Armada Fleet Builder app for iOS
Just tried it. Seems straightforward. Only real thing that I found counterintuitive is cards sorted alphabetically compared to by cost. That’s not a functional issue but a personal preference
Aurora is definitely a good benchmark to follow, and the app looks good so far! I did have a few suggestions though:
- Unless I'm missing it, there needs a way to duplicate ships.
- Using the +/- to duplicate squads is a little tedious. Need to press "+" every time to increase by one in the little pop-up menu. It would be nicer to just have +/- buttons without the pop-up menu.
- Currently takes 2 steps to add an upgrade cards to a ship. Step 1 is selecting from the list, then step 2 is pressing "Add". I know Aurora does it in one step by including more card details in the list.
Thanks for the feedback! The latest update should have the ability to duplicate a ship by swiping left, and it also replaces the squadron increase/decrease with a normal menu. Great point on adding upgrade cards to ships too. I'll add that to the list!

Great app! Though I did notice that the defense retrofit added by Minister Tua doesn't allow me to select an upgrade, could be a bug?
I would love a simplified list export and a way to move ships up and down the list!
I'm so glad to finally have an Armada app on IOS!!! Thanks so much for your work!
I like it. I have been following its progress for a month or two now. It is improving all the time as the bugs are being worked out.
@Darth Sanguis
Yes great catch! Seems to only happen on ships that dont have a defensive retrofit already. Should be an easy fix
Excellent.
Nevermind. Found it.
Edited by jmswoodI e managed to find a reliable glitch but I can’t pin down which addition does it. I’m trying to flesh out a 500 point CC fleet.

It reliably crashes when I build the list, but I haven’t pinned down what exactly triggers the crash. And I do realize it goes over 500 points, but this was what I was trying to enter
Hi Church14,
Thanks for letting me know! Can you let me know what iOS version and phone you are using? I have been trying to reproduce it using the debugger but haven't been able to get it to crash yet.
Can you also verify that you are using the latest version? I just put out an additional update with some bug fixes, but nothing to do with crashes so this is kinda worrying.
Hi,
first of all, thanks for your huge dedication to bring us this app, I like it a lot, I only miss one feature, the possibility to export the lists to share on Telegram/whatsapp any program of chatting.
Thanks and continue bringing us this marvellous app.

+1!
A "text" export would be the cherry on the cake, but man thanks for such a great app!
Y’ALL NEED THIS!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you @vitasmortis . I’ve been watching the dev over the last month or so and i love what I see so far. I’ve provided input via the website and your responsiveness is awesome! I can’t wait for the collection feature to get completed, thanks for that! I’m about to drop battlescribe and go fully over. A minor addition I’d like to see is an ability to sort fleet lists by alphabetical order, cost, or manually. Currently, they stack in the order they were created. If i had to pick one, I’d prefer alphabetical order please. Love the graphics and other easy reference items!!! Great job and thanks in advance for the upcoming improvements.
Thanks for putting the app together, as a new player this has been fantastic for me to play around with and build lists.
Great app for me. Really using it too much for my own good.
Thanks for this app
@vitasmortis is the collection function fully operational yet? When I select it, the wave menus don’t open as if the waves haven’t been populated yet. Thanks again for the hard work!
Thanks again for all the kind words everyone!
@WGNF911 That's strange that you still arent seeing the collections in the list. It should all be there in the latest update. That usually means there was a network issue trying to update the database. I have another build to submit to Apple for review tonight or tomorrow with much better error handling though, so if you are still having problems after this next update, we will at least know exactly what the issue is.
I also added in a text export feature since so many people are asking for it
Next up is sorting fleets and ship/squadrons in lists, plus searching the card reference lists!
Thank you again!!! The collection function is working fine now. I noticed it took an update yesterday morning (I think that's when it was) and plunked in my stuff. All is well and I'm a happy admiral!
@vitasmortis I've been using your app A LOT lately. Thanks so much for sharing.
Two bugs that I thought I'd pass on to you:
1. You cannot have more than 12 items (ships/squad types) in your list without causing a crash when deleting or re-opening the list. The list then remains un-openable. (That would explain @Church14 's bug above.
2. Tycho is considered non-unique.
Thanks again. I've really enjoyed the speed and non-internet-requiredness of your app. The text export has been great for talking fleets with my regionals "training partner".
Thanks @deDios ! I've fixed the Tycho issue in the DB, so it should update next time you run. I'm trying to chase down the crash though. Can you let me know what phone and iOS version you are using?
I'm on an iPhone5 and my iOS is 11.1.2 It is pretty consistent an error on my phone, but not a show stopper because I rarely have lists with that many activations.
I really like the errata/clarifications included right with the traits/objectives/etc. That was a great touch.
Wow that was a tricky bug to fix, but I have it sorted now and it is waiting for review from Apple. Hopefully it gets in before their holiday break.
Thanks again @deDios for spotting that! Also, I cant imagine even trying to play a list with 12+ activations!
Edited by vitasmortisAnd the update is already approved. Yay!
