## Description

Warhammer 40,000: The App places core rules and codex content in the palm of your hand. Read the Core Rules for free, and use a fast, searchable reference to find datasheets, stratagems, weapons, and abilities during games. Browse codexes you own and plan your next army with ease.

Key features include Battle Forge, the official army list creator for on-the-go planning, and a streamlined workflow designed to speed up decisions between turns. The app is built to enhance your tabletop experience and will continue to grow with new functionality over time.

## Review summary

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not updated or complete: new codices, FAQs, detachments, and rules missing or delayed; data can be inaccurate or outdated.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.
