Locked data

I downloaded this app only for it to continue to always push for the subscription. I’ve also unlocked a 40K codex for use in this app, for it to always display the data in that codex as locked. I contacted the support team about my codex not being available and going through all the steps they suggested for it still be locked. In comparison The Age of Sigmar app shows my AoS codex perfectly fine.

Rubbish

Simply will not load

Robbers

I cannot resign from monthly subribtion, they are robbers, please discord the app from
The store.

Games Workshop Oopsie

One of the main reasons I recently started playing 40k is because of its physical presence. Hand painted models, rulers, dice, terrain, etc. all are best done being real objects. Why do the rules need to be so separate from everything else?
Im confused why Games Workshop feels the need to make the rules digital... It's probably cheaper but I would prefer to pay more for a physical copy.
If I wanted a digital game, I would play video games, not board games.
There definitely could be a world were there are physical and digital rules. We live in the world with a stinky mobile app unfortunately.

Not bad but could be better

It would be nice if we could see datasheets for our whole army with the selected wargear like we can on BattleScribe, but it’s great having access to the core rules and all of our owned codexes

Would also be nice if it had Boarding Patrol for army building and Killteam

Awful experience compared to the AOS app

Every aspect of the app requires a subscription including the data sheets if you’re interested in using an app for aiding in gameplay I suggest just playing AOS instead as the app is better and all the base rules are free, no subscription whatsoever even mentioned

Requires latest iOS

I would like to get the app but can’t download it because it requires iOS 15, this means I need one of the newer iPhones and I can’t, it would be nice if these apps would be compatible with older iOS systems as it just blocks the app from some users, I will just stick to battle scribe because it works on older operating systems and (according to some other reviews) actually works

It doesn’t do what it’s designed to do

Honestly, such a missed opportunity. Basic errors in list construction ignored for years… okay for looking up rules. List building… just use BattleScribe or pen and paper.

Bugs

Upgrades in units don’t have points

Works great for me

Not sure about all the bad reviews, app is simple but works well.

Still crashes every time you try to change Ork weapons.

Every time you try to change weapons on Ork Deff Dreads the app just crashes. You make the last maximum weapon choice on the unit and then the app crashes and won’t even allow you to access that unit profile load out section without crashing. This bug was in the app before, about two years ago, and it still persists. Exactly what are the patches and updates even for when the basic function of the app is hobbled by bad programming?

Für den Preis nicht zu empfehlen

Leider muss man sagen das ohne die Plus Mitgliedschaft der Gebrauch sehr eingeschränkt ist. Und für den Preis den sie haben wollen müsste in der App zumindest alles auf deutsche übersetzt sein. Dazu kommt das man viele Features auch in andere Apps bekommt und das zu deutlich günstigeren Preisen oder sogar kostenlos.

No actual iPad app

I can’t believe that GW have released an app that costs this much monthly and they’ve not even bothered to make it run natively on an iPad. BattleScribe manages it and that’s free!

Want to love it

What more can I say. Been subscribed for a hot minute now. Pretty much since the app launched. It got better slowly but going from PDFs to a more natural setting wasn’t much of an upgrade.

Arks of omens drops, calls for specific boarding patrol detachment, two months later there is still no support for boarding Patrol detachments in Battle Forge.

It’s disappointing to say the least, and makes it incredibly difficult to recommend to anyone. Especially considering the vast majority of the content is locked behind paywalls. I really feel sad about this. I want better for this franchise I love

awful ipad interface, useless for tournaments or playing the game

awful ipad interface. it is the iphone interface. it takes up the entire screen but only utilizes about a third of a screen with what looks like the iphone version. It is missing large chunks of the game, data sheet rules are generally out of date, armies of renown are missing with no way to add them even if you own the white dwarf. No dice rolling functionality. It is incredibly slow. you have to click through multiple screens to find the information you need.

You can’t even split screen the app to run a dice roller or have something else open while using the app.

How is the app still this bad?

It’s been how long now? Surely you think minor things like missing units or special characters not being available to successor chapters would be fixed by now, but nope. Here we are and still can’t get a functioning army builder. Why do we have to pay for this again?

App won’t even start up on latest version of ios

Keeps spitting out a ‘nurglings in the system, please try again’ error.

After a week of trying I just uninstalled the app without ever having used it.

Can’t even open

Can’t even get past the “continue to app” screen….

NO iPad Version after 2 years

The application itself is cumbersome and not very intuitive. It lacks support for larger screens such as iPads and tablets in general, where it would find its natural environment. Yet developing a tablet version would be really quick and inexpensive in terms of human resources. Considering the cost of the subscription, it would be necessary to remedy this as soon as possible. As a subscriber, I am really disappointed.

Issues with Harlquins

Hello,

Since the last rules pack was released, you can’t ad any elite choices to a Harlequin Detachment. No jesters or solitaires.

Please fix it!
