Ratings and reviews

App itself works fine with a decent UI that looks good and does what is needed for the basic game. Basically, it's just a somewhat more convenient version of the physical rulebooks/codexes. They really should include a CP, VP, and maybe even unit health counter in the app when in the "command bunker" tab. They could also maybe have a tutorial mode or something to walk new players through their turns? Subscription is a worthless money grab after already paying for codexes, plastic, etc.

The app itself is wonderful, the subscription price is solid, unfortunately as you'll see in other reviews, the codex's are still required if you pay the subscription fee which is kind of bullock. the plus side is it is locally store so there's not a always online DRM, very nice. means you can just have a old device sit offline to avoid any updates if you wanted, (extra so with 11th upcoming). If the sub gave you everything during that time. I think it's be fine. codex's should be forever.

Honestly, its an "alright" app, but the fact that 90% of the app is locked behind purchases is ridiculous. Ive already spent thousands on models & paints, terrain etc... , but im not able to look at the rules for them unless I buy a codex is insane. One feature I'd love to see, is a "collection" tab, which everything you buy, you can put into the collection, and look at the breakdown for models/factions/armies. But, I know its probably never gonna happen...
