User Reviews

Overall, reviewers find The App to be a mostly disappointing experience: it provides basic reference rules and codex data for bought books but is hampered by subscription-based paywalls, frequent crashes, and slow/unstable performance. Content is often not up to date, with new codices and detachments absent or delayed, and the army builder is buggy and incomplete. The app's user interface for iPad is particularly criticized. Many users express frustration and seek refunds or alternatives, noting that Warhammer+ or other apps like Battlescribe offer more reliable solutions.

Pros

Gives access to core Warhammer 40,000 rules and codices you own, in one place.
Useful as a quick reference for stat blocks and codex data when away from physical books.
Allows viewing/working with lists for models you own; having many items and lists available is a strong point.

Cons

Heavy paywall: most content, including data sheets, locked behind subscription.
App instability: frequent crashes and bugs persist for years (e.g., loadouts crash on Ork Deff Dreads).
Content not updated or complete: new codices, FAQs, detachments, and rules missing or delayed; data can be inaccurate or outdated.
Incomplete/buggy army-building features: roster builder issues, incorrect point calculations, missing detachments such as Boarding Patrol.
Poor UI/UX and performance, especially on iPad: clunky navigation, slow load times, missing dice-rolling, no split-screen.

Recent reviews

I downloaded this app only for it to continue to always push for the subscription. I’ve also unlocked a 40K codex for use in this app, for it to always display the data in that codex as locked. I contacted the support team about my codex not being available and going through all the steps they suggested for it still be locked. In comparison The Age of Sigmar app shows my AoS codex perfectly fine.

One of the main reasons I recently started playing 40k is because of its physical presence. Hand painted models, rulers, dice, terrain, etc. all are best done being real objects. Why do the rules need to be so separate from everything else? Im confused why Games Workshop feels the need to make the rules digital... It's probably cheaper but I would prefer to pay more for a physical copy. If I wanted a digital game, I would play video games, not board games. There definitely could be a world were there are physical and digital rules. We live in the world with a stinky mobile app unfortunately.
