Review summary

Miniature Painter Pro is praised for its comprehensive paint color database, practical features for hobbyists, and responsive developers. Users appreciate its time-saving tools for managing paint collections and finding color matches. However, some commonly cited issues include color accuracy limitations, missing paint brands, and weaknesses in the mixing interface. Users suggest improvements like manual color input, better palette organization, and expanded paint submission options. Overall, the app serves as a valuable tool with room for refinement in accuracy and usability.

Pros

Helps hobbyists save time and money by efficiently managing and comparing miniature paint colors.
Includes a large and up-to-date selection of paint brands and colors, including discontinued colors.
Provides useful features like color matching, color mixing suggestions, and the ability to create and save color palettes.
User interface is generally clear, intuitive, and faster/less cluttered compared to alternatives.
Responsive and proactive developer support that addresses issues and considers user feedback.

Cons

Color accuracy issues relative to real paint colors, sometimes leading to imprecise matches.
Limited paint brand availability or missing specific paint sets, with no easy way for users to submit missing paints.
Color mixing tool could benefit from manual input options (e.g., RGB/CMYK) rather than only slider controls.
Difficulty with identifying or distinguishing between paint types like metallics, washes, and bases, affecting suggestions.
Some UI limitations, such as difficulty scrolling in shipping page, lack of font size adjustment, and limited organizational/grouping of palettes.

2024-12-28	Ba*****	The issue got fixed the same day. App does exactly what i want and i can quickly compare colors from different brands without clicking through 5 different shops. When i try to buy paints with your app i get stuck on the shipping page. I cant scroll down.

2024-03-30	An*****	Updated. Great app. Great potential but the mixer needs a lot of work, why does it have to be a slide scale only if you want to choose your own color. Can't even enter values manually like rgb/cmyk or hex code input.

2024-03-26	Kj*****	This is THE app for mini painters imo, I've tried most of not all of them and this one is the one I keep going back to. Could be easier to use but I'm nitpicking.

2024-03-08	Ja*****	The app is not terribly, criminally slow and generally less of a UI/UX mess then the alternatives, but it's also not as accurate as it could/should be when the app claims to provide alternatives for paints between ranges. The fact that you need a picture before you can go "does anyone make an alternative for VGC Gory Red yet?" is weird but not a deal breaker...

2023-07-22	Se*****	Hey guys, love the app. There's just one more feature I need. Finding a similar color. I sometimes have to reorder a empty color but I can't find them anymore so I buy something that sounds similar but painting it looks quite different. I wished your app would have a feature that shows me the next closest colors so I may order them.

2023-05-11	Ma*****	I like the ability to create my color lists on my phone. But, I would like it better if we had a way of noting which parts (skin, boots, cloak, etc.) of the model the color was painted on. Would also like a way to change the photo attached to the list.

2022-12-03	Pa*****	Heard about you on reddit. Great idea, great execution. Love this app! This saves me from having to type, or manually write down, every gd pot of paint I own. And the image upload to get a palette?! Fantastic!! My only complaint is there is no font size settings. I usually rock the smallest size font on Android (Settings->Accessibility->Font size), but that makes the font in this app wasaaaay too small. So please add a font size option! Or increase default! Thank you and great work so far!!

2022-12-02	Na*****	So far so good, I use this app primarily to get inspi there was an option to scan art form the web and then match up the colors I wanna paint my minis. The only real con I've seen is that you can't scan your paints into the app. This would be a great quality of life improvement for those of use that don't have a huge library of paints.
