### 5/5 — Great app, please update to TI4

*2024-01-29, version 2.0.0*

When I played third edition more consistently several years ago, this app was perfect to bring to the table. It was easy to figure out techs and other aspects of the game.

It was easy to bring newer players up to speed using the app as well.

I was planning on getting the fourth edition soon, and would love this app updated to accommodate the new edition rules, races, etc.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-12-06, version 2.0.0*

Just got introduced to this game and app. It’s amazing. Please update to 4th Ed. This app would be invaluable.

### 5/5 — Such a great app!

*2016-08-27, version 1.0.7*

One of the most difficult things about TI is remembering all the techs during battle. This makes it so easy and also takes way fumbling with all the tech cards and looking at a big tech tree. 

Definitely worth the pro upgrade to get the knowledge search and to support this awesome app.

### 3/5 — Great tool - but needs network

*2016-08-21, version 1.0.7*

It looks awesome. Very easy to read. However, It needs the ability to see the other players' race sheet.

### 4/5 — A good basic app

*2016-04-08*

Quite a good reference app that contains in-depth information on each race and all technologies.
Possible improvements would be a section to help calculate battles, and it would be nice to have a "dark" colour theme that's easier on the eyes.

### 4/5 — Great tool

*2016-04-07, version 1.0.7*

A great tool for TI3 players. Helpful during the game to keep track of how your techs affect your units. Wish it also included racial techs.

### 5/5 — Love it! So useful!

*2016-03-04, version 1.0.7*

Very helpful app! So glad it exists! It has all the information regarding units, tech, and race abilities.
It's useful for situations like: "wait did I have a tech modifier for destroyers in anti-fighter barrage?" Instead of reading through all your tech cards, and then you're racial ability sheet, all you have to do is go to that specific unit and you'll have the info you need whether it's racial abilities or techs.
Has both expansions' races and race techs included. Every race has info for their leaders, and trade goods, starting units, flagship, ect.
The few things that it doesn't have info on are council representatives and mercenaries. Also you can only see tech for which you are already qualified for. If you're looking for the quickest way to get to advanced fighters, you'll have to figure it out on a tech tree yourself, and then 'purchase' what you need.
However in the pro version (paid version) it seems like you can unlock a tech targeting feature of the app which sounds like it could point you in the direction you need there. (Would love more info on the pro version!) 
Anyways, great app. Helps you not miss the cool tech/racial abilities you get while in game.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!!

*2015-04-27, version 1.0.3*

All your racial info at your fingertips. Tech info ( including racial), dynamic tech tree, unit stats (updated based on your tech selections), leaders, trade contracts, etc.. Indispensable!

I did notice that Automated Defense Turrets incorrectly gives Destroyers a +1 on the unit stats page. The only flaw in an otherwise EXCELLENT app.

### 5/5 — I wish...

*2015-03-29, version 1.0.2*

FFG would make it come to iPad already. There are so many option. Talisman nailed it with multiplatform connectivity. Iphones could be used as players joysticks and ipad as boardgame.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Design

*2015-01-10, version 1.0.1*

Wonderful app - polished and useful.
