This builder is the only one that I use as I find it to be easy and do (almost) everything I want!

http://xwing-builder.co.uk/build

I said "almost" because it currently has a couple of bugs and I believe the author frequents the forums but I cant think of his name!

I tried posting feedback at the site, but that didnt work either, one of the bugs!

I am using an iPad and Ive lost the ability to enter a Build Name and change the points values! When I tap on the popup to do either, the popup disappears! Hence, I can no longer save my builds either!

Any/all help is greatly appreciated!

While I tend to prefer the "Unofficial" one, the (Yet Another) works far, far better on mobile devices.

I'm not sure exactly which one your referring to but I'm guessing it's this one http://xwing-builder.co.uk/build? It does have a few quirks as I believe it's meant for pc use but also works with phone browsers. However using a phone does incur bugs since it's rendering it for a phone vs pc. That will be up to the builder to fix. My suggestion is try emailing him on a pc instead of your phone and see what happens.

I use the yet another one on my iphone. Works great.

I'm not Voidstate, but have you tried clearing Safari's web cache and reloading the page? Sometimes that fixes issues with my builder.

Ive tried multiple things on my end over a couple of weeks now to no avail.

But now that I know Voidstate is the author Ill try to get a hold of him.

Thanks!

Hi there, I have the exact same problem, but found a workaround. If you tap the title bar of the popup (where it says "squadron details"), then the text cursor goes in the squadron name text field and you can interact normally with all the elements of the popup.

I find Voistate's builder has the better interface, it's nice and clean. I'm perfectly happy living with a few glitches on touchscreen devices considering it's made for free, beautifully designed and very frequently updated!

I fixed darkflop's typo, so hopefully that should complete the summoning ritual.

Not to mention the guy was updating it while backpacking with his family across Europe or something?

did you reinstall windows?? lol

That worked!!! Thank you!

I wrote my own to use on my Surface. No need for cards at all: I've got every ship and it's upgrades right there on my screen. Tokens just sit on top of it (and I must say, it looks cool with the light shining through them)

It can be a bit tricky, I know (I use it on my iPhone and iPad, too, and share your frustrations). However the interface is really designed for desktop/laptop and I don't want to have to make compromises for small screens. Besides, the framework I use (Dojo) is great for desktop apps but isn't so good for touch screens.

I have tried to make it a bit more usable on small screens with the little arrows to hide parts of the interface you don't need. It won't help with this issue but it's with knowing. For this issue, I'll see if I can find a way to turn off the clicking on the background to close popups.

Don't forget that YASB and mine both allow you to export your squadron as XWS so you can move them between the two apps. My app in fact has an export straight to YASB button if you click export...

I wish it had the option to manually change what components I own. Even though there's a full component list, and you can input your collection, you can only pick specific FFG products to own. So if you've bought any individual cards or traded some of yours away, your available components on the list won't accurately reflect what you own anymore.

Your name is Fergus? I'd stick with voidstate, too.

(Seriously, though, thanks for the awesome X-Wing tool.)

Thank you for all your hard work on the app Fergus!! Its the only app I use for XWing as It has all the features I like in one! I dont mind little quirks as long as I know how to work with/around them, like this popup question! My favorite feature is being able to read the text of the upgrades in order to select them. Some apps only have the names and I dont have them all memorized!

What is the G-A1 star fighter that is in the scum ships list? Its a Folder but there are (rightly) no ships in the folder to add to a list.

Do any of the squad builders allow you to mix factions?

That's on my to-do list. I'll add it in when I get some free time.

I dont know of any that allow mixing factions.

Might be worth having a wee look at this as a way of saying a small thank you to Voidstate for all of his hard work.

Random Question. In the middle of building a list (Currently sitting at 68 pts), I've not saved it, or named it.

Bottom of the page says "This squadron has never been built before!" okay, nothing unusual there, but it has auto-named the Squad for me....... "Laser Brain Squadron"

Erm, why?

...it has auto-named the Squad for me....... "Laser Brain Squadron"

Erm, why?

An early version of the squadron builder had a "random squadron name" option which used existing squadrons, Star Aars quotes and my own rubbish sense of humour to fill the squadron's name. I took off the button but kept the random name as a surprise that only kicks in very occasionally. I guess you just got lucky.

Anyone know where I can get the app? It isn't on google play store anymore.

I've had a weird issue with it seemingly-randomly adding wins and losses to lists for no readily discernible reason. Other than that, it's fantastic and my weapon of choice for fiddling with X-Wing lists when I'm supposed to be working.

Oh, one little suggestion - I'd love to be able to change the sort order when scrolling through my squadron list to find whatever I'm looking for. In particular, being able to sort by date would be super helpful. Unless there's already a way of doing that that I'm too thick to spot.
