Pros and cons of iResistors app for iPhone and iPad

iResistors app good for

Touching the strips doesnt work, BUT sliding/swiping over them does! Great little app to have in your pocket if electronics is your thing.
I didnt really undestand it but it was fun to mess with the colors haha

Some bad moments

Pretty much a blatant rip-off (and a bad one, at that) with an -ors tacked on, but hey; it is free!
Too difficult to select colors. Should also work in reverse.
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 cant 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.
its 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
