Ratings and reviews

Best not to depend upon this app like a crutch, because it will only let you down. Many miniatures have incomplete color lists and others are completely wrong, regarding the circled areas. And since the November update, app also has deleted not only every saved project and project pictures, but also deleted every single paint in inventory and wishlist, forcing you to completely start all over... quite a pain, when you have well over a hundred paint pots.

Please oh please put the contrast/classic paint recipes back in! I know they still exist, but so many contrast only schemes just disappeared and I loved those! They're not on the GW website anymore so many painters turn to...you know, *THE* painting app for color recipes. I've been with this app long enough to see it make some improvements (adding way more models, for one) and I know that the team behind it is perfectly capable of designing a better, more robust app...with contrast recipes!

Brand new to Warhammer and was initially glad to see the units for my first every army (in progress) Adeptus Mechanicus, but as I looked for units beyond the basics, the egregious omissions exceeded helpful inclusions. I am grateful to be able to get a more exact sense of the actual paints used for the faction's box color scheme. Disappointing, the app is a good concept and shocking it's just been abandoned. I found nothing current for my first AOS army (Gloomspite Gitz).
