Ratings and reviews

The app is great when you can use it. There is "problems" (app doesn't tell you what that problem is) when I try to sign up for a my warhammer account; even if you get into the app there is 0 way to see rules or make lists unless you ALSO buy a $60 physical copy of the rules you want. No subscription to access rules, no way to purchase digital access to rules, you MUST buy a physical rulebook which requires downloading FAQs since the books are outdated on purchase. Started good, ended awful.

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.

Pretty greedy folks at Game Workshop. I am very disappointed in the overall concept of the app. Would be much better and make more sense if the list builder was a separate one-time buy and the subscription gave access to all the codex's. $60 a year for just more slots on a list builder that doesn't even let you view the details of the army is scummy. I do, however, really like the UI and design of the app.
