Anybody get this? How have you used it? Verdict? $15 well spent?

I got one. Didn't work great for me. I used it with my iphone XS a few times and never got close to what I would say the color was. Good idea, but the outcome not so much.

Gotta have the actual books, we just got two. I don't trust my phone or tablet, or desktop, and tell everyone the same.

I only trust what I see in the can and then it might not look the same once printed on different color garments, I tell people I'll get it as close as possible unless you have a pm number and we order the mix, to much color shifting from screen to screen

Of course, but I'm pretty sure my customers aren't using calibrated monitors with controlled ambient light. It always seemed like something to do here, but the customers couldn't reciprocate, kind of like I have book and they don't...
