Also it does not appear to have a way to add allies. ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-07-26* This app is great. The interface could use a little work. Will continue to use and recommend. ### 4/5 — Pretty good, but not perfect *2025-07-24* I’ve found this app is very useful for list writing - all special rules are available, and it’s easy to use. However, when compared to the browser version for desktop, this app doesn’t quite match it. If a unit has a special rule, that effects another special rule, like the rule ‘Terror’, that also gives your unit ‘Fear’, you can only see the rule for ‘Terror’ - it will tell you that you get the extra special rule, but it won’t tell you what it is. The browser version will provide you both. This is a minor problem though, and on the whole, this is still the best app out there. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-07-14* An amazing app has up to date rules and keeps everything organised. ### 5/5 — This app is pretty good *2025-06-14* I like this app. It helps build your Warhammer the old world lists easy and quick. The only problem with the app is they spell easy words like they’re 4 years old. Other than that it’s an app that doesn’t disappoint. ### 4/5 — Feedback *2025-06-05* Great app! A German language option and images of the units would be a nice addition.” ### 5/5 — A very honest app *2025-05-11* A very honest app that does exactly what it promises. Well worth the purchase. ### 4/5 — Great App *2025-04-25* This app is great. The interface could use a little work. Will continue to use and recommend. ### 4/5 — Overall very helpful. *2025-04-13* Despite a handful of spelling errors, I appreciate this app. ### 5/5 — Great app so far! *2025-02-25* I’m really liking this! Making armies so far has been a breeze. One small issue though, I do not see an option to buy any Daemonic Icons for characters that have been given the Daemonic Locus upgrade in the Daemons of Chaos Grand Army. **Developer response:** Hey Reezark_SP! thanks for the review - For the Demonic icon stuff once you add the Demonic Locus option for the unit you will have an extra list option on the main unit page to select icons. If you need any help jump on the discord and we can get you sorted. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-02-15* Very easy to use and bug free ### 5/5 — Awesome App! *2025-01-17* Perfect for really nailing down your point spread. Almost as fun mocking up your army as it is to play them out. ### 5/5 — Good app very useful *2025-01-12* This a very handy list building and rule finding tool! But it does have some flaws, for example when adding in orc boys then tapping on their wargear options the app shuts down which is a bit annoying but apart from the issue it’s a nice app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Buggd *2024-12-19* Seid dem letzten Update wird bei meiner bretonischen Exil Armee ständig Bei allen Einheiten die kommandoabteilung geschlöscht! Sowohl in der Ansicht als auch im Editor. Andere Fraktionen funktionieren Bitte fixen ! ### 1/5 — Everything wrong *2024-12-18, version 1.0.159* All value of the unit its wrong, please check and correct all of them ### 2/5 — Needs updating!! *2024-08-14* To pay for this then find out it has got all the magic items on here for your army is a bit of a rip off !!! **Developer response:** Feel free to join the discord and discuss any issues your having and we can get it resolved. ### 3/5 — This app is pretty good (updated) *2025-08-03* I like this app. It helps build your Warhammer the old world lists easy and quick. The only problem with the app is they spell easy words like they’re 4 years old. Other than that it’s an app that doesn’t disappoint. (Updated part) This app can bring the user to Amazon and I’m trying not to use Amazon and other apps on my smart phone so that really sucks☹️. ### 3/5 — Fantastic potential *2025-06-30* This app has the feeling of becoming something great - what let’s it down is the lack of precision in descriptions of selectable items/special rules, some bugs allowing selection of items that should not be selectable, missing rules, missing options for army composition (open war, grand melee, etc.) however these features have only recently been officially released, so it is understandable that they are not yet included in the app. However, currently there is just no real reason to choose this option over the free list building apps and programs currently out there. ### 3/5 — Internet connection required *2025-03-17* Why does a small, text based, app require internet to work? No option for offline mode. Other than that, large, issue, the app works almost as well as its competitors. There is no advantage to using it over these other versions, which are free. The app has some bugs. Giving error screens of red code looking text when changing something that would make a past choice illegal. Would better if it simply undid that prior choice or gave a professional looking screen. There are also issues when attempting to duplicate units. Sometimes the same kind of red error appears, other times nothing happens, and sometimes it just works. Can be fixed by saving the list and re-entering **Developer response:** Gregor, the app only requires internet if you opt to use the cloud based saving feature - otherwise everything is contained in the app. If your having issues please join the discord and we can fix them. ### 3/5 — it doesn't work on macbook *2025-02-03, version 1.0.166* the app on macbook does not work. as soon as you try to open a new list the app crashes. is it possible to fix it? ### 3/5 — Amazing App just needs work *2024-06-12* I’m loving this new app so far. Building lists is simple and seems accurate. I also enjoy the rules reference section. My only complaint so far is that when viewing a complete list using the game setting/view, there’s no way to view the details about equipped weapons. You can see this information when building a list, but not in the game view. I would love to have that ability in both views. Great start though! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. The view section has improvements coming very soon! ### 4/5 — Good Support for constructing TOW Armins *2025-11-28* Need some modifications to Support more lists. For example a Bretonian Pegasus list. ### 4/5 — This app is pretty good (updated) *2025-08-12* I like this app. It helps build your Warhammer the old world lists easy and quick. The only problem with the app is they spell easy words like they’re 4 years old. Other than that it’s an app that doesn’t disappoint. (Updated part) This app can bring the user to Amazon and I’m trying not to use Amazon and other apps on my smart phone so that really sucks☹️. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Félicitations ! *2026-05-02* La meilleure application pour The Old World ! Bravo pour votre travail, c’est un vrai bonheur de l’utiliser. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2026-02-23* Does everything you need, has most of the rules and it even does the addition for you.

Very helpful. ### 5/5 — Very useful for a learning player! *2026-02-07* I’ve used the app to make a number of different sized lists and used it in multiple games. I actually prefer it to the web based options and it has been particularly useful to help me track the various keyword meanings in the unit profiles. I really appreciate being able to make full use of the app features while in airplane mode to cut down on battery use! ### 5/5 — WOW *2026-02-05* This app is amazing. Best army builder for Old World out there in my opinion. Looks like the creator(s) thought of pretty much everything. Simple to use. All stats and rules ready to go. I love that they took the time to put all of the charts in as well! ### 5/5 — Best app out there. *2026-01-26* Really good. So cheep for what you get. Do it. ### 5/5 — This app rules *2025-11-14* Buy this app. Support these kinds of non-subscription tools ### 5/5 — Best App for Old World *2025-11-12* Can’t always have internet access for Old World Builder: this has all the same functions, and you can save tons of lists. ### 5/5 — La meilleure appli TOW *2025-10-22* Une super appli, mise a jour régulièrement très complète avec un dev hyper réactif, mode edition mode jeu, rappel des règles et accès très intuitifs aux règles spé. J’ai essayé un gd nb d’app web et celle-ci les surpasse toutes. Un accès sur l’appstore mac serait un plus dans le futur --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
