This looks like it will become a great resource for new painters (like me). That’s been my biggest frustration is figuring out what I need to get to paint figurines. (Why GW doesn’t have a paint set that pairs with each miniature set/legion makes no sense). A couple ideas that I’m suggesting or hoping are in the works. 1. Make a public gallery to search artists or showcase new/popular uploads within the app. 2. Tie it to a paint shop. Followers can click a single button and can get an entire list of paints bought and delivered. I’d pay the mark up to save myself from following an entire video tutorial, writing each paint/tool down, scouring the web, and price matching, only to find out I missed something or wrote it down wrong. Or to avoid buying a huge paint kit that only has a handful of paints I actually need.
Developer Response
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review — we really appreciate the detailed suggestions. Tools to better compile and track paint lists are absolutely on our roadmap, and community discovery features are something we’re actively exploring as the app evolves. Thanks again for supporting the project in its early days!
Much needed!!

This app is an incredible tool for any miniature painter. I’ve been waiting a lonnnnngggg time to find a way to track my ideas, pictures and paints (instead of Notes) and this app finally solves that problem. Been super happy with the updates that have rolled out so far. Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Best App !!!
