Great for viewing warscrolls and it's frequently updated with any changes. New format is also much better than the old one where you had to download each individually. The search feature also works well for finding anything quickly. I haven't bought anything on the app yet so I can't comment on those, though I would like if there was something to tell you at a glance whether you have access to it (battalions, for example)
Extremely useful for having quick access to warscrolls without the need to flip through my battletomes (also great that it's the most updated version too). Azyr (the subscription) is quite useful for building your lists and keeping them stored in the app, but it's definitely an optional feature for most users. Really wish I had a way to link the app to the battletomes I've physically bought, as not having access to battletomes without buying them again digitally is frustrating.
There are a few bugs, like how you interact with books you've purchased. There is no highlighing feature for text, pinch to zoom is buggy, and when moving from page to page. I would like to be able to see the point cost of units on their war scrolls if i purchased the necessary book. Because I have to hop from the warscrolls to the battletome/GH it makes the experience frustrating. I feel I wasted my money on books that are difficult to interact with leaving my purchases unused. :(
This app is good for building armies, but was better before the update. It used to have more army functions. Also it doesn't let you add books to your library that you have a physical copy of. The same is true for warscrolls and battle plans. It needs a scan feature like the rest of the Warhammer apps. It also needs to let you put your pictures of your army in it again, like it did before the update.
Absolute BS. You need an ACTIVE subscription. Meaning the auto renew is on. If you cancel or stop the auto renew. It doesn't matter how much time you have left, you aren't allowed to see your lists. My sub ends on March 22, its March 1st, so why can't I see the lists, I paid for the time?! What an absolute joke of a company. I will be back-charging everything associated with this app due to scummy practices.
While the app is great, the functionality of Azyr has really tanked. Majority of the GHB 2020 content has not been properly integrated and old/retired content is still accessible for list building (which can be confusing). These issues have been going on, unchanged, for a year now. Warscroll Builder is a better tool than Azyr as its properly kept up to date with all game changes.
Great little app but the updates are slow to arrive and sometimes when having a new book's contents added they just miss out rules all together..like for example certain units being battleline if a wight king is taken as a general..just an example but I've seen a few issues like this. When paying a subscription for a service, No matter how little I'm paying, I expect a service that at least updates frequently to fix these issues.
Edit. If used purely for checking warscrolls this is still a very useful app. All of its other function are clunky and the app rather than improving only seems to get worse. Updates to azyr take too long which isn't too big a deal but they are then also bugged and randomly decided that you aren't subscribed or delete all of your saved lists. Having too pay £25 for a battletome and then having to purchase the digital copy to use in app is also a kick in the teeth.
Very solid experience, clean interface and things do what they need to. You can buy books digitally for about half price in-app, which is nice, although the reader seems a bit limited (cannot specify page number, but does have built-in content menu and bookmarks). Overall a good companion app!
The app itself and how Azyr works is fantastic. Army building works almost perfectly though I do wish you could set specific points limits instead of adjusting +/- 250 from the allotted values. The biggest reason that I'm not giving it five stars is simply the lack of consistent updates. It can takes months to even half a year for some values to be updated. The subscription is cheap but I still expect updates to coincide with a new release.
While this app looks great and would be amazing to use, the fact that they are always so slow to update and even slower to fix bugs or issues that are reported makes using it for actual list building and gameplay nearly impossible. As others have pointed out, Point cost updates can take months to be implemented after the release of a new handbook or FAQ. And as a seraphon player, I'm even more disappointed as they haven't updated them properly since the new Army book release months ago.
When this app works, it works bery well. The issue I have with it is the instability of the app. Across 2 separate devices I have had to uninstall and reinstall when the app failed to recognize that I had an azyr subscription. Every time I do this, I lose all of my army lista please fix this.
The app is ok, but paid Azyr is not perfect. It has a bug for Meeting Engagement double-sized units in main part of an army. I'll think twice before extending the subscription for the next month. I would prefer to use web version. It's free and more convenient for me.
stick to battlescribe! this has a nice layout , but can be confusing to find exactly what you want. also everything is stuck behind paywalls, if i have the physical book i need to buy it again in the app to unlock sections. also there you need a subscription to make, save and print your list. everything battlescribe does for free!
Subscription service that should be free, if I buy my faction battletome for 40+ don't try to make me buy it again for digital version in an app I have to pay monthly for. It's really scummy GW, you make enough money... Also the critical rules updates that happen same time every year are months and months late to arrive in the paid app. Just terrible service and product.
It's not bad but the pricing is ridiculous, no way I'm paying twice for a book. I also feel that Azyr is not worth it, not nearly enough information. Battlescribe works much better and gives you everything you need. Would love to use this exclusively but they need to step up their game.
Edited from 4 stars to 2 stars. Works great going through warscrolls but it doesn't sync the libraries between my Android devices. I purchased a battletome and was only able to download it from my tablet. It still doesn't give me the option to download on my Android phone but it can't be purchased again either. Edited back to 4 stars as it started to sync about 4 hrs after purchase.
Very hard to navigate and list building is not beginner friendly at all. I literally have no idea how to build a valid list in this app. After having used the 40k app (which isn't perfect either) this is a MAJOR downgrade. No explanation for warscroll battalions and very confusing setup/actions. Cannot figure out how to delete lists. However the Warscrolls themselves are very nice but that's the only positive of this app. Will be unsubscribing because the list building ain't worth the money
Great for list building, while only needing a smartphone. It has the option to add the warscrolls you're using to a quick reference 'my battle' section which speeds up things. Avoid purchasing the books through here, issues with data and DRM mean that you're liable to lose them; buy a physical copy or ebook elsewhere instead. This app works in conjunction with the rules and battletomes and doesn't replace them
If I could give 0 stars, I would. I bought one of the Idoneth books and spent $70 on it. Absurd pricing but not even the point. When I switched phones, it will not let me restore purchases so I am out $70 on this piece of junk app that hardly works in the first place. So frustrating I could scream.
This App is great, the list builder is simple. The top complaint I see is basically that it isn't battlescribe. However unlike battlescribe the app tends to be more up to date, and only allows legal list builds. Also you can generally get access to new warscrolls before the Battletome drops. That being said you do need the Battletome still for rules reference when it comes to army special rules, but this app takes the place of warscroll cards easily.
I cancelled my subscription because I've found quite a few things wrong while building Seraphon armies, I thought I'd wait for an update but even after the recent update they haven't resolved these issues so I chose to cancel my subscription with the hope of resubscribing once they fixed it. Rather than providing access up to the date I had paid for it has cancelled my access straight away, never seen any other service do that l. Poor business practice
Battletomes are NOT OPTIMISED for your phone. You are supposed to constantly zoom in and out on the pages. Which makes quite hard to concentrate on the text. What you get in an protected pdf of a physical battletome, without any keyword search, cross links. This is ridiculous in terms of user experience and not worth $20. Also there is no accounts, so If I want to open battletome on a different device, say ipad (because battletome is unreadable on the phone), I am supposed to buy it again.
This app is great to look at and easy to navigate, visually it is much more appealing than most other apps they do similar things. Unfortunately the subscription service to make lists and check point values is not worth getting. The points values are actually not up to date a month after the generals handbook came out, there doesn't seem to be any quick view systems to check the stats of the unit while you are creating the list and more. Overall great for the free stuff but that's it really.
