### 5/5 — Machete

*2026-01-09, version 7.5.0*

Приложение супер. Просто сказка, какая-то. Сюда бы ещё Machete добавить.

### 4/5 — Спасибо!

*2025-12-31, version 7.5.0*

Убедительная просьба добавить возможность смотреть, из каких своих красок (добавленных в свой список избранных) или всех красок, доступных в приложении, можно замешать выбранный цвет. Обратная опция уже работает достойно (color blending).

### 4/5 — Pro Acryl

*2024-12-20, version 6.9.0*

Will be 5 stars when they add Pro Acryl

### 5/5 — Great app, recent update has cased it to crash though

*2024-10-19, version 6.7.0*

Have been using the app for years, have noticed today the app is crashing every time I try to match paints

### 5/5 — Каталог красок

*2024-03-03, version 6.4.0*

Jim-scale и будет огонь! Либо пользовательские цвета разрешить в БД добавлять.

### 5/5 — Army painter

*2024-02-25, version 6.4.0*

Could you add army painter war paint air please? Thankfully

### 5/5 — Great app; great developer too

*2024-01-30, version 6.4.0*

This is my go-to app and has been for as long as I can remember. The developer is fantastic too - always replies to suggestions and implements a lot of them too.

### 5/5 — Best model paint app

*2023-09-30, version 6.2.0*

This is the best model paint app on the market. It will match different brands of paint so you can get as close as possible to what you are looking for. Also I was amazed at the support the developer gives. I had emailed asking for a particular brand of paint to be added to the app and I really didn’t expect a response. About a few days later the developer responded to my email and said he would work on getting the brand I asked for added. And what would you know. About 2 months later the brand I asked for was now on the app. I will only use this app . I love it. Also you just don’t see this type of customer service anymore.

### 5/5 — Все отлично, но не хватает производителей

*2023-07-26, version 6.2.0*

Здравствуйте, у вас потрясающее приложение, но добавьте пожалуйста производителя красок «Jim scale»

### 1/5 — Nice but....

*2023-07-10, version 6.2.0*

Ads come up too often, when one tries to buy the app, generates an error message. Too bad too as this one has the best interface out of 5 I tried.
