Review summary

Launch Bay Next is a popular and feature-rich X-Wing 2.0 squad builder app favored over the official app for its comprehensive collection management and regular updates. Users appreciate its intuitive controls and diligent maintenance by the developer. However, it suffers from stability issues like frequent crashes, freezing, and login problems causing loss of data access. Additionally, data inaccuracies and device compatibility problems are common complaints. Despite some missing features, it remains a valuable and well-liked tool for X-Wing players.

Pros

The app is well-designed and user-friendly, featuring intuitive swipe gestures for copy and delete functions.
It supports comprehensive X-Wing 2.0 squad building with features like collection management and regular timely updates to data reflecting game rule changes.
It is preferred over the official FFG app by many users due to features like detailed collection tracking and better print/export options.
The developer is diligent about maintaining and updating the app to keep it functional and up-to-date with game editions.
The app offers convenient and robust functionality for managing and building X-Wing squads, making it a valuable resource for players.

Cons

The app experiences frequent crashes, especially when adding certain ships or upgrades, and can become unresponsive or freeze during list creation.
There are multiple data inaccuracies in the app, including missing pilots, incorrect upgrade slots, and missing indicators for abilities.
The app has issues with logging in and loading saved lists across devices, resulting in loss of access to previously created lists.
Performance issues occur on various devices, including poor compatibility or display problems on certain Android phones (e.g., OnePlus) and older devices.
The app lacks some features such as quick builds for faster list creation and PDF export options for formatted lists, which users desire for convenience.

2025-01-17	Et*****	The app has become Unusable. I thought it was my old IPhone that was the issue, nope! I got a brand new phone and it still doesn't work!? I am really bummed out because I love this app.

2025-01-05	Ty*****	After changing phones I lost access to the lists I had made on the old version cause they were tied to my account. But with the update the app gets stuck loading when trying to log in. Still works and I can make new lists but I would like access to all my old ones as well. If there's a fix for this it would be appreciated. Also on 2.0 Legacy the M3-A's weapon hard point is broken. It doesn't let you pick anything

2024-12-18	Tr*****	Hi Andre thanks for making this app! Just a few things I have noticed. I play legacy 2.0 M3A interceptor (scum) weapon hardpoint doesn't work. You can't add missiles/cannon/torps to the M3A in the app. There are probobly a lot more things I'm sure I don't know as well as you I will try to find any compared to the 2.0 wiki. I just installed. Thanks again.

2024-12-10	Ma*****	If you took the liberty to tell me that mobile screens are not meant to be used horizontally then I can do the same and tell you that mobile screens were never meant to be used vertically

2024-09-09	Of*****	With the patch, I'm happy that this great app is functional again. I was worried I lost this as a resource. Easy, convenient, and well-throughout.

2024-09-08	Kh*****	Update: On reflection it is a free app and basically the only choice one has to play X Wing. Would gladly pay $ for a premium version. 4 stars because previous versions of the app were better. Current app crashes often when attempting to add ships, add upgrades, or just making squads in general. For example, cannot add Z95s to any Scum list as it crashes immediately. Adding more than one of the same ship causes them to overlap, making it impossible to upgrade. Going back to 3.1 app for now.

2024-09-02	Br*****	The app has had several updates over the years through the editions. The maker is always diligent about keeping it updated. It does have occasional performance issues, but they're minor enough to ignore. If you play X-wing, this app is a fantastic tool.

2022-06-18	Mi*****	No longer launches or accesses data consistently on my Pixel 5 (Android 12) phone. Crashes completely, and re-installs / reboots do almost nothing to help. This app was great when it worked consistently, but now it's unusable for me. I'd love to see it return to form someday, as I would have rated highly even a few months ago.

2022-06-06	Gw*****	This app has missing pilots (Saesee Tiin on the Delta 7) and incorrect upgrade slots (the clone Z95s are mostly incorrect. Slider doesn't have a cannon slot yet the app gives him one). That's just the errors I've caught with the Republic so I'm sure the other factions have errors as well.
