Worked great before the iOS upgrade

Used to use this app all the time. Upgrading to IOS 14, has killed it. All I get is “database failed, make sure iCloud is turned on”. iCloud is on, the app is not. The iOS update was a couple of months ago, with no fix from the developer. Guess it’s one of the apps destined to die. Too bad.

Great Companion App

As well as having a huge list of paint brands and the ability to compare/convert for other brands, the app has a huge number of features that help track mixes, build projects, the paints you have and need.
The list of features is superb and I use it all the time to track my projects and what paints I need to buy.

Will not Load. :(

I must be missing something. I cannot download. All I get is an error stating that it “Failed to fetch User data” make sure you are signed into iCloud. I am and still no luck. Just throws an error message about 90% complete.

Can’t even use it - 08/08/20

When the app is opened the first time it wants to download colour data. Sometimes this fails. But even if it succeeds, I get “failed to fetch user data!” telling me to sign into iCloud.

I am already signed into iCloud. Even if I sign out and back in, and swipe the app away and restart, it makes no difference. Even if I use 4G vs Wifi, it also makes no difference. The app always fails.

Whichever error appears, the app then displays the error and you cannot do anything else but close it completely or delete it.

After deletion, and reinstallation, the app tries harder to download the data again. But fails every time for me.

Basing the startup of your app on access to data that may fail to download, then giving the user no further option to retry download or at least use the app in skeleton form... is fundamentally terrible app design.

HUGE HELP-

Mixing and matching colors between brands- OR within brands- I.e. spray can equivalents nomenclature vary with the same manufacturer- inventory of paints on hand- and amount on hand. Gathering and storing quickly, paint needed for for next project for in-store or on-line purchase. I’ve just tapped into this program and love it so far- found it via a YouTube model building video from a chap in England- “From a Shed in Devon” easy-peasy to use. Great tool and it can save you money via accurate mixing formulas quickly. Thanks-

Great Little product.

Great for creating a library of my many paints by manufacturers and colour. Also great when looking for a specific Hue to see which manufacturer has what I need.

Please add the option to list all owned paints by colour not just individual manufacturers. Having the option to have all by brands in one colour sorted list would be invaluable.

Also, how do you manage to do this for free? No ads and no obvious in app purchases. Well done.

Does not work

Appear to be unsupported, shame - looked like a great app.

Useful app

Good app, easy to create a list of colours you own, scanning barcode *mostly* works fine with just the occasional failing and needing adding from the extensive lists.

What it’s missing and I would like adding is:
Under the My Colours, Share My Colours, add print swatch. As a visual person it would be great to have a quick reference swatch to see if I have the right colours for my next build, exact colour match in the swatch isn’t necessary, enough for a quick glance.

Used to be excellent

Loved using this app - spent ages entering my paint collection and loved the cross reference feature between manufacturers. BUT no longer works and the developer can’t be contacted and their website is ‘under construction’. Such a shame.

Also no longer working

Getting following error
Failed to load Color model : error domain (plus more)
Would rate it otherwise, as was useful before whatever just happened
