Ratings and reviews

Anti-consumer practices abound! You have to pay a ridiculous amount of money for models. Fine. Have to pay for subscription to use app. Cool, I get all the rules, right? Nope! You have to pay MORE money to access rules. Around $60 USD per army for a book that will only be valid for 6months-2 years. There are 27 different armies. Around $1500 to access full rules.

Everything is being locked behind multiple pay walls, including units. In order to make more than one list at a time, you will need a subscription. In order to view any rules for an army whose book has been released, you will need to purchase said book. This includes the units. You can't even view what a unit is equipped with, or what they do, or how many models are in the unit, unless you buy the book for that faction.

Being able to quickly look jp various rules like the difference between different damage types is super helpful, but with how much content is essentially paywalled at a minimum of $60 per faction (as you need each respectively codex), I can't really recommend the app. Plus, from what it sounds like, subscribing gives you access to previous editions, making it feel kind of pointless when everyone is playing the most current edition.
