Woh Gaz, I didn't mean to rile you there.
Addition isn't a weakness of mine, I simply like using apps to build multiple lists so I have them all to hand and readily available. Is that so bad? I can still add up lists using the cards without a problem and I'm happy to purchase the decks as its cheaper then owning the cards + models etc, so on that point I agree with you, apologies if my post made it seem another way.
As for the usability, you just can't beat a good old marker pen. It's faster to use, easier for your opponent to view and to see yourself from a glance. I'm sure some people will prefer this app and that's fair enough, that's up to them, but I can't see it being very user friendly on non-tablet devices.
The stats issue is due to PP not allowing the posting of stats online other then by themselves, so sites use the work-around of comparing stats. That's just a legal issue and has nothing to do with Battle College etc.
Building an army and viewing the cards etc is superior to iBodger but with one fatal difference; iBodger was free. I'm sure there are many people out there who don't want to use Warroom to play battles and just want to do list building and are not willing or able to pay out for the decks, instead preferring to spend their money elsewhere. It's a personal choice and one they're entitled to.
I didn't intend to rile anyone with my post, just simply state that I don't personally think it is very useful, that I won't be using it for battling with, but I will no doubt purchase the decks so I can merrily list build.
