Poor button layout and no clear function. Rigorous requirement to use the built in phase system. The bones are here but they are gross and broken. ### 2/5 — Bugged *2026-02-07, version 1.3.14* Have veteran status, but at some point all the mechs disappear and I only have one lance of about 10 Puma’s. Found a fix, delete the app, redownload, and start over. If I had to pay for this over again, it wouldn’t be worth it, but as is, I keep having to rebuild my lances/stars. Please fix this issue. ### 1/5 — Do not update the newest upgrade ruined the app needs fixing *2026-02-07, version 1.3.14* Just updated the app to the new upgrade now the app does not work . This is app has way to many bugs since it was launched it’s one of the worst ideas catalyst has thought of and needs to be fixed ### 1/5 — Variants? *2026-01-31, version 1.3.12* I had purchased the veterans upgrade thinking that that would unlock all the variants. They’re only about 450 available cards and or Sheets. I was not able to pull together a single lance with the mechs I typically play with. Is this regularly updated or did I just lose $10? ### 1/5 — Dudes!!! *2026-01-27, version 1.3.12* From a meh app to a brick with the latest updates come on folks this has potential to be epic but it just dosnt work ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on iPad ios26.1 *2025-11-27, version 1.3.10* Would love to support, but veteran upgrade just opens a “processing “ menu on an infinite loop. ### 1/5 — Useless incomplete *2025-08-24, version 1.3.10* Battle tech could be so much better if it wasn’t for garbage like this. Get rid of the Luddites who are steering the “steam boat” and catch up to the rest of the industry. ### 2/5 — Almost hot garbage *2025-08-01, version 1.3.10* Need “veteran” for any actual worthwhile features and the list itself is quite small not even all the alpha strike mechs are even available better off just going to one of the sheet websites instead ### 1/5 — Was working but seems broken now *2025-07-25, version 1.3.10* I remember playing around in the app a while back and went in to see how it was working now. Well, in short it doesn’t. There are no mechs to be added. I have the veteran status, and it just seems to have been a wasted promise at this point. Shame really ### 2/5 — Interesting but…. *2025-07-21, version 1.3.10* I cannot get the sheets to sync between the iPad and the iPhone. Plus, I can’t get the iPad to not freeze up when it tries to sync and such. How can this get fixed? ### 1/5 — Do not waste your time! *2025-05-15, version 1.3.10* This is a half baked application that is extremely inferior to the free options available (flechs sheets and Jeff’s BattleTech tools IIC). Whoever is the dev for this app needs to be terminated and replaced with someone more competent. ### 4/5 — Great App, needs more ‘Mechs *2025-04-21, version 1.3.10* This app is fantastic. I would say it would more than rival Flechsheets if CGL added more ‘Mechs. Hoping for continued and more frequent updates. More than happy to support CGL with the Veteran purchase. ### 1/5 — Pretty bad *2025-03-23* Not worth $10 at all. You really didn’t need this at all with the alpha strike. Doesn’t even have mech sheets for classic. Just use flech sheets. It’s free and way better ### 1/5 — Do not purchase *2025-03-19, version 1.2.21* I bought the Veteran upgrade and there are still a huge number of missing mechs. I have a new iPad and this app run extremely slow. Really regret this purchase. Developer clearly doesn’t care about the app. ### 1/5 — No mech builder in veteran *2025-02-17, version 1.2.21* It’s simple. It still says on the main menu that if you upgrade to veteran (At a cost), you will get a full mech builder. That feature never entered the app. Some would call that fraud… ### 1/5 — Still waiting for the mech builder *2025-02-06, version 1.2.21* I paid for veteran status years ago for the sole purpose of having the mech builder. Still not there. You really ought to provide what you charged money for. ### 1/5 — Sadly no development *2025-01-08, version 1.2.21* I really wanted to be excited for this app, but sadly the developers just took the money and didnˋt care to develop the app furthermore as promised. The app hasnt been updated for more than a year. ### 2/5 — Clunky and click heavy *2024-12-17, version 1.2.21* So many clicks are required to do basic admin, it’s easier not to use the app at all. It’s a bureaucracy of nested menus and permissions (Has this mech finished it's turn step? Has that mech finished its turn step?), not a streamlined process to speed the game up. Not fun, and eats time. ### 1/5 — Missing too many of the BASIC mechs *2024-11-14, version 1.2.21* The functionality of the app is fine, but the choice of mechs is bare bones. Here’s an example, NO PANTHER NO CRAB NO TREBUCHET NO VICTOR NO ZEUS NO STALKER I know it’s unrealistic to expect all 2000+ units from Sarna to be here but they should have at least added all the iconic mechs or all the mechs that have Catalyst official minis at a minimum. I can’t enjoy this app properly because frankly I can’t even build a force I have the minis for so what was the point? Two years after purchasing the upgrade version and still feels like a zero effort rip off. ### 3/5 — Great App, need more Mechs *2024-08-10, version 1.2.21* The App is Great! The handling, the Support with the Heat or Hit calculating ist wonderfull. If it hat more mechs in his databank, it Wolldecke be THE App to get your datasheets Foto Battletech. I Hope this App is Not completly abandoned. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It's okay but.... *2026-06-29, version 1.3.14* There are better options out there, which do the same thing with more mech/vehicle/infantry options, for free, and with a much better interface. This isn't bad otherwise. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-05-31, version 1.3.14* I tried searching for an Atlas and that isn’t even an option… CGL you can do better. ### 1/5 — Not really sure it’s worth anything *2026-05-24, version 1.3.14* This app is missing some really basic mechs or the filters are counterintuitive. I’d not recommend this to anyone. Also the $10 veteran upgrade doesn’t add a ton of value. ### 1/5 — No longer supported *2026-04-19, version 1.3.14* Links to the developers website are broken, in app purchases time out and don’t seem to work anymore no mechs available without in app purchase ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-05, version 1.3.14* Avoid, it was badly designed UI that is harder and longer to use than paper or cards - and now it is broken and doesn’t work. Hopeless. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-03-28, version 1.3.14* Missing a ton if works ### 1/5 — Needs work *2026-03-25, version 1.3.14* There are free tools out there that already surpass this application and don’t immediately ask for money. I would have expected better tbh. ### 1/5 — Still terrible after years.. *2026-03-17, version 1.3.14* Doesn’t work really. Freezes up constantly and doesn’t give you anything worth paying for. The fact that they haven’t taken this down says all you need to know about the company ### 1/5 — Alpha Strike only? *2026-02-17, version 1.3.14* Extremely limited selection of mechs and apparently only compatible with Alpha Strike. ### 1/5 — Still very not user friendly *2026-02-15, version 1.3.14* This may eventually become something useful, but it remains laggy, and not intuitive/user friendly. Maybe the veteran paid upgrade is helpful, but the free version doesn’t make me want to upgrade. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ignore Negative “Reviews” *2023-04-08, version 1.1.17 (80)* Per announcement at Adepticon 2023, development of this app will continue with release of “over 250 new mech sheets” once Battletech Mercenaries Kickstarter wraps up and moves to production stage. Great app regardless ### 5/5 — more Mechs *2022-07-14, version 1.0.26 (60)* more Mechs please? ### 5/5 — More mechs *2022-04-13, version 1.0.26 (60)* More mechs is there Plans to get More Mechs Sheets in or only the Basics ???? ### 5/5 — Veteran upgrade tracking. *2021-12-03, version 1.0.6* If I upgrade on my iPad will the upgrade be tracked somehow so if for some reason I switch to android or another iPad it will unlock on my account?? I don’t see your app using a server to log in and track the purchase. ### 5/5 — Veterans Upgrade *2021-11-27, version 1.0.0* I would love to purchase it, but its not working on my iPad Pro 11”. Hope there is a fix soon! Love it so far! ### 5/5 — Paving the way for the future *2021-01-30, version 1.0* Loving the easy use of the app looking forward to additional features. Definitely great potential! ### 5/5 — Useful first version of a BT tool. *2020-12-24, version 1.0* Extremely handy tool for tracking damage to a lance. Would be nice if it could handle multiples of a mech type in the lance. ### 5/5 — Great working proof of concept. *2020-12-12, version 1.0* Really want a full version made. Please catalyst. ### 5/5 — A Great Start *2020-12-11, version 1.0* This App is a great companion to the Game of Armored Combat and Clan Invasion boxed sets the functionality is great! It’s limited in scope with just a handful of mechs, but it works really well. I hope this app can be further expanded upon. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-12-11, version 1.0* Really like the app. Makes looking after your mechs easy. I definitely recommend this if you love BattleTech --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
