Ratings and reviews

The app is pretty useful for checking rules, building lists, and has a special menu that condenses all the rules for your list to use as a reference during play. However, the app slowly becomes less and less functional over time as each new codex paywalls all the information for that army. You can't buy content piecemeal without paying for the physical codex and the monthly sub is very overpriced. Great for rules and building a single army. Bad as a general reference tool.

Works ok, its expensive but if you actually buy the stuff you are "supposed" to its not that bad. Great resource while playing since it puts all your rule cards and stratagems in an easy to find place. It is somehow slower to update rules and points than free resources though which can be annoying.

The app itself is actually pretty fantastic, as long as your faction still only has an index. It's reasonably organized, very responsive, and includes all rules, stratagems, etc. in addition to the datasheets. HOWEVER, as soon as your codex releases, ALL of your faction's info gets locked behind a paywall. The hobby is already expensive enough, at least make the rules more accessible.
