### 5/5 — Great 1.0 Squad Builder

*2019-11-16, version 1.3.4*

Easily the best version 1.0 X-Wing squad builder out there.  I use it to track what I have and see what I can build or what I need to try and purchase. It may not work for 2.0 but it’s still better than that mess, and if you continue to play the original game, this app is a must have. 

Great job to the devs making sure all 1.0 content is there and supported. I’m sure it was tough when the new edition launched, but well done. Thanks for a great app!

### 2/5 — No 2.0 support

*2018-10-08, version 1.3.4*

The game has changed, the app has not

### 5/5 — 2.0

*2018-09-19, version 1.3.4*

Any plans for a 2.0 app? This is the cleanest easiest to use squad building app.

### 5/5 — Favorite Squad Builder App

*2018-09-17, version 1.3.4*

I’ve used 3 Squad Builder Apps for X-wing and this is my favorite. The others don’t have a ‘copy pilot’ for generic pilots. Plus Aurora has a Notes Feature which is very handy for ideas and battle records. And I also like the win/loss/draw tracker for each Squad as well. 
I sincerely hope that you’ll make a version for X-wing 2.0. I’ll definitely get a copy of it!

### 4/5 — Hoping for more

*2018-09-17, version 1.3.4*

The best squad builder that I’ve personally used. Solid UI and great miscellaneous features that I’d taken for granted now that I’ve had to transition away for 2nd Edition. Has the occasional crash, but still hoping to see support for 2nd Edition.

### 5/5 — Very helpful app.

*2018-09-07, version 1.3.4*

This app is very helpful. It makes squad building much easier. It asks what sets you have. When building a squad it highlights the ships that you own. It has every ship and upgrade card in the game and all of their abilities and stats are shown when you select a ship or card. The only downside it that it doesn’t tell you which upgrade cards you own as all of them are highlighted.

### 5/5 — Best app for X-Wing

*2018-08-09, version 1.3.4*

I’ve used this app for a little over a year. I’ve used other squad builder apps as well, but this is by far my favorite and the easiest to use. Support for the app has been stellar, and when I’ve reported bugs, I received feedback (and then the bugs were fixed). With X-Wing 2.0 coming, I don’t know if the plan is to maintain this app, upgrade it to support 2.0, start a new app, or call it quits. I hope you guys keep it going, but if not, I’d like to say thanks.

### 3/5 — Best App but

*2018-04-22, version 1.3.3*

I love the app and I have been building many decks but when I went to build a deck with Dengar the app says he has no torpedos when on the card it says he has two

### 1/5 — Solid 3 stars if it would launch and not crash

*2018-04-07, version 1.3.3*

A decent app when it works. Developers seem too focused on graphics and less on functionality.

### 5/5 — Great app! Thank you!

*2018-02-22, version 1.3.3*

I have used this app now for around a year. It is in my top 3 most used apps. I know there was an update that introduced some bugs but I appreciate that you are working to resolve them. Fantastic work. Well done.
