### 2/5 — Too much info behind purchase

*2026-06-22, version 1.33.0*

Too much of the app is hidden behind a $50 book purchase. Every new army update requires another $50! No way to check opponents army abilities. Allow us to see all army rules!

### 2/5 — Locked content

*2026-06-16, version 1.32.0*

I have a mywarhammer account. I bought my book. I entered in the code. It’s in my library. Still locked content. And it was working fine a few days ago. Great job GW.

### 3/5 — Nice but issues

*2026-05-04, version 1.31.0*

Things that need improvement:
* App crashes when scrolling and only restarting fixes it
* App will get stuck when scrolling and will no longer let you scroll down further and only restarting fixes it. 
* City of Ash relics are showing up in Realmgate 
Feedback:
* It would be nice if Realmgate was tabbed so you could switch between warscrolls and abilities. 
* It would be nice to have a reminder view by phase. Including items in the warscrolls for the units in the list. 
* It would be nice to be able to filter warscrolls by keywords like fly or Crit (Mortal) for example. 
* Would be nice to have a game tracker/scoreboard in Realmgate that would show you the current battle plan and keep track of score. 
* Would be nice to have a scoreboard for Spearhead games.

### 4/5 — A Good But Not Perfect Resource

*2026-03-27, version 1.28.1*

The app itself works easily and smoothly; I’ve never had it close down in the middle of using it or anything like that. 

A landscape mode for iPads is a must, and I don’t understand why the AoS app lacks the ‘Favorite’ buttons that the 40K does have. With the next edition of AoS on the horizon (and we pray that it is NOT that ‘The Last World’ nonsense and that those leaks are fake) hopefully they’ll include such features in the upcoming AoS app when 5e is released. 

Locking things behind buying a physical Battletome for AoS and a Codex for 40K is so freaking annoying. Not everyone wants to drop $50+ (soon to be $60-$70, you can bet on that) for a physical book. While everything should be unlocked for Warhammer+ subscribers I know that GW is far too greedy to do that even though such a benefit would cause substantial subscription increases, so at least make it possible to pay a very reduced price to ‘unlock’ factions via the app. You know, save the trees and the climate that these annoying Neo-Hippies keep crying about. 

Other than that, it’s a good app and is quite useful.

### 3/5 — manifestations don’t show up

*2026-03-15, version 1.28.1*

Warscrolls for universal manifestations no longer show up in the app..

### 4/5 — Super

*2026-03-11*

Ein Stern Abzug weil die combat Übersicht besser und Übersichtlicher sein sollte . Ich wechsle deswegen oft zu sigdex und das will ich eigentlich nicht. Beispiel : ich weis zwar welche Fähigkeit ich wann machen kann aber es ist nicht ersichtlich wer die Fähigkeit einsetzen kann

### 3/5 — Bonne app compagnon mais uniquement en anglais

*2026-02-24*

Si l’application pouvait avoir un module de traduction (avec l’IA c’est pourtant pas compliqué à mettre en oeuvre!), elle serait probablement parfaite. Alors oui, la participation financière demandée pour débloquer son plein potentiel est élevée et élitiste, comme tout ce qui a trait à Warhammer, mais c’est aussi ce qui permet d’assurer une qualité continue de tout l’univers de ce jeu.

### 2/5 — Doux amer

*2025-12-29*

Application qui semble à l’abandon, pas de mise à jour depuis des mois malgré l’ajout d’une nouvelle faction dans le jeu et les équilibrages de la version sortie en pdf il y a plus d’une semaine. 

Triste constat quand on connaît déjà les défauts inhérents de l’application : 

- Pas disponible en plusieurs langues alors que les règles sont pourtant bien déclinées dans diverses langues à chaque sortie papier.
- Un modèle économique un poil abusif, nécessité d’acheter les BT en version physique pour bénéficier des règles et il n’existe pas de version numérique des BT concernés (qui serait moins chers par exemple).
- Requiert un abonnement à Warhammer+ uniquement pour pouvoir faire plusieurs liste d’armée (oui l’abonnement ne permet pas de débloquer l’ensemble des règles). 

Bref, une entreprise et un éditeur de jeu qui jouissent pleinement de leur monopole dans le milieu du jeu de figurine pour dicter leurs conditions au détriment des consommateurs. 
Je regrette parfois d’être autant attaché à leurs univers et licences, jusqu’à quand la nostalgie fonctionnera sur moi, je ne saurai dire mais à ce stade le plus bref sera le mieux.

### 2/5 — Warum IOS 17???

*2025-11-25*

Ich habe mich vor 2 Monaten durchgerungen, ein Abo abzuschließen, um diese App im vollen Umfang zu nutzen.
Leider wird ab der letzten Version zwingend IOS 17 gefordert, wodurch ich die App nicht mehr aktuell halten kann. Dieses ist aber durch die ständigen Punkte Änderungen zwingend notwendig.
Mir stellt sich die Frage, was sich an der App geändert haben soll, wodurch IOS 17 erforderlich ist.
So hält man sich nicht seine Abonnenten!!!

### 1/5 — This app makes my brain hurt

*2025-10-18, version 1.20.0*

Step 1. Purchase book worth tens of pounds 

Step 2. Use code in back to redeem at ageofsigmar.com/redeem

Step 3. Open this app and login to same account

Step 4. Inevitably realize that the code you entered has 0 impact on this app. I am not lying to you. Anyone who says the code changes things hasn’t explored the app.

Step 5. Uninstall and reinstall app hoping that digital content will work.

Step 6. Give up and just use New recruit + the book.

### 1/5 — Basura

*2025-10-12, version 1.20.0*

No está en español siendo prácticamente de pago, va fatal y tarda la vida en actualizarse...

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2025-10-12, version 1.20.0*

Everything behind a paywall even if you have warhammer+

### 1/5 — Language Spanish!!

*2025-10-10, version 1.20.0*

The Spanish language should be available. It's a huge community that's being neglected, and things like this aren't making progress. I'd even pay for the paid version.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Greedy

*2026-08-10, version 1.36.0*

How many god damn paywalls do you need, can’t look at anything even if you have the models. Can’t look at new things you might want to buy without buying an expensive book… you guys really know how to put off new players

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-07-29, version 1.35.1*

Trash and expensive. Paywall after paywall. There are plenty of free apps out there doing a better job than this. Got the app? now pay for your battletome if you want to make a list. Already paid? now pay for the general’s handbook so you can see the season rules and battle tactics…really? Shame on you GW

### 1/5 — Awful Search Function

*2026-07-06, version 1.34.0*

App is paywalled to the point of being useless. The search function is horribly implemented. Trying to figure out how something as simple as strikes first works is an absolute chore.

### 1/5 — Inutile

*2026-05-26*

Tout le contenu est bloqué si l’on a pas acheté le Battletome associé à la faction dont on veut connaître les règles ! J’ai acheté des figurines mais je n’ai même pas accès à leurs règles ?? On se moquerait pas un peu de nous ?

### 1/5 — The subscription gives you almost nothing

*2026-05-09, version 1.31.0*

Even with the subscription, you can’t see warscrolls for your faction without buying the $90+ dollar hard copy of the faction’s book. There is no way to see how strong your army is, or your opponents army. GW is actively trying to make Warhammer less fun with the repeated money-hungry decisions they make.

### 1/5 — Gw toujours aussi feignant

*2026-03-05*

Comme beaucoup de ces jeux, GW fait de moins en moins l’effort de traduction. Malgré une tarification toujours plus aberante

### 1/5 — Just play 3rd till they fix this

*2026-02-15, version 1.25.0*

Seriously if your not hyper competitive play 3rd with that app it’s great that’s what we do. they had balance updates all the way to the end and there in the app so the game isn’t super unbalanced. So your not missing that much at all tbh considering it’s all free. We pay so much for the models just to put the game for them behind a paywalls is unbelievable to me. Looking toward to 5th edition so I can try 4th for free

### 1/5 — I like it BUT

*2025-11-27, version 1.22.1*

I find the app really good with the picture, point and the lag out and then the quick access menu with your whole list and more common rules BUT having to pay for more than one list is abit of a stinker where it’s free on the other app. 40K more popular so why hinder AoS players with that just confusing but probably won’t ever get changed. they get money for making the player base buy physical copies of rules so adding another pay service on top of that idk seems greedy to me 🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Bug.

*2025-11-27*

After the update, certain factions only show the Army of Renown lists.

### 1/5 — Lazy

*2025-10-30, version 1.21.0*

Another lazy gw product

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Mega

*2026-07-08*

Mega

### 5/5 — Application ok mais pas gratuite

*2026-07-04*

Fonctionne bien le 04 juillet 2026.
Le fait de devoir payer pour faire plusieurs listes est un peu embêtant 
Permet de remplir les codes des battletomes pour augmenter les datas disponibles

### 5/5 — So helpful

*2026-04-25, version 1.30.0*

The only thing that I would change is a way to save an army so I don’t always have to find it.

### 5/5 — Keeping up to date and inline with battlescroll updates. Nice!

*2026-04-01, version 1.29.0*

Battle scroll drops, update available. Very cool.

### 5/5 — Aktuell und einfach

*2026-02-13*

Für mich das beste und einfachste tool für age of sigmar. Sehr einfaches list building, sehr aktuell, alles immer an einem Ort 👍🏻

### 5/5 — Freezes constantly

*2026-01-31, version 1.25.0*

App needs to have the UI optimized to allow for easier references for information I should have to click 30 drop down menus to read about relic and artefact choices etc… also this app freezes constantly when making army lists. How does a company that makes so much money selling 18 cents of plastic for 100 bucks not invest into their own products…

### 5/5 — Lost without

*2026-01-14, version 1.24.0*

Everyone giving this low stars. I’d be lost without this app. I know it’s not perfect but unless you want to hand write your army and opponents armies then be my guest. I’ve tried other apps too but this one so much more easier to navigate. I’m amazed it’s free seeing how everything else these days isn’t.

### 5/5 — Ronsil

*2025-06-11, version 1.16.0*

The app does exactly what you need it to! Easy to use and navigate. No limit on characters when naming a list is wonderful 🔨👌

### 5/5 — All you need in one place

*2025-06-02, version 1.15.0*

Very on point app. that allows quick check of rules and army building for all your AoS needs

### 5/5 — App works great

*2025-05-29, version 1.15.0*

Ignore the really bad rating, people are attacking GW's pricing model, and they have good reason to criticize, but the app itself works very very well. It's just hard for people to emotionally disconnect dissatisfaction with the companies policies and rating the app functionality.
