Ratings and reviews

The app is ok, but limited. Each model should have more pictures from different views at the very least to be useful. Having a rotatable model would be great. The app missing whole kill Teams. There is no Phobos Strike team while there are individual models for other teams. Ridiculous. Featuring alternate paint scheme would be nice feature. Approved community entries would be great to show more ways to paint a model.

paints dont match up to pictures. For the most part they get the right paint listed, but a surprising amount of models will have a certain triad but ill find another model with the same thing but they list completely different paint? It a real shame too cause I really love this app and like to reference colors but when they say use a set of blue paints when the Pic clearly shows green It bothers me. why tell people to REFER TO THE APP for help on the box but show wrong info?!? cmom GW

the app could be really cool however it falls short in the most crucial aspect. the app shows example pictures of models, you can then click on them to supposedly get the colors used in painting them. however the colors are almost always incorrect, they will at best show you a scheme that will vaguely look similar to the picture shown. the best example of this is the black Templar armor. the picture featured is from one of the studio painters armies, the app tells you to use 3 colors in achieving this look. however the actual artist did a step by step guide in a white dwarf article on how he painted the armor, it uses 5 paints and none of those 5 are ones that the citadel paint app recommends. if you have an example model the paint suggestions SHOULD reflect the colors ACTUALLY used!
