Crashes constantly
Unsupported. Don’t purchase.
Revision: In review of developer comments, the issues described above remain. My installed app says iModelKit Light, but the id6 store (not Apple App Store) says I have the premium plus inventory version. The refresh feature is inactive. Paint charts can be updated but many don’t exist. I’m not going to risk downloading the full version again for $9.99 to have the same problems. The last app update was 7 years ago. Too long. Save your money until the app is rebuilt.

I'm sorry you are not happy with our App. However, before submitting a review you shoud have contacted us (info@id6.ch) or checked the faq on our website (https://www.id6.ch) so that we could have helped you. We always reply to our users within 24-48 hours. We regularly post chart updates as well as brand new charts on our website so that your paint catalog can be updated. You can create a new chart and with "dummy" paints using RGB values and then find equivalences (or even a mix) with other paints. You can always recover the full release from the App Store located in our App, there is a restore button for that. We are working on a brand new release of iModelKit to enhance and correct the App. However it takes longer than expected as there have been tremendous changes in Apple Development tools that prevent us from posting updates of older code. The new tools are just becoming stable and well featured enough to meet the needs of a complex app such as iModelKit.

New review
I absolutely love this app. I have over six pocket sized note books full of color recipes. I dare say over 800+ colors. From everywhere. Reading an hobby article. New recipe. Find a picture, chase down the recipe using RGB feature. Find the color RGB numbers, make a color chip for it, mix using your favorite brand of paint.
I try to convert 99.9% of the recipes to Tamiya brand, because they easily available to me, practically foolproof system and very few colors can not be mixed with them.
Support is fantastic.
Other companies large and small could learn a lot about customer relations from these people.
As a suggestion, I asked if they had seen the popularity of craft paints being used by people on YT, and on one of the next updates, several brands were included as options for inclusion. I'd like to think I had something to do with that.
I understand in the near future another update is due and so look forward to that one.
You can not go wrong with this app.
Doesn’t work anymore
Not for me
Response from developer
We are sorry you encountered issues with our App. It should work well on an iPad (although in iPhone Mode). You can contact us at info@id6.ch to describe your issue so that we can help you make it work as it should. We are also working on a brand new release with support for full iPad Mode.
Disappointed
Response from developer
We are sorry you encountered issus with our App. The barcode scanner should work properly with the cited paints as we use the standard Apple barcode scanner. However, there are some tricks to know to use it properly such as being in a well lighted environment to scan (the scanner is sensible to contrast and focus). These tricks are available on the help screen of the scanner (tap on the scanner title). You can also contact our support at info@id6.ch as the review is not the best place for support (slow and no privacy). If you need a refund, you have to contact Apple for that as payments are fully manage by them. UPDATE AK Real Colours as well as a lot of other new charts are available from our website : http://www.id6.ch. Go to the News to see the full list of new charts and updates and how to download these. Again, You can contact our support at info@id6.ch if you need more information or Help. We are also working on a brand new release with a better way to detect and download new charts.
No Comparison charts
Response from developer
iModelKit does have comparison charts. You just have to select the paint you search the equivalence for to see equivalences for other brands. However, the free release only contains the comparison charts that are provided by paint manufacturers. Computed equivalences, that gives at least one equivalence for each colour and brand, are available with the Premium release. If you need more information, please contact our support at info@id6.ch.
Fantastic Support
I can’t emphasize enough that it’s clear id6 has the highest regard for customer input and providing the best product of its kind on the market. Cheers gentlemen!
Decent but needs updating.
Response from developer
MRP as well as a lot of other new and updated charts are available from our website at http://www.id6.ch. Please check the news to see which charts have been added / updated. A new bunch of updates will be delivered by the end of the month.
Great app but needs improvement
The help is OK but needs to be flesh out more with better examples.
The support on the other hand is fantastic! Any time I had a question they answered it straight away (no matter how many times I asked the same thing ☺️).
I fully recommend this app and am looking forward to its upgrade.
Not Full Line or TAP
Response from developer
Thank you for your review. The Army Painter ranges have been updated last August on our website. We haven't seen much changes since. Have you tried to update the chart ? Please contact us for more information at info@id6.ch or check our website News at www.id6.ch for more information. You can also check help by taping on the Paint charts screen title.
Great app but could use a touch more
Just what I was looking for
Response from developer

Fantastic App!
Every model maker should download it and try it. I eventually paid for the full version. This has to be one of the most useful apps out there. Brilliant!
Not as good as it used to be.
Thanks for the reply, but this review is based on my opinion, so if I want to ‘trash’ you, I damn well will!
TLDR.
Simple FACT is, previously, I could pick a colour, and it would show me all the equivalent paints from other manufacturers. That was the sole reason to use the app. Now it only shows a few examples, if any. All the others are only available in the paid version. I just use google now.
You’re obviously quite happy calling me a liar, but why would I go to the trouble of writing this (my only) review if I were making it up?!
Tell you what, don’t bother replying to this, I’ll just refer you to the last sentence I posted earlier, ‘just use google’.
Btw, because of your replies, I’ve now changed my rating from two stars to one. If zero were possible, you’d get that.
Back in the game
Edited review #2: back to its original utility with those mainstream paints available on the Light version for reference and mixing.
Response from developer
I'm really sorry you disliked our new release. And I'm also sorry to say that you are simply wrong : The free release have 25% more equivalences and have a huge lot more charts than the previous release. It also have a lot more features (we took special care for it). The Pay release have even more equivalences thanks to our brand new and unique features that computes additional equivalences "live" (by level and nearest colour computation). Also you seem to misunderstand what iModelKit is. It is not a simple paint equivalence tool. iModelKit has unique features that can't be found anywhere else : A huge lot of paint references, an efficient paint mixer, a 3D (model kit related) scale computer, special colour pickers for images and camera,... And all of this is for free ! The pay release adds a lot more features such as equivalences computing feature, the enhanced mixer, ... Also you seem to misunderstand the differences between releases. I'll let you read the App description on the App Store or you can also have more detailed information on http://www.id6.ch. You Also have concerns about the App price, especially if you compare it with more general iPhone Apps such as games. You have to be aware that iModelKit is a quality App that is costly to develop in a very small market. We would really like to propose a better price, but id6 is a small company and we have to earn money from our hard work, simply to live. • Our hobby is a small potential market and we all pay the price for it whenever we buy modelling products : simply compare the price of iModelKit with a few paint jars, a quality paintbrush, a model kit, an upgrade set or even a decal sheet • Notice that iModelKit has been available for more than 5 years and that upgrades are free • The App is fast enough profitable by using equivalences and the mixer (to save paints) and the inventory feature (to save from buying products you already have). I encourage you to retest the new release and to write a review back. You can also contact us at info@id6.ch for more information.
