So at first... And then!!!

Well I'm a photographer by trade and when I initially played with the I thought photo tool was a little limited. I could not grab a photo from my library. When I was selecting a color scheme it wouldn't let me save or create at a custom one. There is also only a limited selection of preprinted model examples to draw my inspiration from.... but then, I decided to tape a picture of an image on my computer. WOW! The app came up with several preprinted color schemes and one of them was spot on! It was painted on a jet pack but it gave me step by instructions. The image was made of 2 distinct colors and shades there of. The the app knew that and found a scheme incorporating both of them wonderfully!!! While I think The app could use some flushing out like a section for airbrush or wet blending It more than impressed me! I am absolutely heading to my awesome new Warhammer Store (shout out to Store #94!!!) To pick up the paints as soon I I get off work!... P.S. I'm writing this review at work since I couldn't wait to post!

Update wiped out all my paint data

Edit: updating my review since after I rebooted my phone (for unrelated reasons) now all my data is showing up in the app. Apparently some issue in first install, but not permanent. Updated my rating back to 5 stars, as well. My needs might be simple, but it does them perfectly. I was actually using the app to archive all the paints I've purchased and a wishlist for paints I'd like to get. However with the recent update, all that data is put in was wiped out. When I load it up now, I'm t says I have no paints and nothing in my wishlist. This means now I have to go through all my paints and update it again. Sure, not a huge amount of work, but wastes about 15 minutes of my time. The wishlist however is just gone. I used the app so I wouldn't have to remember. I was expecting that to be a reliable place to save such things. For doing those two things it was actually a pretty decent solution. Now I don't know if I can trust it not to lose everything again. If you can't trust it to save your list, why use it to store your lists?

Great App. Expansion needed.

While the app being free makes my opinions a moot point, the app functions in fantastic fashion, allowing you to scan colors and paints and other objects even to color match or find how to apply basic techniques to achieve a desired effect. Cataloguing your paints and checking if you have that one obscure edge hilight color when you are home or on the go, and wishlisting it so you can snag it the next time you go down to Warhammer or a FLGS is fantastic as well.What I really feel is lost on this app is the exclusion of a projects tab, where you could make your own list of paints you own and name them after projects, so when you are popping between one paint project to another, you can keep tabs and not go batty on which paints you were using.

Amazing for all skill levels

They have knocked it out of the park with this app. Being able to see how colors will look based on a few colors and techniques is such an amazing feature. I love using this app when determining how to paint a new color or style I'm less familiar with. It also gives a good sense of other colors you might not think to try. I only have two minor issues. 1.) I wish you could sort the paint inventory/wishlist based on colors (instead of alphabetically) similar to how they are sorted when you go buy them from a FLGS. Their display rack is so helpful, and being able to see the colors in triplet and around similar colors is helpful when selecting the right styles. 2.) I wish they would display some of the colors on things that aren't the backpacks. I would like to see all the flesh tones on an arm or leg so I could get a better sense of what they look like.
