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.

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...

Easy to use, good UI, command center makes running an army very useful and a search bar to search rules references has been very helpful when I run into wierd rules situations. It is still missing some key features that would make it fantastic such as a import/export option for lists, a tab to track my collection would be huge as well as folders for my lists, once you go past 5 lists it gets messy and hard to keep track of everything.
