL possible colors - VERY difficult to select the color you want. I can't imagine it would be that difficult to make the swipe less sensitive - and no compelling reason to use a swipe beyond the "gimmick" factor in my opinion.

Fix that, and it becomes at least somewhat useful - would also be good to have the ability to put in a value, and have it show you the resulting color code. Again - great idea, and I was excited when I found it, but am taking others advice and getting "iResist" instead.

it's definately hard to select the color I think they should of had some sort of scroll down menu if you just tap on the band

Two fixes that would benefit iResistors are 1) less sensitive color bands. Perhaps a scroll list (drop-down) as 1 reviewer mentioned. Also, 2) make the colors solid. The graphic in the background is nice, but with the translucent color bands, can be a bit detracting. Overall, though, very useful.

I appreciate the free part. It's a little difficult to select the bands. I seem to pass them up quickly, one swipe may pass by three bands. Would be 5 star if that was fixed and if there was a number input which would change the colors automatically. Great start though. Thank You
