Community Insight:
Trying to buy the full card list and it keeps crashing or saying purchasing unavailable. We guess Ill keep our money then.
Title says it all this is a dead app.
But it needs a landscape mode for iPad.
There needs to be a way to easily access upgrades without having to pick units to put them on, but we love the way this is going.
The screen scaling is broken on the iPhone X. Update: its been 3 updates now and they havent fixed this. Does Wyrd not test on the latest devices.
It makes it hard to read anything.
Hey the app is great, and we will buy the full version, but they need to fix it to look right on the iPhone X. They are screens that are too big and get in the way when using it on the X. Looking forward to using this app on a reg basis for our malifaux games.
Easy access to errata cards with the $10 one time fee to unlock all character cards and abilities is great. This does include some artwork as well and you can scroll through characters with multiple artwork such as minions with three dif versions and such. Hopefully this will grow with feedback from the community.
We have been waiting for a great Malifaux App for a while.
When you select a henchman for your leader it deducts the models point costs from your pool. The henchmen should be free when theyre the leader. Also stuffed pigs are 3 points, not 2.
