User reviews

Well now nice!

When I saw the dev responded I didn't think it changed given as of August 13 I have just downloaded it & tried a bit saw u can free paint u need to hold the ipencil to the area to start like the flow of painting but u can free paint now, for that im giving it 4 stars im gonna use it for a week and see how things go then ill ether leave it 4 or up it.


From what I saw very nice improvement.

Little wary on the AI thing as that tends to make the cost of things go up from what I experienced with another app.

Response from developer

You were very clear about wanting actual painting rather than tap-to-fill, and that criticism mattered. ColorMinis now includes Paint and Airbrush tools for painting directly on the 3D model, along with blending, masking and materials. The app today is very different from the version you reviewed.

Didn’t work at all when downloaded, devs fixed

After they updated, a week later, the app works now. But they have a history of breaking it, and that is completely unacceptable. And it’s getting in the way of their own success.

The app itself is really nice, and I’m giving four stars to encourage the devs. Why not just make a solid app rather than trying to inject always online server side garbage that breaks it?

Can you let me know if it's still an issue for you? Please email support@colorminis.com so i can help

Used to be good

It used to be good, now you have to pay for everything

Response from developer

Thanks for coming back, and I understand why it looked that way. The current ColorMinis has 75+ 3D models you can paint free without ads, and Paint, Airbrush, Materials and AI tools are free too. We’ve changed a lot of the free experience and hope you’ll give it another look.

amazing airbrushing top new features!

Detailed models 360 view most amazing collection from anime to dungeons warriors i love it my favorite app for relaxing!

Can’t even paint a basic model

First model I tapped on was a free model. I hit the play button and was told I have to watch an ad or subscribe to a premium. I have to watch an ad or pay a subscription to do basic gameplay. Ridiculous and sketchy.

Response from developer

You were right to question that experience. A model marked free should feel free to use. We’ve since changed the free experience: 75+ 3D models can now be painted without ads, and the core Paint, Airbrush, Materials and AI tools are free. Thanks for calling out the old flow.
