War Room 1.3 Update Released, Has It Been Fixed?

War Room is Privateer Press' in-house app for players who want to keep their lists, cards, and other information for Warmachine and Hordes digital. Since its launch a lot of players have remained skeptical of the app's performance, many with good reason. The app has been known to crash, delete saved information, and for some it won't even start.

The app currently has 2.3/5 stars on the Android market, and the iOS ratings are nearly the same. Users are reporting poor execution in the app's presentation, claiming that the app will freeze over time, gamers are losing purchased content when switching to a new device, and some are reporting that it still hangs on startup. The idea behind War Room is a great leading off point, but can Privateer Press make the app work?

The company just posted a video on their site for War Room 1.3, the newest update for the app. From the video, here are the main points about what's changed in the app:

• added changelog feature that allows you to see all the changes that have been made to the app in one place
• new quick navigation button added to the top-left side of the screen that makes navigating the app much faster
• quick search function added, allowing users to search through the rules from any rules reference view
• theme force list option added, lets users check out theme lists while looking at warcasters/warlocks
• warjacks, warbeasts, and attachments have been removed from their own categories and added under a new attachment function
• theme force function added, lets players select a theme force from a warcaster/warlock's list, and the requirements to build the force will be shown for players to meet
• War Room automatically calculates bonuses for theme forces while building them, taking into account lowered point costs and more

You can see all the news in the video below. For those who use War Room already, what do you think of the changes? The new update will be live on February 24th.
