I just got Battlescribe on my iPhone, as it was the only army-builder program I could find for 30k. I downloaded the Horus Heresy data thing from all the game choices....but then what?

I search for data and it transfers me to a Google search for which the top result is BSData / Repositories GitHub. Is that where I somehow download the armybuilder? I just don't want to get any virus or crap on my phone accidentally.

I dont know how iphone battlescribe looks like, i use android. For android you need to go to manage data, and click on the three dots next to horus heresy, and select refresh data. Then all catalogues are downloaded and you can create lists.

Battlescribe cannot host or otherwise be involved with points values or rules.
So, volunteers create the army list packages, which are hosted in Github.
BS can lead you, but is not permitted to make it too easy.

I use Android and Windows, not iPhone.
Download the relevant package, and import it into the BS Manage Data area.
Or, save the URL to the data, and post that into the Manage Data section. This works better, as it updates itself.
