Ben Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I recently decided to sort out all my paints. Ruined! This started well until I was pointed in the direction of this awesome app on iOS, after that (like any good geek will know) I was unable to resist cataloging my paint pot collection. The Paint Pot App the paint pot app is an awesome tool for keeping track of your paints collection The features that I have found useful after only a couple of hours use are: barcode scanner to quickly identify your paints built-in list of top paint manufactures full range lists function including sub lists to save your paint recipes for your models and break it down to parts of models. Here are some screenshots from the app. View full article 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tronhammer NZ Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 @pt_22 you need this, bro. Do they have an Android version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 No idea! If there is an android version let m know and I will sort out a similar blog post for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antipodean7 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 How have I not known about this excellent idea? I'm often standing at a hobby shop wondering if I have stegadon scale green at home, buy a pot and then realise I actually have 3 pots already. Plus, as master of the unfinished project, I do struggle to remember paint recipes when I come back to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Araceae Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Thanks for sharing this. I've been hoping Courageous Octopus would make an iOS version of their PaintRack app, but I will give this a shot instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobgoblinclub Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It's a great app. I use it every time I go into a GW store to check my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 This is genius! Can't can't the amount of times I've bought an extra pot of "something" because I wasn't sure if I had one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Looks great. Downloaded. Will try it out later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tronhammer NZ Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I'm finding it useful for keeping track of colour scheme 'recipes'. Useful after breaks painting you forget what colours you use. My Empire army is a testament to that - half the army' bases are much lighter as I was using a different technique. As I come to replace paint pots though, the inventory will become useful!

SadGlad Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi there! I've been using it for some time now and I really like it too! It's perfect for avoiding bying the same pot of paint several times ? I also use the list feature. It would be useful to be able to write a few notes in a list. Great app ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app is also requiring creation of an account, and doesn't appear to work without a login. (And doesn't work offline...) Thanks for your feedback and the heads up about our certificate. We've recently been doing some behind the scenes work for an upcoming update and have now fixed the certificate issue. As for creating an account, we decided to do it this way so the user's paints and lists are synced to the server. If you lose your device, you can simply login to a new one and everything will be synced back over. It also allows us to add new paint ranges without an app update.
