Community Insight:
Just like the title says, the app started off rocky and thats where a lot of the 1-2 stars came from. Now while its not perfect, its pretty solid for what it does and offers and currently keep being updated so even better.
Good but could be better. No button to give direct feedback on app. No ability to swiping on phone to go back instead of hitting the back button or when deleting specific armies or to export from the army itself by holding down like other apps. Effectively doesnt utilize the full feature of the phone which is simple to do. No windows version to print tactic cards since the game changes constantly (exporting from phone or printing from phone is a hassle). No way print the tactic cards (including commander cards), which you need the physical version of, or unit cards since the game changes constantly. Needs whats new within the app. The FAQ needs to be divided better (with different factions having their own FAQ along with the game).
We have been using this app since January of 2019. The app works great on our iPad, and we must say we have had no problems whatsoever. The app updates for the new units have been released at the time or even before we were able to buy them at our local hobby store. We would strongly recommend this app.
App is great, seems to function as intended. However, the Hand of the King set is missing Ramsay Snow which is integral to strategies. Edit: please add Winterfell Guards.
Fantastic app. Very helpful. Just needs newest units added.
Just got into the game. Im a House Bolton guy. The app does need an update as we cant add any neutral units or heros to our force.
Being able to swipe with your thumb, left to right, to get out of windows would make it easier than pressing the back button. Things like this should be available and done. No historical battle scenarios like Battle Whispering Woods they created (and more) uploaded.

On our IPhone 8 the app works great but every time we try and print our list the app crashes!! Please fix! Other then that keep up the good work.
The game is amazing. The app could use a lot of UX work. But we gave it a 5 because of how much fun the game is.
No drowned men, but GC is already in? Update! PLEASE.
Update the app. No Martell, no Varamyr, Targ 3 tough that the official app doesnt support units well into it their release.
Costs have changed and there are new units not included on the app.
Please update the units cost have changed in the past 3 months.
Im addicted to the song game but this app makes it worse. Easy to use app to create army lists and day dream about the next game while away from the table top. Only wish you could add more than 99 point for max army size. Our friend group and we play very large games and wish this was a feature.
There are some errors with cards in the app. Some of the commander cards show the abilities they give to a specific unit instead of the abilities they provide as a commander. Jaime Lannister and the mountain both have this issue.
New rules are out and paper unit cards are obsolete.
We love this app. It makes a huge difference in army building. Much easier to try different builds using this. The last update seems to have left out the dragon mechanics for the Targaryens, but Im sure this just needs a bug fix.
This app has been amazing until the new update made it so we cant create any armies on it. We were excited to create a Greyjoy army and now we cant do it.
We like the app but the latest update doesnt work. The create button is now greyed out.
Dude everything is there for you to create!! We only wish they included units or expansions we know are about to drop. Other than that, we love going on here and creating our armies. It would be cool if they created a function where you can unite factions. But it still super dope.
Right now, you can only export a code that other people can use to import to their device Clunky. Please add a feature to export Rich text lists.
Cannot add commanders to the army list. Also needs a defined area for attachments per units.
Not intuitive in how to add a commander and no directions on how to use. Still havent figured out how to add a commander. Finally figured out that we had to reduce the text scale size to be able to expose the + and – keys to add figures to our collection. Needs instructions.
Tried to use it for the first time to build a 40pt Lannister army. On our Pixel2 phone, the formatting is so bad, we cant click on the +1 to add a SvL starter set to our collection. Switched to our iPad and the formatting is fine. Added all our units to our collection. Tried to choose The Mountain as our commander and see that only two Lannister units are available to choose as Commanders even though we have a starter set added in our collection. Nice concept, but did anyone play test this thing at all? How could that have been missed. Love the game, but this app is useless.
- Easy to load armies. Interface is intuitive. 2. Really good resource for unit stats.
But needs an update. Still cant change point values, and its missing all the latest units. Im concerned that theyll have trouble keeping up once the flood of new Free Folk and Nights Watch units are released. Hard to argue with free, but Id pay money to have something fully functional and updated.
Good interface overall but needs to be updated with the latest products available on the market, that feels like a ball that has been dropped very badly.
Great way to manage collection. A fun tool for creating new armies and keeping them in one place while being able to try out new combos and keep them all in one place.
Good first release, but there are some annoying usability issues. You cant change the point value of your army. You can tap the number and type a new one, but then you cant save the new value. Also, you cant delete armies. These were the most glaring issues we found. Hopefully they can be fixed soon in an update. Otherwise, we like the app and definitely find it useful.
Some of the attachments and commanders are not are not appearing in the our Armies section . Even with ALL Units on.
