### 4/5 — Works just fine, what are you talking about

*2022-06-13, version 3.4.18*

I’m enjoying this app. It does not have 3rd edition units, though as it’s literally called old that no surprise

### 4/5 — Great but could have a bit more

*2022-04-21, version 3.4.18*

All of the features are great apart from one thing. It hasn’t got kruleboyz or stormcast eternals vindictors or knight arcanum! Needs fixing

### 3/5 — Where’s 3.0?

*2022-01-18, version 3.4.18*

The rule book should be updated to the free 44-page 3.0 version available on the website. 
Having wars scolls from old versions to convert to new version is very helpful.

### 2/5 — No 3.0 Rules

*2021-08-05, version 3.4.16*

If you are looking to see if your list fits 3.0, this ain’t it fam. Maybe when summer holidays are over it might get an update, but taking money for an obsolete list builder is pretty weak.

### 4/5 — Bloquage à la V2…

*2021-07-27*

Très bonne application quoi que un peu trop payante (comme tout Games Workshop). Je regrette juste qu’à ce jour les MaJ de la V3 n’aient pas été faites et que l’app n’existe qu’en anglais

### 1/5 — No Updates

*2021-07-14, version 3.4.16*

You can’t rely on it, even after spending full price on rulebooks, because it almost never gets updated and not in a timely manner.

### 1/5 — What am I paying for?

*2021-07-10, version 3.4.16*

Update your army lists, points, rules, etc. to reflect the latest Age of Sigmar rule set.  App is near useless until updated.

### 1/5 — does not work on ios 10

*2021-06-26, version 3.4.16*

No longer work since update 3.4.15

### 1/5 — Poor

*2021-06-08, version 3.4.15*

Writing is too small to read on an iPad (and is not resizable). If you have the books on another platform, e.g. iBooks, the relevant content stays locked unless you buy it again in this App. Finally, why a subscription to use the army builder? I thought GW would want to promote their games & sell models…

### 1/5 — Unable to access.

*2021-06-03, version 3.4.14*

I pay the subscription for access to the azyr part of the app for list building but I’ve been unable to access for a couple of months. I keep updating and waiting for a fix but nothing. Each time I try to access it the subscribe now screen appears so I click subscribe and a notification pops up saying I’m already subscribed! Let me in already!!

Edit:
The problem still exists after months of trying to use. When are we going to get a fix!!!! 
Despicable behaviour from the developers, take your money and then give you something that doesn’t work 😡😡

### 4/5 — Extremely useful but for one main issue

*2021-05-23, version 3.4.14*

Azyr subscription is cheap and highly useful for armies, but having to purchase a battletome when you already own the physical copy is stupid, if 40k apps allows physical books redeemable in the app then why cant age of sigmar :s i have the collectors edition of hedonites of slaanesh and yet they still want me to pay to use it on my phone, that’s practically 3 battletomes worth just for the same item 😓 secondly the army maker and battalions could be done abit better- if you select a battalion you then have to add the units in other leader and battleline sections, which can get confusing with which unit is with which battalion especially on grand host battalions, a better way would be to select the units under the battalion as an options and requirements ( like selecting spells and other unit options and the like)

### 1/5 — Leider nur durch Geldeinwurf benutzbar

*2021-05-17*

Ohne Bücher kaufen in der App und ohne Abo kann man sich leider nur leidlich wenige warscrolls ansehen. Keine Armee Bildung möglich, nicht mal alle warscrolls, keine Unterstützung bei spielen, speichert gar nichts.
So leider unbrauchbar.
Eine Deutsche Unterstützung wäre zudem auch kein Problem mehr, da alle Inhalte auch in deutsch verfügbar sind

### 2/5 — App crash

*2021-05-12*

It’s impossible to make an army with all the Cursed City unit, the app crash when you put the last one

### 3/5 — 日本語版が欲しいです

*2021-05-01*

ウォーハンマーをプレイするには有効なアプリだと思いますが、言語の種類を選択ができると助かります。
日本語版の登場に期待します。

### 2/5 — Long time user

*2021-04-26, version 3.4.11*

Yeah, updates are getting sloppy. I just got the be’lakor book in real media but of course if I have NO idea if I will need the digital version in app. Well since I want the nighthaunt battalion then yeah, probably. However I won’t buy it till I know they will properly update. Be’lakor at the moment is still not updated in points or in the warscroll. I never got an update for the Sull’eske white dwarf faction. They had a super cool battalion with soulgrinders and defilers. Alas never made it to the app. My point is, they got sloppy with this about like over a year ago. 

Tldr; they make you buy your books in app even if you have them, they don’t TELL you what is updating or when and they charge you a monthly fee.
Plus side, all the rules (if you get your stuff sorted out) at the tip of your finger on your device.

### 1/5 — After reinstall can no longer download purchased battletomes

*2021-04-18, version 3.4.11*

After subscribing and buying two battletomes through the app the app suddenly decided I didn’t have a subscription anymore, so I uninstalled and re-installed the app which then recognised I had a subscription but now says I have to buy the battle tomes again. Now want to get a refund for them, won’t use this again

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage

*2024-08-23, version 3.4.18*

That this a paid app is an absolute disgrace; in its current state it is a minimum viable product AT BEST.   GW continues their race to the bottom in quality productions,

### 1/5 — Automatically signs you up to a monthly subscription - avoid!

*2024-07-15, version 3.4.18*

Hidden away in the army builder tab in the top right corner is a notification that you will be charged on a monthly basis for using it. There’s no way to cancel from within the app itself and it doesn’t appear under your Apple ID subscriptions. I am yet to find out where this is managed; if indeed there’s a way of cancelling at all.

Absolutely disgusting and reminiscent of malware autorunner games.

### 1/5 — App Is Dead

*2022-02-21, version 3.4.18*

Warhammer is an ever changing game and this app hasn’t updated in so long that it’s missing a lot of the new models. From Kruleboyz to Dragons. Was once a wonderful app is now gone

### 1/5 — No update

*2022-01-15*

Hello, why you never update this apps. We pay for the battle tome and this apss stay in V2 .

Have a nice day

### 1/5 — Old and incomplete

*2021-09-24, version 3.4.18*

I mean games workshop is only a $5 billion company we gotta cut them some slack but this is insane! No new battletomes or wars rolls are even available for purchase

### 1/5 — Bug

*2021-08-21*

Pourquoi l'appli ne veut pas marcher : elle s'éteint au bout de quelque secondes ? Je suis sur iOS 10.3.3(iPhone 5c )

### 1/5 — Do not use until updated for V3

*2021-08-20, version 3.4.17*

You will only be downloading something that may not be supported.

### 1/5 — Currently Useless For AoS 3rd Edition

*2021-08-03, version 3.4.16*

While I’m not experiencing any bug whilst using the app the Warscrolls, points, battalions, grand strategies, etc., have still not been updated to 3rd Edition. It’s been over a month since 3rd Edition released, it ridiculous. I feel that the update is being held back for the release of Warhammer+, but until then this app is useless.

### 1/5 — Where is my 3rd edition content

*2021-07-28, version 3.4.16*

This app is content suspended

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-07-26, version 3.4.16*

The app often, 7/10 times roughly, asks me to resubscribe to use features, which I can’t because…. I’m already subscribed.

This wouldn’t be a problem if they had support, they don’t. Maybe someone besides me could figure out in their not mobile friendly website what the heck they are supposed to do but I can’t.

So… can’t use it when I need for it, can’t get support when I can’t use it, all for the low price of 1$/month.

Thanks but no thanks.

P.s.
I tried deleting it and reinstalling and updating, still trash. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised with a company like this.

### 5/5 — I miss her more every day

*2025-01-31, version 3.4.18*

This app was just plain better across the board. They killed her to make room for a crappier, more exploitative version. RIP old girl, you served us well 🫡

### 5/5 — 2nd Edition is Better Overall

*2022-06-03, version 3.4.18*

This app deserves 5 stars because it is aesthetically more pleasing than the new app and simply the 2e game rules are more new player friendly than 3e.  While 3e has some creative mechanics and many good ideas even improvements over 2e, it divulged too far from having access to quicker simpler games. 3e is too cumbersome because every battle plan requires changing goals and points tracking every single turn. This breaks immersion and makes short games more difficult to accomplish.

I think the traditional approach of defining rules and goals through the battle plan is better because it allows for more variety of games through battle plans. Basically the structural changes of 3e should in large part just be part of battle plans.

2e is just way more accessible to the casual gamer and new player.

### 5/5 — Been a good run

*2021-08-18, version 3.4.17*

I’ve been using this app for years and never had any major problems with it. They still have the warscrolls for all the old discontinued fantasy models and armies which I always really liked. I don’t know if they’ll remove it when the new app launches tomorrow but this one really wasn’t that bad.

### 5/5 — Please update

*2021-07-27, version 3.4.16*

Please update more regularly with new models and rules please

### 5/5 — Problem iOS

*2021-03-14, version 3.4.9*

Hi, app is Great but i have big problem with it, im using payed version and every month when my subscriotion is new my app block and i need to unistal it and instal again

### 5/5 — Update please

*2020-07-25*

I want Update new battletomb and books

### 5/5 — Very good

*2020-06-03, version 3.4.3*

I like your program and thank you very much for this job and I can give you  5 stars, but I have problem : my friends who playing with me has bad knowledge of english language. And our game going very hard and long because all the time I must translate all abilities((( will be perfect if you make also Russian language for this application, I will be very happy and I think bot only me)

### 5/5 — A good app for AoS

*2020-05-24, version 3.4.3*

I had been using this app from day 1 for my army roaster, easy to create an army list be it open, match, narrative or meeting engagement, subscriptions fee is affordable. Warscrolls are free and there is also a basic rules for AoS. Can purchase all AoS battletome and battle plans in the app includes those out of prints one. Worth it IMO.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2020-05-20, version 3.4.3*

It’s very useful to have this app, you can quickly sort out armies to look at warscrolls or look at points for a small group of models very quickly. Also there is no internet needed.

### 5/5 — I’m impressed...but

*2020-05-14, version 3.4.3*

The app has very few errors, but I do have one complaint, they removed the feature to upload pictures of your army to the app. It was a small thing but looking up a unit and seeing your own models was amazing!
