WHAT YOU CAN DO

I have been looking for a sleek, clean app for organizing my pile of shame and I think this may be it! I love that you can take photos of your miniatures and updating the status is very easy. This was a real winner for me. So far the only thing that would make it better is an Ipad version and allowing you to change the dates you finished painting. I'm sure I will have more to say as I continue to use it but this app is great so far. It's also free with no ads. If it continues to improve I wouldn't mind buying a reasonably priced lifetime access pass.
More game systems
Faction lists are no longer built around a single game. This version adds around 60 factions covering fantasy, historical, and science-fiction tabletop systems, and groups them by system so the list stays easy to scan.
Choose what you see
A new "Games shown" screen lets you pick the systems you actually play. Everything is on by default: turn off what you do not need, and faction lists adjust straight away wherever you choose a faction. You can change it at any time in Settings, then Factions.
Nothing is lost along the way:
- miniatures, schemes, and projects keep exactly the faction you gave them;
- a faction already used in your collection stays selectable, even if you turn its system off;
- creating your own faction is still available, whatever you have selected.
Also in this version:
- your own factions can be linked to a game system, or left unassigned;
- factions are grouped by system in every faction picker.
