No easy way to import GW models or paints. No tyranids or alternative models available

I have seen some bad reviews for this, but they’re all from a couple years ago and I do not believe they do it justice. I’ve been using this for a little bit now and it’s everything I wanted!

All the images show a space marine as an example. It was the only reason I wanted the app. They are the models I collect. The app has no space marine image!!!! So disappointed

The product is great for painting the 40 models in the system. But they are for ranges I don’t really collect.

Please add Warhammer 40K .SVG models to your app as well as citadel paint colours references as it will really boost your app popularity!

Overall the ability to try out paint schemes before applying it to the model is great and gives you an idea of what the finished model would look like. Unfortunately the app doesn’t explain anything to you. It doesn’t explain or make it clear how to import other miniatures from files people have created which was a big selling point for me since the very limited range already installed on the app is poor. After a while I gave up trying to figure it out and deleted the app. Even the website doesn’t explain how to do anything which is a shame. I may try the app again further down the line.

The UI is a bit clunky, and I’m running into some issues with the touch locations for some buttons (particularly in the bottom right). On large models it can be annoying trying to pick out individual parts but that isn’t really the app’s fault For some reason all of the pop-up tool tips are in German which is more funny than it is annoying. Importing models and paints was strange but doable. The reddit community r/impcat has good guides for doing this. Overall, it’s useful and not all that expensive at £3 so I’m happy with it

The app is a great way to try bold colours and save time

The app itself is impressive, but impractical. There is a very limited range of models available inside the app, and no sensible way to import models which represent your collection - even if they’re available. Creating your own appears to rely on expensive 3rd party software. Regretfully, I have to conclude this app isn’t ready for me to use.

Not really user friendly, and could really use a UI design team to fix this. Having a wider database of models would help as well. I’m a warhammer painter and there’s just too many hoops to jump through to put time into this for now. Maybe when it gets some updates I’ll revisit the app. Cool idea, so I hope this all works out in the end.
