1. 2/5Iffy for warhammer

   If you want to use this for warhammer minis I would be cautious. There is a subreddit you can look at to find a list of models they have for you to work with (which requires an entirely separate download and import) but the list is not all encompassing and is missing allot of models. In some cases there are fan made or proxy models that are so far off base that it’s useless if you wanted to see how your model would look. ( I’m looking at you, weird spider leg tyrant guard). If you can find your models in the mega link from the sub Reddit and go through the process of importing it then yea the app works pretty well but otherwise you more than likely aren’t getting a SVG and you just wasted 3$

2. 1/5Description of app is misleading. Would not recommend.

   This app is a nice idea, but it’s not worth anyone’s money. There is currently no “library” from which to download SVG files so that you can even paint any miniatures you would want beyond the 6 which come with the app. The fact that they are charging $3 for this is suspicious and should be reviewed. Basically if you want to paint your own miniatures you need to 1. Take hi-res well lit photography of your OWN minis in gray before they are painted at all. 2. The ability to create your own SVGs within Photoshop (oh yeah you’ll need that too). 3. Lots of time. If you have Photoshop and can make your SVG and take your own hi-res well-lit photos of your minis, why do you need this app? In the apps own description it states that It’s connected to a rich library of SVGs in the form of FREE DLC none of which is on the developers website nor are there links to this library. I don’t like leaving a review like this but there’s too many obfuscations which seem to be made by the developers to prevent people from actually realizing they just got duped into spending $3 on something that basically every minipainter wishes existed. I’m calling this predatory, don’t buy.

3. 2/5Buyer Beware

   App is probably not what you think it is. I suspect most people who pay and download never actually use it for the purpose they downloaded it for. I assumed it was going to be an easy process. Select the models I want to paint from a list. Maybe download them. Paint in the app and see what I like before committing to a color scheme. That is NOT what this app does. It is a powerful tool when used properly, but it is not intuitive or user friendly. You will need to go out of your way to source the files yourself, and download them to the files app. It’s a pain in the rear. Just paint the minis. Skip the app. As you can see by a “developer response” to another users review the dev team doesn’t seem to take criticism kindly and do not respond in the most professional manner. Another reason to save your money.

4. 5/5Good Once You Get It Going

   Alright, so I took the plunge and bought it after seeing the last review was over a year ago. I don’t know if much has changed, but the app does what you want it to. It takes a bit of work, and downloading the files from another site, but the subreddit is really helpful and there are lots of models to choose from. I was interested for 40k, and after installing MEGA and visiting the folder where all the modes are stored, you can download whatever and start “painting”. Takes a bit to setup, but great once you get there

5. 5/5It’s gotten better since the old reviews

   So even after reading the reviews I decided to give this thing a shot. I happen to have found it via a google search which let me to a page to read about and and gave me the instructions on how to get the files I was looking for from impcat’s redit page. Once I did that it was fairly simple to use. Even the uploading the file it required to use wasn’t hard unless you just don’t know much about technology. All in all the app is what you think it is it helps you plan out your paint scheme without wasting hours on painting to just figure out you don’t like the pattern you made.
