Greedy disgusting behaviour

Having the cheek to take the 10th edition data that I paid the codex for and put in the code for is a disgrace. I get that 11th edition is out but just make it a selection or let me keep the space marine data. I already pay a subscription for the app

Shadow updates

Why are you shadow updating without an update log? Why?!?! What am I paying for?!?! I don’t even know what rules have changed?! Why?!?! Ad a change log man! Wtf.
WCWe chu

A mess

Updating too often with no change log.
MRMr Rainnot

Needs patch notes

Every few days the app updates with changes to the game rules that aren’t documented anywhere.

It’s hard to keep up with the changes as a casual player.
AAsmoi

Unprofessional Practices

GW refusing to put out a change log whenever they do an update makes them look very incompetent. For a company to be taken seriously they must put forth the effort and we just are not seeing it.
