I like many others have an Android smart phone. Gamers of all kinds can imagine many ways to use smart phones to assist us in gaming. I know I have been looking for a mobile army list maker since I got my Android. I have been waiting for Lone Wolf Development to port Armybuilder over to the Android or iPhone.
Well now we have an alternative. Army Creator Mobile by Magic Toad Software is now availible through the Android Market for $3.49 USD. Army Creator allows for army list construction using Android menus that pulls data from XML sheets. The menus take a little bit to learn but one you have a grasp on them it takes no time to build a force. As you add units and options it automatically adds the points up for you. It has two views, one is just a list of points and options the other has unit stats layed out like you would see in other builder programs. The units can be reorganized after you've completed the list by a simple drag feature. Lists can be exported out of the program as a .TXT file for emailing or printing.
This app can support any point based gaming system./ The author has already created a 40k file that allows creation of most current armies and has said updates are coming that will add more armies to the list. The use of XML files means anyone can add to or create their own datafiles. The author even has instructions on his web site to help you with this. Now this App is still early in development there are a few bugs and the developer know about it. In fact he is requesting anyone to email him who has an issue so he can try to address it. He has asked that anyone that contacts him with a bug to please include all of the information that you can, it will help out a lot.
