Accurate RGB measurement. Easy to use. But sending color swatch by email to MS Outlook does not transmit the color, while sending it to another iPhone does.
Suggestion: include option to turn on the LED flash so program can be independent of burnt light.
I am not really sure where ColorAssist is aimed. The live updating of colors using the camera is admittedly brilliant. There is some spatial averaging but it would be nice if there was also temporal averaging, otherwise you need a steady hand if you are trying to determine the color of something patterned. You can determine more than just the RGB code but if you want, say, the html code, you have to write it down or snap a picture and go to the cameral roll and read it off the saved photo. The only way to view saved colors, strangely, is in the edit mode (where you normally go to delete colors) and the only info available is the RGB color. I have no idea what the "lock/auto" buttons do. The website mentions something about organizing colors on the edit page but, besides deleting them, the only thing you can do is email them. That doesn't qualify as organizing to me.
Anyway, odd….
And "Target" allows you to touch any area of the screen to select that spot as the source for the color sample (in cases where moving the device would disrupt the focus/contrast, or where the device is mounted in a fixed position).
On the Options screen, select which color conversions to display, and set the spacial and temporal apertures from 1x1 to 50x50 pixels, and 1 to 30 frames.
