### 2/5 — Please bring back AMG points

*2026-07-05, version 4.1.0*

I had a ton of AMG lists built up l, and then out of the blue they disappeared. I am very disappointed as that is the points ecosystem that me and all of my friends use. Bring it back please!

### 3/5 — Updated and got rid of a points system

*2026-06-03, version 4.1.0*

Me and my friends liked to use the origanal points from  atomic mass Ames and the app got rid of them so all of our loadouts are lost now

### 1/5 — Bugs, bugs, and more bugs.

*2026-05-01, version 4.1.0*

The core concept is there, and I like the collection feature, but compared to even mobile YASB, this has entirely too many issues to be worth using. 

Adding a pilot will occasionally fail and just do nothing, and other times it won’t allow you to select a ship. When adding a pilot it may appear invisible or become unselectable until you restart the app. Once you’re editing the loadout for a pilot, the upgrade slots will: grey out and become uninteractable, move around randomly, disappear, or just fail to work. The filters for some modifications is incorrect, Precision Ion Engines and Stealth Device shows up for every ship. Recently half of the upgrades have lost images that show the card art and full card. Points will randomly miscalculate, adding loadout values to the total point cost on XWA managed lists. 

There are definitely more issues, as those are just the few I managed to think of off the top of my head, but my point stands. Most of these issues require an app restart to fix and make continuous use almost impossible.

### 4/5 — There are some issues I have with 2.0 Legacy

*2025-09-08, version 4.0.1*

I got the app after the XWA update and 2.0 Legacy is missing some features, these features are mainly Weapons Hardpoint for T-70 not actually adding the slots and the same issue for Wartime Loadout for the BTA-NR2 Y-Wing.

### 4/5 — Needs a collection filter

*2025-04-23, version 4.0.1*

I swear it used to have a filter to hide anything not in your collection when making a squadron but I don’t see it anymore. Otherwise it’s perfect.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-02-14, version 4.0.0*

Functional and simple. Some interactions in the app are not intuitive, but all the functionality is there.

One major improvement that needs to be made is in regard to filtering. When I select more filters, I expect the results to narrow down. Instead a union on the multiple filters is performed increasing my results. That functionality is opposed to what a "filter" is supposed to do.

Otherwise this is my choice X-Wing squad builder. New points dropped today, and within minutes this app was updated.

### 3/5 — Please fix T-70 for 2.0 Legacy

*2025-02-11, version 4.0.0*

You cannot add weapon upgrades from „weapon hardpoint” when creating resistance T-70 with 2.0 Legacy rules - Please fix it asap 🙁
And issue with adding Upsilon to first order 2.0 legacy squad - app crush

### 5/5 — Hi there’s a bug

*2024-12-17, version 4.0.0*

Hello this app is amazing although the upsilon for the first Order team doesn’t work. Everytime I click it the app kicks me out so I’m guessing it’s broke.  Can you please fix it🥺 for the first order🥺

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2024-12-11, version 4.0.0*

On IoS every time you close the app the team point totals recalculate incorrectly. If you remove a card and put it back then it’s OK. Selecting Starkiller Base Pilot crashes the App. Couldn’t find anywhere else to report bugs without paying to do so.

### 1/5 — Unable to log on

*2024-10-03, version 4.0.0*

Can’t log in and totally useless. Was working fine until latest IOS update.
