### 4/5 — Gut mit Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten

*2026-06-20*

Finde die App gut und zum großen Teil übersichtlich aufgebaut. Was ich mir wünschen würde wäre eine Command Bunker Funktion wie bei der 40K App, womit man alle Regeln, Datakarten etc. Untereinander angezeigt bekommen würde, damit man nicht immer wieder aus den einzelnen Untermenüs raus muss

### 4/5 — Best way to view the rules

*2026-01-25*

This is definitely the best way to view the rules for kill team. The app is intuitive and, in my opinion, easy to use. I like the feature to share and download rules. It means you can print your own data cards. Sure, they are not as good as the ones sold separately but you can’t beat free. My only complaint with the app is there is no way to organize or structure your own games. It feels like a missed feature an missed opportunity to not incide a way to keep score of the games you’d obviously be playing with the help of the rules on this app. It seems like a no brainer and other apps like KTCards have it.

### 3/5 — Landscape mode is broken

*2026-01-25*

Used to be able to view the cards sideways but for some reason that’s not working anymore on iPhone.

### 2/5 — It is an app?

*2026-01-22*

Like almost everything GW touches with digital content it is lacklustre at best and in most cases worse than anything the fans make. The fact that it isn’t a micro transaction hellscape gets a second star from me.

### 3/5 — Works good

*2026-01-21, version 1.15.0*

The search tool sucks but the information is there. You just have to know where to look!

### 3/5 — Why are data cards now in portrait mode?

*2026-01-01*

Worked better when the operative data cards were displayed in landscape view.

### 2/5 — Nice but not as useful

*2025-11-19*

Having the rules available is nice but there are some glaring issues. 1.  It would be nice to be able to update all downloaded stuff in one go instead of having to go to each document.  2.  There really needs to be an option to manage active games like scoring, etc.

### 2/5 — Good not great

*2025-10-27, version 1.12.0*

Not great: slow to update the app.

Good: quick reference is helpful and easy to print the information.

### 2/5 — Low effort

*2025-10-24*

This app is so low effort. There was a great community built app called Kill Team battle kit that did everything right. It made the rules quickly accessible, and easily searchable. This is just a PDF viewer with no consideration of optimizing content for the device in your hand. It’s nice that you can get the team rules for free, but the way that the information is organized, and how inaccessible it is overall compared to Battle  Kit is really sad. Games Workshop should have partnered with the creators of battle kit. Instead they took it down and were forced to settle for third-rate.

### 2/5 — Suboptimal

*2025-10-22*

Ein glorifizierter pdf reader und leider nicht mehr.

Die hervorragende Alternative battlekit haben sie aus dem Markt rausgeklagt, das macht diese App jedoch nicht besser.

### 2/5 — PDF Viewer

*2025-09-28*

It’s a PDF viewer with some good content but they did they absolute minimum for an app. It’s not formatted to the screen, you can’t buy the rule book. So it’s like someone said they needed an app and then added their existing PDFs to it. At least format it correctly and I’ll even pay you for the faction packs of the kill teams I already own.

### 3/5 — Informative but clumsy

*2025-06-20*

It has all the necessary information, but is poorly navigable.  Needs more links, the ability to transition smoothly between a teams data cards, rules, ploys, etc

### 2/5 — Jenes Problem mit der Sprache

*2025-04-15*

Solange sich jene App auf einem befreundeten IPhone nicht separat in eine Sprache ändern lässt, büßt jene App leider stark an ihrer Nutzbarkeit ein.
Kurz um….. Die App lässt sich wunderbar nutzen, allerdings wäre ein Wechsel der Sprache unabhängig des Betriebssystems sehr von Vorteil.

### 1/5 — app打开第一个界面无法点击进入

*2026-04-03*

app打开第一个界面无法点击进入

### 1/5 — It's just a load of images!!!

*2026-02-24*

No way to tap on keywords to see the definitions etc.  

If you're a new player, you have no choice but to use something like Battlekit.

### 1/5 — Rache?

*2025-10-24*

Ich sag nur BattleKit gesperrt

### 1/5 — A sad PDF reader

*2025-10-24*

This app feels like a joke for a company like GW. It is a simple PDF reader, specially inconvenient every time there is a data slate with updated rules. It is misisng important features that we were able to find in other KT apps elsewhere. We expect more from GW apps.

### 1/5 — Battlekit

*2025-09-26, version 1.12.0*

Your app is actually garbage, KT battle kit is amazing, no one wants to spend 100$ on paper rules that will be outdated in a week.

### 1/5 — How did this get past Apple’s review team?

*2025-08-18, version 1.10.0*

This app is nothing more than a PDF downloader/viewer made with garbage cross platform tech. There is no valuable functionality that you don’t get by just owning an iPhone.

### 1/5 — KTCards is way better

*2025-06-05*

This App is just a bad pdf viewer. There is a much better free alternative by an amazing developer out there called KTCards. GW should hire him!

### 1/5 — No option to chose the language

*2025-05-06*

The lack of this option makes the app unusable!

### 1/5 — How did this get past Apple’s review team?

*2025-03-21, version 1.6.0*

This app is nothing more than a PDF downloader/viewer made with garbage cross platform tech. There is no valuable functionality that you don’t get by just owning an iPhone.

### 1/5 — Awkward to update

*2025-03-18, version 1.6.0*

The application is a pdf reader, far below the quality of both the 40K and AoS applications. Searching rules and moving between teams is quite difficult and there’s no way to favorite things so you’re constantly going back to scroll the list of kill teams during a game.

Updates for the appreciation are also awkward, the way the content is organized. When the universal equipment gets updated you need to update the rules for every team since they each contain a copy of it, which is hundreds of MB of data to update teams that really didn’t change. While not specific to the application the way updates are tracked is also awkward, there’s no dates or consistency so when updates happen we’ll have version 1.1 for Vespids, 1.0 of Legionary, and 1.0 of Wreckas. Legionary will have no updates since the last dataslate but Wreckas will have something, this makes it incredibly difficult to scan through the rules to see what’s changed for each team. Oh, there’s also no longer a centralized list of changes, they happen at the team level so you have to look at each team to know about updates, really inconvenient.

### 5/5 — 한국어 지원 압도적 감사

*2026-06-25*

이전 버전으로 번역되거나 사소한 문제들이 있으나 추후 다 개선될것이라 믿고있습니다. 중요한건 한글로 룰들을 볼수 있다는 것이고 감동적이네요. 개발자분들과 번역자분들께 감사드리고
한국 시장에 관심가져주신 gw 시에도 감사드립니다.

### 5/5 — Extremely convenient

*2026-01-30*

Brilliant app, I use regularly but could we have the ability to use it in landscape for tablets please?

### 5/5 — Super useful

*2025-12-04*

The app is easy to use, allowing you to quickly find the complete set of information needed for your kill team. It also has the PvE missions in too for reference and the kill team lite rules!

### 5/5 — 好

*2025-10-24*

不错，非常方便

### 5/5 — Sprachauswahl

*2025-09-19*

Alles übersichtlich da, was man zum Spielen braucht. Wer die Sprache nicht ändern kann muss in den iPhone Allgemein Spracheinstellungen die Sprache erst runterladen.
Vielen Dank an den Support, der nach vielen Runden die Lösung finden konnte!

### 5/5 — This is good!

*2025-07-02*

I’m guessing the bad reviews might have been earned at some point? But everything is in this app. As a new player, and a lore guy, this is awesome. Seriously, great job on this GW.

### 5/5 — Free Rules

*2025-05-17*

Something people have complained about with GW products for years is the price of subscriptions/rules. Now they’re free, five stars beautiful work.

### 5/5 — gw做的好啊

*2025-04-18*

感觉是gw少数做的人事儿，这个app确实方便

### 5/5 — Great Companion to Core Rules Book

*2025-04-03, version 1.7.0*

Love it at the moment, and hope it stays that way. Great companion to the core rules book!

### 5/5 — A Very Good PDF Reader

*2025-03-27, version 1.6.0*

It’s a PDF reader, and thankfully everything’s free! It doesn’t try to be much and it’s good at what it does.
