An absolute must for any watercolour painter / pigment collector
I’ve been looking for an app such as this for years and am so impressed with this app I immediately purchased the full app. I have all my palettes and pigments sorted into a neat and cohesive collection now instead of just on paper. The absolute must is the amazing single pigment finder which is a dream. Thankyou devs!Show lessThe Scarlet Pimpernel ...
Not updated enough.
I have had my paid version of this app for several months. I wrote to the developers in May of 2024 asking how often they updated their color swatches. No answer and no updates…chuggins12
Love this app!
I’ve love this app! It is so handy to have. I have created several palettes and educated myself just through this app.
There are just a few things to work through so that it why it is 4 stars. I do realize this is a fairly new app and hopefully improvements will come. For me it was worth the purchase!Show lessPLE108
A Great App It Is A Game Changer
It is well worth the one off cost to upgrade this app to Premium. I used to do long searches trying to find information on my many paints but now it is all in one place and I can drop any colour into my made-to-measure virtual palettes. This is the answer I have been looking for on how to keep track of what colours go where. Thanks so much to the developers as you have saved me hours of search time 💗.Show lessMillydaisy
Does not sync
I bought the palette because the free one does not really do a whole lot. For the price, the app should come with instructions and should be able to sync with my other devices instead of paying again. The search is not extensive which does not include my kuretake colors. I’ll keep it anyway since I’ve already paid. It’s overpriced for limited functionality.Show lessD Trauma
Love this app!
Was so pleased I found this app to create many personal palettes for all of my watercolour paints.
Love that it has all the paint properties on the swatch without having to click further.
So pleased it is a one-off purchase price for the pro version as subscriptions are an immediate turn off.The only nickname left!
Beware, you can't sync data between your iPhone and iPad
This will maybe someday be a great app, maybe, but for now it has some serious limitations. Here are the 3 I've discovered so far.
You can't sync data between devices (I confirmed this w customer support who is basically the app developer herself?) This means that any palette you create on your phone, will not appear on your iPad. It also doesn't seem to recognize on my other device that I bought the "pro" version.
Using this on my iPhone means the color swatches are teeny tiny. To drag and move a square around a palette, you'd have to tap an even tinier little "=" icon at the top of each square. If you don't hit the icon JUST right, you can't drag that swatch. If could go the moving around on my iPad, life would be less frustrating. To do so now means recreating all my palettes AGAIN, and paying for the the pro version AGAIN. No, thanks.
My favorite palette is 9 columns across and 4 rows down. The app only allows max of 8 columns across, so I had to build it sideways, if that makes sense. Not ideal. My workspace is such that pivoting my palette 90 degrees is not an option.
The watercolor enthusiast world is HUGE! I belong to many Facebook groups, one of which has over 44,000 members. The market for a GOOD palette database is enormous. And we share our great finds. I can't say this is one of them yet.Show lessPapa Guerilla
Saves me time and money!!
I just learned about this app! Nearly immediately it provided me more efficiency when choosing a color, prepping for a workshop, and ordering more tube stock. The ability to create a palette for any groups of paints is lifesaving. I made a palette for my paints by manufacturer. The sorting options within a palette are great; transparent, pigment, reds, etc. While reviewing a workshops supply list I encountered colors unknown to me. So on the app I looked up the formula, searched for similar formulas that I own (via the manufacturer palettes I created) and found that mixing two of my owned paints kept me from needing to buy any paint for the workshop!Show lessPraying Painter CHI
Finally, someone nailed it!!!
I've been looking for something like this for years. Finally something I can really use to track the pigments I use for each painting. I love it! The link to Amazon for buying each color is brilliant, too!stgault
