  • Feels like a Beta that could improve

    Not really user friendly, and could really use a UI design team to fix this. Having a wider database of models would help as well. I’m a warhammer painter and there’s just too many hoops to jump through to put time into this for now. Maybe when it gets some updates I’ll revisit the app. Cool idea, so I hope this all works out in the end.
  • Really Poor Product

    Comes with a tiny selection of models and no instructions on adding more. If an app doesn't work by itself, its not a finished product. Should not be on the app store yet. Don't spend your money.
  • Really cool

    Great features, model variety is sadly a bit low but it’s really nice for messing around with new color schemes, don’t go in expecting for the exact model you want to paint to be there
  • Worked good till recently

    I loved using this app for color schemes for my warhammer armies but I recently have been having issues with it now when I try to use a lot of mixed colors where it will affect the layers of paint for about 10 seconds before the app restarts and all my progress in painting is gone I tried redownloading the app and even using different colors but it still happens and kinda makes the app hard to if not unusable so if this gets fixed then it’s great
  • Great App, Requires Base Level Intelligence to Operate

    Too many reviewers seem to have trouble figuring out how to import files… you can get access to loads of additional files and paints needed to start doing mock-ups with 5 minutes of bare minimum research.

    This isn’t rocket science; it’s basic app and phone literacy. If you’re having trouble with this then you likely have far more important things to worry about than leaving reviews detailing your ineptitude with entry-level tech.
  • Fantastic app, but takes some setup

    I’m a beginner painter and I’m not trying to invest much time or money in my models at this time. I just used this app in a very basic way to plan my color scheme and I’m really happy with how well it worked.

    I did have to put in some effort to download the models I wanted. I consider myself tech-savvy and the impcat subreddit was very helpful so this didn’t take me long.
    However, if you’re looking for the app to contain everything from the get-go or if you don’t want to navigate the download process, this isn’t the tool for you.
  • iPad version doesn’t have Apple Pencil support

    Update broke Apple Pencil functionality. Major bug that’s gone unfixed for three months. Unacceptable for a paid app.
  • Great for what it is but recent update broke functionality

    A recent update on the iPad version made it such that I can no longer select zones on the model with my Apple Pencil. This is a critical bug and is a major deterrent to using the app. If you can find the time, PLEASE FIX IT 🙏

    As many have already stated, this app is awesome. So many of us in the hobby suffer from paralysis analysis and are hesitant to paint because we don’t know what we want. Similarly there are folks that want to sketch out their ideas ahead of time. This app lets you do both.

    Is it perfect? No, but it’s paving the way and definitely on the right track. I’m glad it exists and I’m an avid user. My feedback for the developer (speaking as one dev to another) is its clear the UI/UX was designed by a dev. My recommendation would be to find yourself a solid UI designer, and this app could go from good to absolute greatness!
  • Has serious potential .

    This app is pretty good as it stands, could use some improvements so that it runs smoother. I feel later down the line if updates (paints, models, some stability) continue that this would be something I could see myself using for many many projects. Update: 4/23/2022 if there were a way to easier upload a mini and paint it on here that would make this awesome
  • Great tool for experimenting with color schemes

    As someone who is very indecisive about color schemes and wants to get them just right before painting a whole army, this app is fantastic for me. The rendering looks very realistic and I think it gives you a great look at what a scheme would look like on the model. I love that I can make small tweaks in the app without having to paint multiple test models just to see how something will look.

    As some other reviews have alluded to, it definitely does take a bit of setup to get up and running. That said, once the initial setup is done you don’t have to worry about it again. If you have trouble with setting it up, the impcat subreddit has lots of useful resources and has been helpful for me with any questions I’ve had.

    I absolutely recommend this for anyone who likes to fine tune their paint schemes!
