What users say about Sip

psarmor
By psarmor on Apr 13 2024 for v.2.5.5

Value: 1.0

No significant updates despite switching to a subscription model. The subscription version wants to phone home constantly. Free and open source alternatives like System Color Picker do the job and are far more reliable.

Ease of use: 1.0

Simple to use when it is working. Unfortunately it becomes unusable when you happen to lose connection. You don't need to be connected just to figure out the color of a pixel.

Reliability: 1.0

Sip wants to phone home constantly to verify license registration. The app will revoke the license registration if it cannot connect (and I only have one machine). So if you happen to be offline, it stops working after a minute or two.

Since switching to a subscription model, Sip phones home constantly. If you are offline for a couple of minutes, it will reset the subscription license and you have to enter it again.

Why the app is decent, I am giving it two stars because not only is it a yearly subscription, but on top of that you have to pay on a per device basis. If it's subscription-based then make it for all devices, not just one. If it's device-based, then price based on device. Not BOTH!

This is subscription based! You must be totally out of your mind to use a subscription color picker. I think Sip left the MAS in 2019 or 2018. I received a mail and switched to Sip via Paddle. Today I received an email from Paddle that my Sip 2 will soon be billed to continue my subscription. I did not even know I had a subscription. Checked all my mails concerning the license I received when Sip moved away from MAS to Paddle. Not once I can see the word subscription. I am not using Sip anymore and found out I had to install the latest version to be able to cancel my subscription. I logged in to Paddle just to see I cannot do anything there. Of course I blocked Paddle now. It is very, very strange to have a subscription with a company and you cannot log in their website to manage your "subscription". This way "of doing business" only has one purpose, trick customers into a shady subscription deal. On their website you can only find the word subscription in their blog. Clicking on their pricing page (https://sipapp.io/pricing/) you will read you are entitled to one year of free updates. No mention of the word subscription automatic attempts form Paddle to pay the subscription you were not aware you were buying. This company is disgusting. By the way long before I found out before finding out before this subscription switched away from Sip as color picker.

The ultimate color picker and manger for mac , very easy to use and stunning design with very powerful and convenient tools . This application helped me manage and discover new colours for my projects and presentations, just drag and drop , the dock pallets is very reliable to get access when I need it . The developers also are very helpful and appreciate feedback . This is the most convenient color picker I ve ever come across .

The function to send palettes to others by email seems to be completely dead. It appears to send but nothing ever arrives and I contacted the developers about this over a year ago. No reply was received, so maybe they just don't like email. I tried the demo of version 2 and nothing seemed to work like before, so I uninstalled it and I'm going to look for an alternative.
