### 2/5 — Could be great but isn’t

*2024-06-30, version 1.28*

This could be an awesome app!  It’s just way too buggy.  Crashes a lot.  Looses your builds.  Doesn’t show ships you’ve added to your collection.  Ect.  If they fixed the bugs it would be worth paying for.

### 3/5 — Okay, could be way better if bugs are fixed

*2024-03-31, version 1.28*

I really wish this app were better. Most of the time it is okay for building things, but it crashes a ton when you try and edit names, delete lists, or add things. So many times it will break what I have been doing. Normally I am fine with this, but today I spent over an hour editing lists and then went back in to look at it after dinner and everything was gone that I had changed, which was so frustrating. It also deleted random loadouts for some of my ships, even ones that weren’t edited. It hurts to know that a lot of my hard work and research just got flushed down the drain. I don’t want to show up to a game and find that my list is deleted or a ship’s loadout has been removed and I have to do things from scratch again.

### 1/5 — Broken and Abandoned

*2024-02-20, version 1.28*

This app appears to be abandoned and will no longer download the data it needs to work.   The app does not work at all in 2024.  Unless the developers fix this, then this app should be removed from the App Store.

### 1/5 — Download library failed

*2024-01-06, version 1.28*

Cannot download any deck info , thus unable to build any fleet

### 4/5 — Overall good helpful app

*2023-10-01, version 1.28*

This is a very helpful app. Some things I would love to see added:
For upgrade cards that add extra upgrade slots, figure a way to actually add the upgrade slot to te ship 
Dearth Vader’s tie defender crashes the app.

### 1/5 — Many bugs

*2023-08-15, version 1.28*

This app has a number of user bugs.  The auto filter for unique squadrons causes more head aches than it helps.  There are numerous stability problems even with the most recent version causing for near constant crashes.

Saved fleets occasionally become corrupted and just lose components of the list.

### 4/5 — Great, but a little buggy

*2023-06-28, version 1.28*

I Absolutely love this app.  Only complaint is that it crashes often and there is a bug in the current version: You cannot select two named squadrons of the same ship type.  For example:  you cannot select Luke Skywalker (X-Wing squadron) and Wedge Antilles (X-wing squadron), even if you haven’t maxed out your ace squadron limit of 4 (400pt game).

### 3/5 — App has potential

*2023-05-29, version 1.28*

App has potential, crashes too often though, with many card that are unusable and force crash every time

### 4/5 — Awesome app but needs help

*2023-05-03, version 1.28*

Let me start by saying how awesome I think it is that you have created this app! It has to be a labor of love for sure. So thank you! The only negative thing for me is that the app keeps deleting my fleets! It will not save them! Please fix this so I can change this review to 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2023-03-28*

crashes when adding an a-wing squadron.  is not saved with this half of the data.
