Has potential
The app has potential, but the interface is clunky, and it has not been updated with GW contrast paints. Also, there is no way to store your inventory of paints.
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your feedback! Its highly appreciated. There is a bright future for the app and updates are along the way with inventory tracking etc. Remember: You can allways add missing or custom paints yourself. You are not limited to the presets of the app. Best and thanks again!
An invaluable tool
It’s an amazing app. Keeps me consistent not only in how I paint but also lets me check exactly how I achieved an effect for use with future projects. Quite invaluable for reminding me what’s been done already when I came back to an army after a few months working on something else. My only complaint would be that the downloadable paint ranges aren’t updated frequently enough to account for changes in the product line.

Awesome app, needs a little more...
This app is awesome for keeping track of large paint jobs. The way you can create materials and then assign them to minis is also fantastic. This app is so close to 5 stars, but it needs a little more, namely:
- The order of the minis change every time you open the app and there’s no sorting methods. The ability to alpha sort is important for larger jobs.
- The ability to group minis in to folders would really clean up the miniatures section. Considering that many games have clans/tribes/races/etc the ability to place minis in folders would be of great benefit.
- I would love to be able to collapse each category in the materials page. That way instead of scrolling through to find what you want you could look for the category you want, tap on it (expanding it), and then look for the material you want.

Fantastic & flexible!
This is a must-have for even occasional hobby painters. Forgot how what colors you mixed to get your leather like that? What wash did you use on the face? Never again! Individual miniatures can be saved into group projects, so you can organize by game, commission, warband, or however you please.
Defiantly a good resource
I actually made a video about this for my YouTube channel. It’s been nice, a little clunky at first trying to figure it out but once you have it rolling it’s beautiful.
Very useful tool
A fantastic tool for organising and planning your mini painting projects. Each project allows you to store a collection of materials made up of various different stages of painting - each of which can store either a standard paint, or a mix ratio (which can be further broken down into ml of paint used) - along with individual models in that project complete with completion percentage (based upon how far through each material you are).
The interface could do with a little bit of work: adding paints can initially be confusing (though it does come with an extensive list of colours from popular manufacturers), and a list of default painting stages would also be useful (base, layer, highlight, shade) rather than you needing to add them yourself. There are also some fields that could do with a little more explanation. Further, it would be nice if you could transfer materials between projects to save you having to input frequently used combinations and approaches.
All in all a great app; thanks for the hard work!

Only one recommendation
This app is fantastic. It really keeps everything you need organized, but I have one recommendation to make. Please add a feature so that you can organize the order of the miniatures in each project. I would like to categorize each type of mini, and right now I cannot find a way to do that. Besides that, 100% fantastic.

Great app for tracking paint steps, would love a place to share pmmf files
I really enjoy this app. It has most major miniature paint brands you can think of and will help you sketch out and track your paint recipes. Being able to attach images of your projects and track the minis in that project is a neat touch.
One thing I’ve been trying to find, but haven’t, is a place to share or download other people’s recipe files. It’s advertised as a function of the app, but I can’t really find anyone online, or a place, that has these files to share or download. It would be great to see a function like that or a community for sharing files.

So far so good!
This app has helped me get over my “color mixing anxiety” - I like being able to keep all my mixing notes in one place.
However, I’ve noticed there are colors missing from some of the brands, specifically The Army Painter.

Not a good paint collection manager
Sad that i paid $4 for an mini paint app that doesnt track your paint collection.
Response from developer
Sorry that you feel that way. PaintMyMinis is meant for tracking your paint recipes (which order you painted which paint for a certain effect) of your miniature painting projects as the description says. Tracking your paint collection (how many paint pots you own from which brand) is on the feature request list and will be implemented in the next few months. Stay tuned.
