### 1/5 — Does nothing

*2023-08-19, version 2.2*

I think it’s broken. The buttons do nothing.

### 5/5 — Would love, love, LOVE an update!

*2022-09-26*

I just bought this (09/25/22). It’s quite nice, but please take the time to update it for the Unfinished Business expansion!

As someone who has done programming, I know it will be a lot of work. I’d be happy if you released it as it’s own app that I would gladly pay $5 for, maybe even $10.  Or sell it to me as a downloadable in-app purchase. 

I have played dozens and dozens of games with different AI setups as I have 2 copies. This would save so much time!  I’d be happy to help as well if you need someone to provide you with the text data to copy into a table for app coding. 

Thank you for your consideration, and fantastic work!

### 5/5 — Expansion

*2022-08-19*

Any chance you all will be adding the expansion characters and such any time soon? That would be great

**Developer response:** It is in the works! I can’t give you definitive date for when to expect it but development has started.

### 5/5 — Updates?

*2022-07-21*

Any plans to add Unfinished Business expansion?

### 5/5 — Great for solo players

*2020-09-10, version 1.1*

Works well. I like that it has decks for all the AI players vs the one that comes with the game.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2020-05-08*

Very helpful app that speeds up the game. Only some things I wish we had is a way to show if you’ve flipped your character card and to see the ship stats. Also, under character notes I wish we could see the starting card number to make setup easier. And the last thing, an AI deck shuffle option. 

Other than that, great app and can’t wait to use it more.

**Developer response:** Hey there!  There is an AI deck shuffle option if you scroll past the last card in the AI deck.  Glad you are enjoying the app!

### 4/5 — Still needs work

*2020-05-02*

I appreciate this app. It definitely helps reduce clutter. It still needs some work. I think Boba Fett is wrong. None of his AI deck cards have him getting bounties. They all say take job cards. I don’t think it’s meant to be this way. I haven’t looked at the source decks though. I haven’t seen a way to track credits. It looks like there’s info at the top of the character card but I can’t access or modify it. If you go to the AI character then back to the AI deck, it shuffles the deck and changes the card. Not ideal. I’m not sure if the app sets the lock timer but if it does it’s too short when looking at the AI deck. As I contemplate how the AI takes its turn the app often starts to time out and lock. I have to tap the screen to keep it up. Annoying. 

I still think this app is a deal at its price. Hopefully development continues to make it better.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words. The problem with the deck reshuffling will be fixed in the next update. As far as tracking credits, it is the first stepper one the Player and AI Player tab (this one is the blue one). Just tap the + or - to increment or decrease the value. The credits by increments of 1,000. If there is still an issue, please reach out to us at contact@nerdroomsoftware.com and we can further investigate your issue. Hope this clears that up and I will work on getting that ai deck problem resolved. I will also verify the Boba Fett deck is correct.  Thanks again for your support!
