Hobby Life allows you to track your miniature collecting and army building progress and even predict when you will finish preparing your army based on the current backlog. Start by building your collection and wishlist, then view your current monthly progress and spending habit to make choices about your next hobby steps. You can even link your painting projects to army lists which automatically update when you make some progress, so you can see how close you are to finishing your lists. This app is not a comprehensive list builder but does have some tools to help you bring in your lists from list builders. You can attach photos to your projects and view them in a gallery.
