## Review summary

Users like that the app can replace paper tracking and shows strong potential—especially on tablets—but many report missing Classic/Alpha options, frequent bugs and lost veteran purchases, an incomplete mech database, poor phone usability, and limited export/printing features. Overall promising but needs stability, content, and UI fixes.

### Pros

- Replaces paper record-keeping; tracks entire lance/mech stats and can print/export sheets in some cases
- Feels like a promising official Battletech companion with clear potential and positive reception from fans
- Generally works well on tablets (larger screen recommended) and can simplify game setup and tracking

### Cons

- Classic mode/options missing or Alpha Strike-only selection (users expect both systems)
- Unstable/buggy behavior and purchase problems — veteran upgrade lost, app stops working or refuses to restore purchases
- Incomplete mech database and few record sheet configurations; inability to create/upload missing mech profiles
- Poor phone UX: small text, fiddly fields, landscape/tablet-focused layout and quirky search; limited export/PDF/download options
