Crashes constantly
Sadly on my iPad mini running 18.7.1 the app crashes every time I try to look at pain colours. This makes it useless for my needs as the other features are not required by me.
Unsupported. Don’t purchase.
It would be great if the developers kept the app updated with paints and with bugs. Many paints available to me are not in the app. The photo library and internet color selection no longer works. There is no way to select colors based on RGB, HEX, or other color classification systems. The developer is unresponsive to these issues. The App Store no longer recognizes that I paid for the full version. Save your money.
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.

Response from developer
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
My first review was from 2014 and I don't see it here anymore so an updated review would not be amiss.
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
Nothing happens when I try to pick a colour out of the sample picture using my iPhone 14, all I get is a black screen.
Not for me
I just can’t get this to work for me on iPad, though I’ve tried it a number of times
Disappointed
The barcode scanner worked erratically, skipped many colors in the same series that it found others in like ak interactive and reaper. When will you come out with ak interactive real colors?
No Comparison charts
This appears to be more of a list of catalogs/paints and how to mix them. Unfortunately I’m looking for substitution charts. When given an FS number or Italeri number what would be the closest Tamiya bottle and/or spray. My misunderstanding.
Fantastic Support
I’m mostly using the application to keep track of my paints. I noted that they didn’t have any of the Wilder products listed and decided to just shoot them a quick email on a Saturday asking if they planned to include them in the future. I couldn’t believe it but received a response the next day.
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.
Decent app, but really needs to be updated. Many colors since the last release, aka MRP that are not listed. Really hope the devs comeback to this app.
Great app but needs improvement
Really useful app with a lot of features. Unfortunately they can be hard to find and aren’t intuitive.
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
Please add the full line of the army painter super annoying without it
Great app but could use a touch more
I love this app, it’s a great way to control paint and supply inventory. I wish there was a better way to add custom inventories such as tools, and model inventory. I think it would be of great help for those of us who are big scratch builders and 3D printers. App is definitely worth while as is though. Just an old grump who would like more.

Just what I was looking for
This was just what I was looking for. Great coverage of available paints. Would have given it 5 stars but missing Vallejo mech colors.
Fantastic App!
Obviously a lot of time and effort has gone into this app. Although it took sometime to find my way around using it, it’s well worth the effort!
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.
This light version used to be great, after the ‘improvements’, not so much. Pretty much all of it is behind a paywall now, so it’s very limited. Having a paid version is fair enough, but removing stuff that used to be free pisses me off!
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
My previous review: What a brill little app. Pretty extensive reference - haven't found it lacking yet.
Edited review #2: back to its original utility with those mainstream paints available on the Light version for reference and mixing.

Great Modelling Resource!
This app is a great resource for the scale modeler with it's library of paints that can be cross referenced to the various brands available. Some of the new features like the paint stock list, mixing library, etc., make it a must have!
Review
This app.is outstanding,just used it to help someone im met in my local hobby shop...!!!
Useful application
Very helpful for modelling. So much video AD, but I can find info for paints converting for some my model buildings in this free version.
