Best of the Best

This is a superb app that is both useful and easy to use. I have over 500 colours input and now working on my model stash. The app is regularly updated with new colours and has a team of beta testers to keep it useful. I have used many other apps to control my colours, this is the best by far. The new Build Log adds another dimension by allowing you to keep notes on your ideas and projects.

Broke the trust

I had all my colors in this app a couple of years ago. Never uninstalled it. Had to take a break from modeling and open the app. It says too old and to upgrade. Ok sure.

All the data and information for hundreds of paints all gone. I don’t know why or how but it appears around version 3. I guess they made such an overhaul that the data got lost?

Whatever the reason I can’t trust the app to not do this again at some random point in the future. To force an update and in the process not import my existing data… nope. Not going to give you a second shot at storing my data. Trust is gone and once gone it’s almost impossible to reclaim … much like my data.

Response from developer

Your version was really old and seems there was a problem updating the data to the newest format. Please get in touch and I can manually do the data migration.

Excellent app but could do with some tweaks

I’ve been trying to find a way to catalogue and managing my growing collection of paints. This app seems perfect for doing this in a way that is effective and attractive, especially compared to some of the clunkier zoos out there. The ability to add model projects is excellent! There are a few bugs, which can be frustrating, so it would be great to see these addressed. Also, a few missing features would, I feel, add to the value here: 1) a select multiple or batch add feature would help quickly build paint collections; 2) when adding colours to model projects being able to view just the Stash rather than every colour in the Library would avoid endless scrolling past paints I don’t own; 3) a folder or grouping system would really help manage Colour Lists (e.g. by drawer, colour matches, triads, etc.) and Model projects (e.g. gathering bases, shades and highlights by model section). Otherwise, I’m enjoying this tool a lot!

So much potential

Downloaded this yesterday after a trip to a hobby store which saw be buying some paints which I already had. Enough is enough, put all my paints, pigments etc in from all different manufacturers, over 500, took me ages. But relieved it was finally done. Woke up this morning a missed a couple which were on my desk, no problem il put them in now. Nope, won’t let me log in, authentication failed. 😩😩😩 what a complete waste of time. Was so happy with this app too.

Best app for a modeller

Excellent app with a dedicated developer that is constantly evolving and improving. Hope for same level of support in the future. Highly recommended

Awesome support from a small developer.

This is a must have app for scale modelers, war game and miniature painters. The app is only half of it there is support on his FB Group. Not only can you catalog your paint collection, you can record paint recipes, and notes. I love the shopping list as
Well.

An excellent app

Incredibly useful app for recording your collection of paints, custom colour mixes, what colours you used on a particular project, plus photos, notes and other reference materials that relate to the model.

Great app

Use this app to record my paints, washes and stash, fantastic tool for comparing the vast range of shades that are, apparently, the same colour or for amending instructions with preferred brand of paint.

Please use and support: much to useful to lose!

Not bad but…

This isn’t a bad app but I’d love the option to filter out the brands that I don’t use. When finding colour matches, I don’t want to scroll through hundreds of options for paints which I don’t like or aren’t available to me.

Response from developer

You can mark the paint brands that you have as favorites which lets you see only those brands in “Favorite brands”.

Best app for scale modellers

If you are a builder of scale models of any kind, give this feature rich app a try. From the paint catalog, to the similar colour feature, the shopping list, relating paints to models, the level of detail you can enter for each model, adding aftermarket products too, and relating these to your models so that you can track your detail kits, decals and masking per model, this app is THE best. But the thing that really makes it stand out is the developer. He actively seeks feedback via the forums listed in the app (Facebook, Discord) and works on bugs as they are reported. He asks for ideas for new features and actually implements them. As a long time user and someone who has provided feedback and requests over the last couple of years this app feels like “our” app. With this app I am so much more organised, so I can spend less time working out what I already have and need for that next project and more time getting on with the joy of making models.
