Is there an official name yet or do we just start searching various X-Wing/FFG related names?

According to FFG's site, it's called the Star Wars X-Wing Squad Builder, or perhaps just Squad Builder.

Just checked the Google Play store for "Star Wars X-Wing Squad Builder" and didn't find an app.

The smart option would be to search "Fantasy Flight Games", since it also searches publisher names.

Searched "Fantasy Flight Games". The only thing that came up was the dice app.

It's still the 12th where FFG is located. Their headquarters is in Minnesota. As of this post, there's 10 minutes to go until the 13th for them.

To be honest, I'm not expecting to see it online until noon at the earliest, but in this case, I'd be happy to be wrong!

My guess is that the app will release sometime in the morning, if not the early afternoon. Remember that Minnesota is in the Central Time Zone, so add an hour if you're in the Eastern Time Zone.

Hmmm. So a bit over 30min IF they set it to go live at 00:00 CDT.

Still no official squad builder... :(

About 10 till midnight PDT. If it is going off of Google/Apple Corporate's Time zone that is probably when it is hitting the app shops.

And then it didn't...

Just read somewhere that (at least a few years ago), Apple used to release apps around midnight in the local timezone of each appstore. Also developers can only set a date for release, but not a specific time for that date.

Having said that, 9.30 in Western Europe and still no sign of the app. ?

App or riot ffg, you won't be able to stop the army of nerds

Imagine if it was not for the great people who brings us the unofficial list builders, we would just be completely in the dark. The managing of this release has just been odd. Soft articles about mostly nothing. No mention on the card expansions for future waves or alternative ways to play. Just nothing. Thanks to all the people behind the unofficial list builders, you make it possible to pack a list from home and actually play with our new stuff in stores today.

Well the PDF have been live for some time, and it is possible to use pen and paper - it is an older technology but it checks out.

They also postet a browser site for building soime day (can't remember the adress)... Is this one live now?

Ffg is late to something? You don’t say!!

Unless they have to manually push a button to publish today during their work hours (05:54 current time cdt), I don’t see how this is not out yet.

I just got all of my conversion Kits and Core set in the post, went to download the app and can't find it.

Then find a tweet from team covenant that suggest the app won't be available until wave 2?!

Really? I also see the apps for Mansions of Madness, their other RPGs, etc. come up.

The squad builder isn't out yet, I just expect that whatever its name is that search should find it.

This is today.

FFG motto/slogan right there. You should be in marketing! :)

I heard on Facebook that you need a QR-code right now that is in the core set, haven't had that confirmed and my delivery ist stúck and won't arrive till Saturday the earliest.

Edit: Very likely confirmed fake news, continue waiting!

That's unexpected.

Needing a core set to get the app. I must have missed that info.
