Always disconnects because of something with this app. I close app and device is discoverable, I start app and maybe get one scan then device is magically undiscoverable and unresponsive until I close the app. Always throwing a 9900 scan error as well.

Beware of subscriptions!!! Device is neat but app is horrible. Stopped working on Pixel phone (tried 2 different phones). Got it to work on a tablet but the $150 subscription for Pantone wouldn't work. Developer wouldn't help and Google is refusing a refund. Do not purchase anything in app or you will be sorry.

This makes color matching way easier and more precise than going to the paint store because you can figure out the actual paint color that was used. I just wish it had the ability to search for specific colors by name for comparison, which I didn't see
