### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2023-01-13, version 1.28*

When I try to add select squadrons the app crashes and closes.  A-Wings and Green Squadron are two examples.  About a 1/4 of the Rebel squadrons cause a crash, as well as some Imperial squadrons.  I didn’t even try the other factions.  App is of no use if you can’t add squadrons.

### 2/5 — Nice but badly flawed

*2023-01-09, version 1.28*

The list building is great, allowing to set your fleet size and how many squadrons you can take, but the app fails to save any list, every time I make a list and back out of it, it just reverts back one ship and deletes everything else in the list, makeing it useful for save int any kind of fleet list

### 3/5 — Great but buggy

*2022-11-04, version 1.27*

Great interface and functionality, but crashes a lot and then often doesn’t save fleet changes you’ve made in the past few hours…

### 2/5 — Great… when it works.

*2022-05-23, version 1.25*

I used to love this app. I had 3 lists for each side built up for the friends I play with and myself. But the last year or so, it will not stop crashing. I want to leave a better review, but the bugs have got to stop for the app to be useable. It never crashes in the same spot either. Sometimes it won’t load, sometimes it’s when I try getting to a different section like collection or upgrade cards, sometimes it’s in a list when trying to add a ship or a card.

### 4/5 — Great app.  Doesn’t have everything right.

*2022-05-13, version 1.25*

I love this app for building my fleets.  Message to developers:  The new 1.5 squadron rule is, each fleet can have 1 unique squadron with defense tokens per 100 points.  Some of the unique squadrons from the campaign boxes have unique names but do not have defense tokens.  They are not affected by this new rule but your app removes them from my choice pool after I have 4 uniques with defense tokens as if they are affected by this rule.

### 3/5 — The crashes..

*2022-04-25, version 1.25*

It’s a great app, love the features, the ability to build out my fleets.  But the constant crashes.. my son and I both have it on our phones, but every other click crashes the app, takes forever to build a fleet.

### 4/5 — Great app, some ‘repairs’ needed

*2022-02-04, version 1.25*

It works well for most things except that some cards in the republic and separatist expansions aren’t done properly (eg. providence dreadnought title) and I can’t add ordnance upgrades to more than one ship in the fleet. Otherwise an excellent app.

### 4/5 — Great but…

*2022-01-13, version 1.25*

After the most recent update it crashes every time I open the app. Loved the app when it worked and was super excited they added the clone wars and can’t wait until they fix it

### 3/5 — Really good app

*2021-05-07*

But not useful right now since the stats for Armada 1.5 are not implemented yet.

### 4/5 — Needs updating

*2021-04-17, version 1.24*

While this app is good it needs updating no clone wars or errated cards in here.

### 4/5 — Not updated

*2021-03-27, version 1.24*

Great app, very intuitive... unfortunately doesn’t seem to have been updated to include the GCW factions.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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

### 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.

### 1/5 — Crash

*2023-03-28*

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

### 1/5 — Too many crashes

*2022-10-29, version 1.27*

App would be useful except:
- crashes nearly every time you add a ship or upgrade
- deletes ships from lists seemingly at random
- when the user tries to delete a list, it will instead delete a ship or upgrade seemingly at random
- doesn’t consistently save from few minutes prior

If not for these issues it would be the best fleet builder for Armada but these make it unusable.

### 1/5 — Update error

*2021-10-24, version 1.24*

It was a really great app until the last update. I have been using this app for years and it’s really great. It’s now telling me it’s in the wrong format and it can’t update. Which I could care less about, if it wasn’t for the fact that I can’t use any of the functions of the app now.

### 1/5 — No longer supported by the developer

*2021-09-03, version 1.24*

This app is no longer supported by the dev as evidenced by the lack of Clone Wars content. If it were to be updated, I’d give it a 4 star rating but for now it’s practically worthless.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2021-04-30, version 1.24*

App is great but it is no longer being updated so it causes more problems than it’s worth currently.

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2021-04-19, version 1.24*

Great app but no longer being updated. Has not received the card changes from 1.5 or updated since wave 8.

### 1/5 — Tolle App

*2021-03-24*

Funktioniert nur leider derzeit nicht

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Won’t let me add expansions or make lists

*2022-06-29, version 1.25*

When I open the app it immediately tries to update but then it says that the update failed due to a network issue despite me having decent network and being connected to the internet. It still lets me touch buttons on the app but it won’t let me add expansions onto it so I cannot add ships or squadrons onto fleets. I haven’t fully experienced the app so I can’t give it a bad rating and I love armada so for now I’ll give it a 5 stars.

### 5/5 — The only fleet builder

*2022-03-16*

The only fleet builder in IOS a bit buggy but workable just needs a review, plo Kun as a commander has a value of 0 points and it’s wrong

### 5/5 — Back in action!

*2022-01-18, version 1.25*

I was thrilled when I opened this app as I do every few months to see if it’s updated and this time it was! This has always been my go-to Armada app and I’m so happy to see it’s been brought back to life!

### 5/5 — Pretty good app but needs an update

*2021-02-08*

Hi ! will you do an update with the new version of Armada 1.5 ?

### 5/5 — Definitely one of the better fleet builders out there

*2020-12-21, version 1.24*

So much better and easier to use than battlescribe. Use it for fleet building armada. It’s just so easy to use and a lot of the bugs and crashing issues have been fixed. Can’t wait for them to add the clone wars stuff.

### 5/5 — Super App für Star Wars Armada Spieler

*2020-12-03*

Kann ich für Armada Spieler nur empfehlen. Gute UI, man kann seine Flotte schnell zusammenbauen und verwalten.

### 5/5 — Perfect to make your fleets

*2020-11-27*

Very useful and has a friendly UX I recommend this app for all armada players. I hope the owner update for clone wars expansion 🤗

### 5/5 — Must have!

*2020-05-16*

Thanks for this app! It's a must have for all Armada players. Love it!

### 5/5 — Latest Update!

*2020-02-21, version 1.23*

Thank you for adding the Onager and Starhawk expansions! Found a small bug - not able to add a super weapon to the Onager

### 5/5 — Glitch

*2020-02-19, version 1.23*

I love the app and I’m glad you added the new expansions, but now the app will crash whenever I open it and it automatically tries to load the new stuff
