Used to be 5 stars

I remember this being a good app when I tried it a few years ago. Now it has an immediate ‘subscribe ($$/month) or quit’ message even though the description still says it takes ‘donations’. I understand the author needs to make money and (presumably) spends time updating the paint lists, etc. but I personally HATE subscription apps (or any sort of ‘evergreen’ payment) and will only use one if there is no other choice AND there is a solid reason it has to be a subscription. For this kind of app, I’d be happy buying a new version every few years but not a subscription.

Great Utility

Use this app to track my model stash as well as paint and other supplies. Functionality is good and well worth the small amount charged.

Requires Sign in with Apple

After a recent update the app won’t work unless you Sign in with Apple and share your email address and personal information. Not worth it

Model type image

Fantastic app it’s taken a few hours to log all my stuff. Is there any chance instead of having an image of an image of an aircraft could you add additional images like a tank, helicopter, truck, car, motorcycle I think would the icing on the cake on what already is a fantastic app.

Great app, worth using but now requires subscription

I understand that you need to make money for hard work and time, but to not use the app for an extended period and come back to it and have a message telling me I need to subscribe to the application or delete my information off of it. That’s pretty crummy. I used the app to help keep track of colors and model colors and I put a lot of time into it, I put time into writing some mixes and colors and now that’s all gone. What’s the point of subscribing now if everything is deleted.

There should atleast be a “free with ads” model of the application and the paid “ad-feee” version.

It’s a good app, don’t get me wrong, but I will not be partaking in the application at this moment. I’m very disappointed and discouraged. There at-least could have been an update warning or a notification of change. I understand that the owner can change and charge at will, but for the courtesy it would have been nice.

Subscription required

You cannot now access your data unless you pay even if you only want to access data. App starts off free to use basic then forces you to pay. Trust issues are getting stronger! 😂

Response from developer

The app was free for seven years, but at some point that was no longer feasible.

Run on 2 devices

Will this app run on 2 devices simultaneously ie, what I load on my iPhone in my stash appears on my iPad as I use the scan barcode on my iPhone as the iPad is not practical to use because of its

Great modeller’s app

I’ve enjoyed this app for collating my craft model paints for a few years and Jan keeps updating it for us all.
Worthwhile being a Premium member for keeping your invaluable stash together

Response from developer

To add colors to a model you simply need to go to the color you have that you want to add to the model, tap "Models" at the bottom of the screen and then select all the models the color should be added to. It is a bit backwards perhaps, but this is the best I've come up with.

Excellent app

This app is excellent for scale modellers
Allows you to easily add models and their details, price place of purchase, scale, manufacturer, paints used, and photos plus heaps of other info about that particular model
Back up is great as is communication with the developer
Responds quickly to questions in a very timely manner
App is regularly updated with new paints from all the major players

An app that does more than just colors.

Give this app a try. It’s pack full of features beyond just tracking your paints. Track your builds. Get alternatives to your paints. It does a lot.
