Paint Pot App (iPhone)

I got sick of not having a list of what paints I have with me when finding tutorials online etc, so created a little app for iPhone to track my Citadel paint collection. It's very (very!) basic, literally a checklist at the moment. If people are interested, I'm thinking of adding functionality to save your list online, create a "shopping list" and share colour schemes.

Hopefully someone else will find it useful too:

Just downloaded your Paint Pot app, great idea!

No more lists in the Notes app for me thanks to your fancy creation.

Thanks!

Not at the moment I'm afraid.

When I build the web side of it, I'll make sure at the very least it works nicely on Android and see what I can do to get it on Google Play.

Sounds like a very good idea. Might be good to add a picture with the colour if possible in the future - that way you can compare if what you have is close enough to what you want to be able to make do.

Just downloaded it thanks.

Do you have an Apple developer account for some other Apps or did you get one just for this?

It's my company's developer account, we built the app as a little side project.

Great idea. Haven't checked it out yet and with minimal to no hobbying going on for me I have no current use for it but I appreciate how helpful it must be.

Looks very useful, I have a Google spreadsheet where I have the same data and use the Reminders app as a shopping list. This could replace those two separate things as my one paint list. Unfortunately I can't install it to my iPhone running iOS 6.

Other things I track with my spreadsheet are the old Citadel and Vallejo equivalencies since I still have lots of old Citadel paints and occassionally buy Vallejo instead. Showing the equivalencies could be useful in the app too.

A great idea. Are you able to do one for Vallejo please?

I like the idea of having the conversion chart for the old colours on there - most tutorials and tips I pick up have the old colours on there.

I think adding Vallejo colours is a good idea too. I need to update it so all paints can be edited remotely - at the moment all the data is in the app when it ships, and I've already spotted a few mistakes!

Trying to balance working on the app with actually painting at the moment!
