I am reposting a review I did over at MA a few months back since the developer has emailed me today about an update. First the original review:


Oops...

at €5.46 its not cheap. i just had a go of the free version tbh i dont think its worth that, the color conversion thing is kinda handy lets you see the color other than that i see no real use in it.

thats not to say anyone else will find this handy

I use the free edition as well...I can deal with the ads

I like the mixer feature...even if it's an approximation

Doesn't seem to be a version for Android....

Doesn't seem to be a version for Android....

there are similar apps , like the color picker but not specific to model paint brands

Hey guys...I had someone else bring that up...I sent him an email about it earlier today so we'll see...I'll update here with his reply...

 

[Jeeves]

Got his reply...

Sorry for droid users, we don't have any plan for a release The main reason is that the development environments are too different (Objective C vs Java, SDKs...) and that we are too small as a company (yet ?) to handle this. The other reasons are that the Droid market is too limited yet and that there is too many different hardware to handle. It's the same for Windows Phone OS. However, this is not a definitive answer !

Sorry guys...hopefully someone else will step up on the Droid front...

That was my thought as well. Android is growing far faster than iOS
