## Description

MiniPaints is the app for miniature painters to find and track paints, save and organize recipes, and manage projects. Save and Share Paint Recipes with a QR Code system, and use the Paint Mixer to experiment with proportions and dilution while exploring analogous and complementary colors.

Color theory tools include Color Schemes (Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary, Split-Complementary, Triad, Tetrad, Square), a Color Picker for hex codes, and Color Capture on photos to identify matching paints. Additional features include photo filters, in-stock lists, wishlists, and barcode scanning to quickly add paints. A broad catalog (about 4000 references) from major ranges is available, with core features free and optional features for supporters, plus data export in the works.

## Review summary

Users praise MiniPaints for strong inventory management, cross-brand color lookup, and project logging. They view the premium version as offering real value. However, recurring complaints center on an incomplete, outdated paint catalog and the lack of developer updates or support; reliability issues like the app failing to open or camera not functioning; and the inability to manually add paints to your inventory. If these issues are addressed, the app would be an even more indispensable tool for miniature painters.

### Pros

- Strong inventory/collection management (track owned paints, wishlist, and organize by brand).
- Effective color lookup and cross-brand color references for finding paints.
- Project logs and paint recipes to record steps and notes for each model.
- Photos and model-based logging support painting progress for reference.
- Premium features provide real value for hobbyists and are widely praised.

### Cons

- Incomplete/missing paint lines and an outdated catalog; updates are not kept current.
- Developer appears inactive with little or no communication about issues or updates.
- Stability problems (app won’t open; camera features may fail).
- Cannot manually add paints to your inventory, limiting customization.
- Navigation can be confusing for beginners.
