It’s way out of date. ### 4/5 — Logistics *2026-02-17, version 2.03.15* Are the backbone of any army, love how this app leaves to fighting to the table top and not with lost paper lists or clumsy electronic ones ### 2/5 — Crashing *2025-12-03, version 2.03.15* Every time I try to add a gaslands list the app crashes, but doesn’t when making lists for other games. ### 5/5 — Good stuff *2025-10-31, version 2.03.15* Great app. ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-10-11, version 2.03.15* Need updates for more current adaptations ### 5/5 — Truly essential *2025-09-28, version 2.03.15* The app does what it says on the tin. I use both the iOS version on my phone and hosted on my Mac. Both are well laid out and intuitive tools Being able to play battles with all the special rules coalesced into one place has revolutionised the game for me. Please keep up the good work!! ### 5/5 — Amazing and Handy *2025-09-10, version 2.03.15* Super flexible options, and my go to for making army lists when it comes to the Horus Heresy ### 3/5 — Good App *2025-09-03, version 2.03.15* Good app but it’s pretty much abandonware now ### 5/5 — Great solution to list building *2025-09-02, version 2.03.15* The app is great for building lists for mordheim kill team warcry warhammer 40k ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2025-09-01, version 2.03.15* Honestly this app has been a lifesaver for both my gaming and sanity. It is very easy to use and full of great information ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No longer supported? *2026-08-30, version 2.03.15* Used to be an amazing app, seems to have been abandoned. ### 1/5 — Abandonware for profit *2026-07-08, version 2.03.15* The app was previously pulled off the app store due to the creator having an out of date card. Previously he went years without any improvements or updates but profited off the ad revenue it generated and was left afloat by the individuals who updated the resources for free. He then promised consistent updates on progress and disappeared again after two months. Save yourself the trouble ### 1/5 — No Support *2026-06-16, version 2.03.15* Apps developers and overall team have shifted to New Recruit. This app is no longer being updated in any fashion. ### 1/5 — Better alternatives. *2026-04-02, version 2.03.15* The battle scribe developer has abandoned development of the app. Slowly more and more bugs and issues are creeping into the he app. There are now several alternatives that use the same data sources. ### 1/5 — Actually what *2026-01-25, version 2.03.15* Huh don’t know what’s going on feel like my internet just got hacked ### 1/5 — Abandonware, avoid. *2025-12-24, version 2.03.15* Use New recruit or a superior alternative. Abandoned years ago by the developer. Last update was just to stop apple dropping it from the store. ### 1/5 — Out of date, useless *2025-11-14, version 2.03.15* 40K 10th edition and new killteam stuff isn’t on this app. Used to be good when it was updated. Now worthless ### 1/5 — Abandonware *2025-11-04, version 2.03.15* No longer properly supported for 10th ### 1/5 — No loner supported. *2025-10-21, version 2.03.15* Title speaks for itself. ### 1/5 — BattleScribe Fails *2025-09-05, version 2.03.15* Was working great, but I cannot sign into my account anymore. I don’t know the cause, but due to this issue, I have stopped using this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It puts the gor *2026-05-27, version 2.03.15* In my gutz ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-28, version 2.03.15* Easy to use.
