How to Add the Copic® Colors iPhone Application

Have you ever been shopping at your favorite craft and hobby shop and decided that you'd like to expand your Copic® marker collection? This handy app lets you keep track of which colors you already have with the tap of a finger. Just by clicking on a labeled color tile, you can mark or unmark a color to match any color in the Copic® marker palette.

If you find this app useful, please consider a small domation. It will encourage me to keep up-to-date on future colors and other graphics-related apps. Thanks again.

Android Users! -- You can still use this application, just select your "Browser" icon, go to the URL in Step 1 (http://www.hyliston.net/iphone/copic), and then select "New Bookmark". In the future, you can use this bookmark to go to the Copic® Colors app, and it will remember your selections. You can ignore the rest of the steps that are iPhone-specific.

2012 colors have been added! -- Thank you for your support.

1. Navigate to the Application

You will see a screen like this.

You can try out the app here, but once you install it on your home screen, you will have more screen space to see all the options (especially the Earth tones).

At the bottom center of the screen, click on the bookmark icon ( Bookmark Page ) — or in some versions of Safari, this button looks like a plus sign ( Bookmark Page ). Either way, touch this button.

This is the last step! On the last screen, you will get a chance to name your new application.

The default name is "Copic Colors", which fits nicely on the home screen. You can, of course, change it to whatever you want.

Once you have a name you like, touch the "Add" button in the top right corner.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or questions, please email apps@hyliston.net. This application was written specifically for an iPhone 3G. It should work on an iPhone4+, but I was unable to test it, especially the Retina screen resolution change. In all likelihood, an installation like this is also possible with an Android phone. If you're able to install it, please let me know via email.
