This app single-handedly revived my enthusiasm for the game. Returned after stopping during 2.0 and this app neatly explains all the rules and phases. The realtime score card was the cherry on top, I am blown away!

Stay in the loop.
New
- Notifications: get a heads-up when there's news about the app. You're asked once; turn them off any time in your phone's settings.
1.12.5 7h ago
Obstacles, and clearer ship costs.
New
- Pick the three obstacles your list brings. Each one shows its shape, so you can match it to the piece on your table. Your picks sync across devices and are included when you share or export a squad.
Changed
- X2PO: a ship card now shows the pilot plus its upgrades, with a line breaking the total down.
1.12.4 1d ago
Feedback improvement.
Changed
- Feedback sent from Settings now includes your app version, so reports can be matched to the build you are running.
1.12.2 2d ago
Squad builder and damage card fixes.
Fixed
- Engine Upgrade, Expert Handling and Tactical Officer now require their red action. Engine Upgrade is no longer offered to ships with a white Boost, including a T-65 with S-foils.
- Damage cards on a pilot no longer get cut off: faceup crits share the row and the card grows to fit.
- R7-T1 no longer shows a phase reminder for an ability it does not have.
Changed
- Tablets: the Squads and Campaign tabs now sit at the top of the side panel.
1.12.1 4d ago
Fly any ship in your campaign.
Added
- HOTAC: bring any non-huge Rebel ship as a homebrew ship. It starts with the slots printed on its card and gains more through your XP path.
- Flight Group Alpha: fly the Alpha-class Star Wing, Gauntlet, Lambda shuttle or VT-49 Decimator as homebrew ships.
- Flight Group Alpha: Crew slots now offer Crew cards, bought with U&M at their squad cost.
Changed
- New campaign pilots start on XWA, and you pick the rule set right after the campaign.
1.12.0 Sep 24
Change who's flying a ship without rebuilding it.
Added
- Tap a pilot's name on a fielded ship to swap in a different pilot on the same chassis, keeping the ship and every upgrade that still fits. Anything that no longer fits is removed and you're told why.
Fixed
- The Squads/Campaign tab on the home screen no longer jumps back to Campaign every time you leave and return to a squad, or on a fresh app open, while a campaign game is paused.
1.11.0 Sep 23
Custom XP path for HOTAC pilots.
Added
- Build a custom XP path for a HOTAC pilot: choose what each Initiative adds, tap several slot types to make a slot that accepts any of them, and add as many slots as you like. Talent and Force slots can also hold pilot abilities. The path follows the pilot when you swap ships and syncs across your devices.
1.10.0 Sep 22
Card accuracy fixes.
Fixed
- Intimidation and In It For The Money were offered to the wrong pilots. Both cards print "Limited", so they now go on limited (dot) pilots only. A saved squad that carries one on a generic pilot will show as illegal, which it always was.
- R7-T1 showed Flight-Assist Astromech's ability text. The card prints no ability at all, and now grants the linked action on its card instead: a white Lock into a red Boost.
- Hera Syndulla (New Republic General) coordinates a friendly ship at range 1-3, not 0-3.
- DIS-L9B2 was missing the recurring Charge its card prints, which its own ability spends.
- Thweek's ability began with a stray letter.
1.9.1 Sep 11
Heroes of the Aturi Cluster campaign pilots.
New
- Campaign pilots: a dedicated sheet with the campaign's own upgrade slot progression, XP spent on upgrades and Initiative, ship changes for a fee, and a service record of kills and objectives.
- Play a campaign pilot: start a solo board straight from the sheet.
- Campaign pilots sync to your account and open on the web app.
Improved
- The in-game "This phase" reminders now print in full, so finishing an ability no longer means opening a card and scrolling back.
- Campaign sheets use two columns on tablets and unfolded foldables.
- Copy XWS moved into the squad share menu, beside Share link and Share as text.
Fixed
- The game board could become unreachable when a phase raised a lot of reminders.
1.9.0 Sep 10
X-Wing First Edition (1.0) support
- Build 1.0 squads with 1.0 points, pilots and upgrades, including Epic huge ships
- Play locally or live against another player, with 1.0 phases, green dials, energy, and both 1.0 damage decks (huge ship decks included)
- The rules reference carries First Edition text, and My Hangar counts 1.0 and 2.0 models as the same miniature
Match history
- New Match audit screen: rounds collapse to summaries with health strips, and every dice roll expands to show each modification step
- Drag the timeline to reveal timestamps
- Both squad lists are saved with every new game; tap to view or save either one
- Share any match as text, and delete matches you no longer want
Live play
- See every dice roll on the board as it happens, with modified dice marked and rolls clearing each round
- Spend evade tokens right in the dice tray, with each edition's own rule
Plus crisper icon rendering everywhere and many smaller fixes.
1.8.0 Sep 8
Fixed the ship list in the squad builder claiming ship abilities that only some of a chassis' pilots print. Choosing a TIE/ln Fighter no longer promises Formed Up, and the TIE/in Interceptor now correctly shows Autothrusters rather than a scenario pack's ability. Seventeen chassis were affected. Every pilot card still shows its own ship ability exactly as printed.
Removed the Buy Me a Coffee link from Settings. If you would like to support development, it now lives on squadrondatapad.com.
1.7.2 Sep 2
Epic wings: build a formation in the squad builder. Pick a leader, give it a Command card, then choose the wingmates it flies with. During play the whole wing is one card on the board, moving on the leader's dial, and every wingmate keeps its own pilot card, upgrades and abilities. Wingmates can leave formation and rejoin when the game calls for it.
Sort and filter your squad list. Order by name, how recently you updated it, how full a squad is against its own points cap, your win record, or faction, and flip the direction with one tap. Filter by faction, rule set, or whether a squad is currently legal.
Share a squad as plain text, ready to paste anywhere.
Game data: the wing leader Command cards now carry the restrictions their card faces print, Alpha-3B "Besh" grants its printed Device slot, and Carnor Jax carries his printed subtitle and Force stat.
1.7.0 Aug 26
Multifaction squads: pick the new Multifaction option when creating a squad and build with ships from any faction. Rebels flying alongside TIEs, droids escorting clones, whatever your collection allows. Faction-locked upgrades still require a matching ship, and everything else validates as usual.
Squad points at a glance: every squad on your list now shows its points total right under the faction badge, aligned with the ship lineup.
Game data: XWA points updated to 50P2.1.
1.6.0 Aug 18
Remote upgrades (the Commando Teams, DRK-1 Probe Droids, Discord Missiles and Sensor Buoys) now show their full deployed profile on the upgrade card: initiative, attack with range band, agility, hull and charges. Visible in the squad builder and mid-game, so the numbers are there when the remote is on the mat.
Cards that remove a slot (Drop-Seat Bay, Havoc, Punishing One) now really remove it. If a saved squad carried a card in a slot these cards remove, it will now show a validation error: that combination was never legal, and the builder now enforces it.
X2PO fixes, verified against the official points sheet: the Alpha-class Star Wing's configurations (Os-1 Arsenal Loadout, Xg-1 Assault Configuration) and four pilots (Warden Squadron Pilot, Ved Foslo, Paige Tico, Saesee Tiin) are available in Standard again. The Gauntlet title now correctly adds its Crew slot.
Anakin Skywalker (Hero of Coruscant) can now equip Malice.
1.5.0 Aug 15
My Hangar: log the ship miniatures you own, search your collection, and see owned ships first in the squad builder. Syncs across your devices.
Keep tokens through the End Phase (Kraken, Moldy Crow), recorded in the match log.
Rules Reference lists every bomb and mine card with its detonation effect, and rules text now updates without an app update.
Huge ship Energy tracking with end of round recovery.
Fixes: Maul's Dark Side upgrades, Republic Z-95 weapon slot, New Squad sheet keyboard.
1.4.0 Aug 4
Scenario play: pick a scenario, track mission points, and see objectives each round. Condition cards: attach conditions to ships during a game, with search. Ship points and half-points visible during play. Upgrade requirements shown before you equip. X2PO Wild Space format with its 250 point cap. Rules Reference adds obstacle, collision and scenario rules. Firing arc icons in the ship and pilot pickers. Smarter rule set detection on XWS import. Many card data fixes.

New features
- Squad builder: duplicate a ship together with its full loadout
- Force and Charge stats on pilot cards, expandable upgrade cards, and a faster upgrade picker
- Epic squads: set your own point cap, reorder ships, and give each ship a marking (A, 2, Red 3) that replaces automatic duplicate numbering in play

- Green tokens are now offered for every ship in the token picker

Refreshed the faction colors to match the community palette.
1.1.3 Jul 11
General bug fixes and improvements.
1.1.2 Jul 11
On tablets, a revealed maneuver dial in the ship rail now shows the proper maneuver icon (bank, turn, or straight arrow) instead of a stray character. Stay on target.
1.1.1 Jul 9
This update fixes a rules pop-up that could show the wrong help text when you press and hold an upgrade card during a game, and polishes wording throughout the app. Stay on target.
1.1.0 Jul 8
- Fixed a scrolling issue on the squad list where the top squad card could get stuck partly cut off — most noticeable right after signing in or out. You can now always scroll back up to it.
- Pull-to-refresh now activates only when you're at the very top of the list, so it no longer interrupts a normal scroll.
- Minor tidy-up of the iOS Home Screen app name.
1.0.1 Jul 1
Stay in the loop.
New
- Notifications: get a heads-up when there's news about the app. You're asked once; turn them off any time in your phone's settings.
