Can not login

Bought the codex but can not even login from my iphone. Well this is so games workshop. Good work.

Non functional

If you are using as a list builder it completely non functional. Even after paying the 10$ a month to subscribe you couldn’t use it to build a knight list if you tried. It doesn’t seem the list builder actually fully works for any army. Stick with battle scribe for free at least it works and they put an effort in

Useless away from wifi, still has loads of problems

Wish there was a way to turn automatic rules updating off so that this thing was usable away from wifi. Basically unusable outside my house because on startup the app automatically looks for rules updates before it lets you do anything else and coverage isn’t great out here. Sometimes even with wifi it takes interminably long to load and I have decent internet speed.

Wargear options in the army builder don’t load in a consistent fashion, and sometimes don’t load at all. Some datasheets are weirdly unavailable in the army builder itself, like Drop Pods.

It’s a great idea but the execution is not.

Avoid

Stuck in an Endless cycle of App attempting to link my GamesWorkshop account with my Warhammer account.
Needless and frustrating complications stopping me from accessing content I have already paid for.
I’m sticking with Battlescribe

This actually costs money and only has Matched Play

So let’s suppose you downloaded this app and wanted to play Warhammer 40K. Were you planning on Matched Play GT? Because that’s all you can use this for. Period. Open Play, Crusade, Narrative, etc are simply not present in the app. Again, this would be fine if the app was called “The 40K Universal Match Play App that uses quarterly dataslates”.

So you just bought a 40K codex and some data cards right? And you were like, I’ll go download the app, make a list and use my codex. Well, nope. How about my data cards? Nope. Why? Again, that information has all changed like 4-6 times so it’s unreliable for Matched Play games. And again, that’s all this app does. The points, changes to the codex and data cards invalidate your codex and well, your data cards. For example, is your Tau Stormsurge 330 points or 400? Is you Custode Stratagem 2 CP use every round or 3 CP and one time use? Is that Admech unit core? Not core? Core again? The app invalidates the hard copy stuff. And since it doesn’t account for non-matched play you’re essentially buying a worthless book and deck of cards.

GamesWorkshop needs to finish this app and include printed codex/data card points/rules. No weird sideways excuses either, just finish your product.

Only thing missing is Kill Team

This app has so much potential. I can easily reference any rule book or codex in print and keep track of my armies. I realize that this app is still a work in progress but the $5 sub fee for the Warhammer+ experience is well worth it considering the physical books average around $30-$50+ each.

As the title of my review states, the only thing really missing are the Kill Team books and army builder feature. Kind of irritated that the Kill Team app that came out in 2019 is no longer available in the meantime though.

Heresy

Can barely access anything without subscription

Could be better

It’s a decent app, but the entire point of it is to be able to use it offline, which doesn’t work. That, and maybe two or three free codices.

Functionality missing

Many options in codexes are missing point values (e.g. Exarch powers, kustom jobs).

Incorrect information in codex

In a codex that I own there is a out of date text. It reads rules from the 8th edition codex instead of the 9th edition codex which the code originated from.
