Ratings and reviews

Love this app! Recently though it gets stuck at the splash screen saying Please Wait with the progress bar growing slowly across the screen. Eventually the progress bar extends horizontally all the way from one edge to the other and adds an ellipse. I've left it alone for awhile in case it needs to update or something but it never comes out of Please Wait mode. 😁

This app is one hundred percent a must-have for miniature painters. I had it on my iPhone and I loved it enough to pay for it. I bought it again on my new phone because it's that good. Summary: You can compare paints and see color previews. You can create recipes so you can finally remember how you painted that one epic space marine. (Down to how you mixed your paint and how you applied it) Has a decent color wheel for seeing different color schemes. And more that I don't have space to wright.

I am loving the app so far! The search feature where I can choose my shade and brightness first and then find which paint/brand is the best match is a huge help for somebody starting out. And I love that I can save the paints that I have to help keep track of them. I noticed that Dragon Blue #09472 from Reaper was missing but I didn't see anywhere else in the app to submit that as a request to have it added. Overall I'd say it's well worth the $5 to unlock everything.
