I’m conflicted on this app
I’m still not sure if paying for the app was worth it. It’s very neat that you can follow characters through their quests in the book but many times when I don’t know who a character is and I look them up they’re not even listed. It’s annoying. It’s not even people that are mentioned once and never again. I’m currently reading book two and Arya is reciting her names and I didn’t remember some of the people she mentioned so I looked them up but they’re not listed. And it’s not just one it’s several that aren’t listed. Ser Amory, Dunsen, when I was in book 1 there was another character I didn’t recognize and he too was not listed, I don’t remember his name now but it was knight. It’s also pretty buggy, sometimes after finding a name after clicking on it the app will just bug out and freeze as it’s loading the information. When this happens a reset won’t even fix the issue it’s hard to tell when the app will decide to work and when it won’t. When it does work or when the information IS listed it’s great though. Detailed and concise. However there’s blue links on sheets sometimes that work as links to other pages and they don’t always work. It needs work

Way too basic
I’ve paid to unlock all of the packs, and I’m sadly disappointed in how little detail there is compared to other online free sources. Naath’s page, for example, doesn’t mention that the butterflies are poisonous to those not native to the isle. You don’t even have Symeon Star-Eyes as a character either. I feel like anyone who has read the books will feel that most of the details you pay to unlock are far too basic. I expect to be able to find any detail I want from the series if I’m paying for an app. I was expecting a lot more for the price. The fan pages on A Wiki of Ice and Fire are infinitely better, and free!

Where have all the maps gone?
This app has changed for the worse. Juvenile and frankly cringeworthy artwork but most importantly for me, ALL BUT ONE OF THE MAPS HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
Absolute Must Have
If you love the world of ice and fire or simply watch GoT this app is just fantastic, so much great information
The best companion to the books you could have
The information is great. The illustrations are amazing. The maps are super helpful in visualizing battles that get very geography heavy. The spoiler protection is a PAID feature but is easily worth the 5 dollar asking price. Just select the last book you read and the information updates to only show the things established in the latest book you read. It’s genius!
I wish the bottom of the pages had a little bounce when you scroll to the bottom and that the UI was a little more clear. These are minor suggestions though and I still stand next to my 5 stars.

Almost perfect
This is a nice app to have while reading the books but the font is soooooo small especially on the characters profiles.. If it had an option to either increase the font or pinch the screen to make the text on the profiles easier to read it would be 5 stars easy.
Update to 5 stars: FONT INCREASE added! Not to mention the entire interface has been beautifully redesigned. AMAZING!!!! Great job!!!!!

Fix the scrolling
The app has lots of info and really good content. My only problem with it is the scrolling. It doesn’t feel as smooth and quick as normal iOS scrolling does and makes for a sub-par experience while reading longer bodies of text.
Get this Book!
This is the best book to really understand Game of Thrones! You can read all about the characters. There is so much more to see and do with this book! I would recommend this book to Everyone!!
This is a definite must have book for Game of Thrones readers !!

Pretty Good, But Could Be Improved
I love the fact that I can access so much information about these characters without going online to wikis and such. I also love the general layout, and the some of the features. The ability to see a character’s journeys across the books are also nice.
For improvements, I’d like to see tabs within each character’s entry. For example, if I’m viewing Jon Snow’s entry, I’d like to be able to click a tab to show what he did in Book 1, then tab over to see his actions in Book 2 and 3 without having to manually scroll down through all that text. Kinda like what a Wikipedia page does on the Wikipedia app.
All in all, if they can make this app just as good as, or better than, the Wiki of Ice and Fire online, that’d be ideal. I happily paid the five bucks.

Weeeeeeeeelll, because of the series the drawn images don't work
I read the books first. Bought the history, then the DVDs and Netflix, now the app...
I am guessing that the licensing fees are the big challenge here. BUT if the IMAGES in the app matched the actors in the series,mand their images in the series looked at least SIMILAR to the tv series representations...Then it would be. Ohesive. Right now, I'm translating.
