### 4/5 — Niquel

*2026-08-24*

Enfin une traduction c’est top mon dernier commentaire reprochait ce problèmes et ils ont fait l’effort sur la nouvelle version donc rien a dire l’application est bien et utile seul petit point dommage qu’on ait pas la possibilité de sélectionner l’édition a la quel on joue ce qui serait interessant quand on veut jouer encore en V10

### 3/5 — Nur die hälfte Deutsch

*2026-08-15*

Gut, aber bevor ihr immer neue Sachen hinzufügt, schaut lieber das die Sprachen endlich angepasst sind. Nur 25% auf Deutsch!

### 4/5 — Praktisches Kompendium

*2026-08-09*

Grundregeln, ein kostenloser Roster, Möglichkeit mit seinem Kumpel die Schlacht gemeinsam zu Verfolgen und nach dem freigeschaltetem Codex, eine unverzichtbare Hilfe. Gerade für die Combat Patrols ein sehr nützliches Nachschlagewerk. 

Stellenweise ist es eine Mischung aus Deutsch und Englisch. Gerade bei dem regulären Codex, ist es vermehrt Englisch. Aber man kommt dennoch zurecht. 

Leider sind noch nicht alle aktuellen Combat Patrols vorhanden (z.B Tyraniden). Wenn das gepatcht wurde, gibt es 5 Sterne.

### 2/5 — GW spart mal wieder

*2026-08-09*

Die App ist per se nicht schlecht, seit dem Update auf die 11. Edition ist es aber nur noch peinlich…
Supports können nicht zugeordnet werden, die Sprache kann nicht wieder auf Englisch zurück gestellt werden, aber die Übersetzung ist, zum einen nicht Vollständig, dh. man hat da jetzt ein Kauderwelsch aus Deutsch und Englisch stehen und zum anderen sind sie auch noch fehlerhaft 

GW ist ein milliardenschweres Unternehmen an der Börse und ist nicht fähig eine Funktionierende App auf einem Standart, wie man ihn 2026 als Stand der Technik erwarten kann, zu liefern… und dann soll man auch noch für die App zahlen um sie vollständig nutzen zu können, lächerlich!

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-08-06, version 2.4.0*

Not a patch on Tabletop battles. Can’t enter default settings. Cant see my stats. Can’t go back and edit early pages in a battle. Will not link to BCP correctly for events (this appears to be a 3-way issue. The app relies upon a link to my Warhammer account. BCP says it has integrated with my Warhammer account but does not merge my events from a standard login in to the Warhammer version of my account. Ergo the 40K app says no events found and we go round an infuriating circle of inept software).

### 2/5 — Dysfunctional

*2026-08-05, version 2.4.0*

Pay wall of $7 a month just to build more army rosters, limited free rules on characters unless you cough up $60 each for codex codes, app update currently makes it unusable for 11th edition. Guys the minis are already a mortgage payment does the app really have to be more of the same?

### 3/5 — WARNING!!! useless unless you bought the codex’s

*2026-08-04, version 2.3.1*

Just a warning, the app is useless unless you have the Codex already for the code to put the code in to unlock the information about your army, which I think is the biggest flaw of this app. I think if I’m paying $50 a year I should have access to the Codex’s. The only thing the app gives you for free is the basic rules that you can print off the Internet for free anyway I recommend if you don’t have the Codex there are other apps out there that are better.

### 4/5 — Beste App… für Geld

*2026-08-03*

Die App ist leider nur gut wenn man Geld ausgibt .
Aber wenn man Codizies kauft kann man sich eine Liste machen, falls man Warhammer plus hat, ist dies die beste App die man haben kann.
Leider ist dies an ein Abo gebunden . Deshalb nur 4 Sterne .

### 1/5 — Full of bugs

*2026-08-03, version 2.3.1*

Since the rules updates. It has been throwing up composition errors.

### 4/5 — Good app but with some problems

*2026-07-30, version 2.3.1*

I like it and I’ll use it but I don’t like the fact I have to buy Warhammer+ for some features but apart from that it’s really good. I also find that the lack of being able to play Apocalypse or use legends is a problem, but the new 11th edition update is really good and that I unlock the new 11th edition units rules with my 10th edition codex is a good inclusion.
