Great but needs updating

I use this app a lot but it really needs updating with recent paints.
Also the comparisons between paints are not totally accurate.

Actualizar o morir

La base de datos de Real color de AK es la vieja gama de los botes como los Tamiya… la acual ha cambiado de referencias, colores y formato . Ponlas al dia o no nos sirve a algunos. Gracias

A perfect app

Very intuitive to use, very customizable, completely stable. And it does everything I would hope for!

Good App

The app works but I have found some mistakes in the paint list with colors. The mistakes are very few but you would not have known unless you have been using that paint line for the last 40 years like myself. I would have like to see the ability to make a correction or add to my list the missing colors.
