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.

Great app with an easy to use interface. i use it all the time to create lists, review rules, and faqs. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is because you're not allowed to purchase digital codes for each codex. Instead, you have to purchase a physical an already outdated book to receive a code. This is a waste of paper, time, and money. I would like to have a choice of buying physcial or digital codexes.

I really enjoy the app, and it's more convenient than flipping through several books and printed FAQs to find the rule I am looking for. I also appreciate that the team is on top of rule changes and FAQs. I rate the app only 3 stars because unit datasheets should not be locked behind a paywall. Let alone only available after an expensive physical book purchase. Especially when those datasheets were free before the codex release.
