### 1/5 — M3E update?

*2019-08-12, version 4.5*

When?

### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2019-08-06, version 4.5*

Title says it all this is a dead app.

### 3/5 — Purchasing unavailable

*2019-08-01, version 4.5*

Trying to buy the full card list and it keeps crashing or saying purchasing unavailable. I guess I’ll keep my money then.

### 5/5 — Brilliant breachside pal.

*2018-10-09, version 4.5*

This is an awesome app for the Malifaux player/collector.
Logs all the figures you have, the ability to mark off when it is painted is great, it spurs you on to get those Gremlins you bought but have left sitting in a box finished off just so you can get the satisfaction of ticking them off as painted :-)
To have every card and stat for a reasonable one off in app purchase (about the same price as an arsenal deck) is great value.
Totally worth it, one of the best game ‘assistant’ apps out there.

### 1/5 — bug

*2018-10-02*

More than 6 months after I signaled that the "MODEL LIST" is crashing the app on my iPad mini, nothing changed... too bad, it seems that the app would be cool if it worked...

### 4/5 — Bug when hiring totem

*2018-07-26*

I got a bug after last update when hiring totem in a band
1. Program aloud to hire any number of totems... 5 Cherubs for example...
2. When you hired totem “add recruit” button stops working

Please fix

### 5/5 — Love the App

*2018-06-23, version 3.92*

But it needs a landscape mode for iPad!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2018-05-29*

I've received some error about database error. Now all saved crews, games and models info are gone. 
Now the only thing that is usefull for me in this app - is model stat cards.
App is very slow. Slow start. 
UX is bad. UI is not responsive.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2018-03-07*

Maybe the best application ever! All in one!

### 3/5 — Bad things happen

*2018-02-06*

Really good app. So atmospheric, but it still have many bugs.
Neverborn’s bug for example:
You can't choose more than one of Collodi’s totems (Marionette). 

I would suggest to take out marks of Conditions to the crew list during the play. It would be really suitable to see the total volume and kinds of Conditions without opening the hero card. 
Tnx!
