I’m dumbfounded at the fact that they had an opportunity to update and fix the problems that The previous app had, but not only did they not do that, but they actually made things worse! You have to meticulously click through each unit and their abilities to toggle down menus in order to read their abilities and stats. None of the stats and abilities are laid out in the same way They are from their books. And just like before, if you want to know details about your army battle traits or battle formations, you can’t find that in your army list. You have to tap over to the reference tab and dig around until you find what you need. Is it that hard to put everything in one place guys? If you’re gonna start asking people to pay for this, you better make some big changes because I for sure am not going to. I’ve been Warhammer plus subscriber since the beginning and it’s ironic that once you start making me have to pay for this, I’ll actually become incentivized to cancel my subscription. Is it a radical thought to Utilize the very thoughtful and laid out information format that you’ve come up with for AOS warscrolls in the books? Theyre color-coded and have handy symbols. Absolutely none of that is brought over to this app. It’s painfully obvious an outside company was brought on to make this who had nothing to do with the game developers, and all of the thought that went into the actual book warscrolls and information was ignorantly left behind. do better guys. Just do better.

The app does not have a Landscape Mode for the iPad.The app does not sync Armies from your iPad to your Phone and vice versaThe warscrolls on the app should automatically expand all the drop downs. There are way too many clicks to get through this. Basically having to click and expand, the scroll down, the click to expand the next one, and the those even may have abilities that need to be clicked and expanded as well. Not very user friendly.The app warscrolls are not consistently designed the same as the cards, for example, the move/health/save/control should be in the same design as the faction packs to make things consistent and clear.Should add a “Command Bunker” option like in the Warhammer 40,000 appThe app should walk you through each step for creating your army, especially with regiments.Would be nice to be able to have an indication on the warscrolls if it would go over your points total for the army before adding them. There is a swiping problem when going into warscrolls in your army that double swipes back and forth. There is a bug on the iOS version where if you go into a warscrolls and swipe back, then go into another warscrolls and swipe back, it takes you to the first warscrolls and so on. It would be nice to have a mode where you could setup a battle and add your army and the enemies army to keep track of points and rounds.

This app feels like a lazy theme swap version of the current 40k app, and like it was made by a web developer that doesn’t have any experience with the game itself. The list builder is clunky and the way you add spell lores etc through the bottom of a list is not well executed. The worst part are the sheer number of expand menus and clicks just to see literally any unit’s abilities. It feels worse than the 40k app’s number of menus but the part that doesn’t make sense is hardly any unit in AoS has anywhere near as many abilities as 40k and thus does not need all abilities minimized upon opening a warscroll. At least give us a settings option to change this. I think the most frustrating part here for me is the absolute best and most enticing reason to use the 40k version of this app was removed here, the command bunker button that gives an army page with all your units’ stats and army rules just a single click away. Incredibly disappointed in the app itself. This review doesn’t even have anything to do with the eventual paywalls of this app. This needs work. I have a lot of friends I was hoping to sell on learning this game this edition but they will be instantly turned off to this game with how confusing this app is.

Locking the Warsacrolls behind a paywall so I can’t even see if I want to buy into an army is ridiculous. I could understand like they did in 3rd edition where the faction rules were locked, but at least you could see the rules for the models and see what your opponents can do. Now I have to spend $60 per army to see the rules AFTER buying the $230 starter box? On top of that you have to pay for a subscription service to use the army build beyond the first army?!?! Greed abound. Don’t support this business practice. Subscription services would be fine, $6 a month for the app is whatever, or waive the sub fee with the purchase of a book. Not both. Way to make entry into the game even harder for new players. Back to Warmachine.
