Karskin 40K file not working

I want karskin svg file please

Not enough models

Needs more models. I checked the mega folder on the subreddit for more downloads and it only had 2 models out of my entire army. Pretty disappointing after an app has been up for 6+ years.

Great idea, poor execution (user has to do all the work)

I was aware of the apps limited selection of models however you would think that over time they would increase said selection, I would understand if the app was free, but they are charging ยฃ3 meaning they should be providing a quite a bit more than they already do, and if you have to upload your own pictures, they could at least have somewhere where they have photos of models that they have taken themselves to perfectly fit their own criteria and that anyone with the app can access.

Useful

Itโ€™s a useful app, very annoying the in-app store doesnโ€™t work for me. If you go on Reddit and look up the app then you should be good for SVGs to use. The colors the app has are very good and Iโ€™m happy with it overall.

Nutzlos

Dieses Programm bietet gerade mal ca. 20 Figuren. Damit kann doch keiner etwas anfangen. 3โ‚ฌ fรผr die Tonne!
