Really good, iPad app needs a boost

I’m really enjoying this app for supporting with my mini painting. The hex colour search across all the paint brands has been invaluable, I’d love to be able to search by RGB/Pantone etc too, especially useful when trying to match real life shades.

I’d really like to use it more on the iPad but without a landscape mode this makes it very difficult, being able to have the iPad sitting next to me as I paint is ideal but I can’t do it in portrait.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind comment. I try to improve the app on a regular basis (I'm not far from thirty updates in the last 23 months) and I work on it daily. Better colour search tools and a better iPad experience are on my huge todo list. Thanks for your suggestions!

Constant improvement

When I first stumbles across this app it was a bit quirky and unintuitive. I also couldn’t , as a new hobbyist, really see the point. Since then my painting knowledge has expended and the app has been dramatically improved. I now have paints from three different ranges and this app helps me to fill in gaps in my colours and avoid buying a shade/colour that I essentially already have from a different brand. I use it all the time and love tinkering with the features to explore colour options. Highly recommend it if you’re new to mini painting and a bit confused by paint ranges but also if you are looking to grow your paints from one single range as I did.

Developer Response ,

I thank you so much for your words!

Excellent all-in-one.

Stumbled across this app through the mini painting Reddit site following trying to write down all of my paints, mixes etc. This app is excellent and incorporates most features you could possibly need.

Just a couple of ideas that could further improve personally and perhaps it’s just me being silly - being able to use the app in landscape mode on the iPad and potentially alternate views on the paints - grids, smaller icons etc. Small points but would be great from a user perspective!

Thanks for your work it’s a pleasure to use your labour of love.

Developer Response ,

Thank you so much for your kind words and for the suggestions!
It's really nice and motivating for the future v2 I'm preparing.
