### 5/5 — Must own for GOT enthusiasts

*2025-03-13*

I have used this app for years. I purchased all of the add-on content which I found to be well worth the cost. Martin’s world is so dense, this app is an invaluable resource for deeply exploring, understanding, and just keeping everything straight. I even use it for reference while reading Martin’s other works, such as A History of Westeros. There’s so many great features like the interactive maps and character journeys which serve as a phenomenal companion while reading the books. I wish there was an app like this for other fantasy worlds, particularly Tolkien’s. For those who love the books and the lore, this app is a must have.

### 1/5 — Pathetic

*2025-02-26, version 3.4*

There is almost nothing of value unless you pay. Even the maps are very limited, with few locations named. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — Missing tons of information

*2025-02-06, version 3.4*

This is an incomplete encyclopedia of GRRM's work. Missing some very prominent characters and places. I was a fool and bought the full version, thinking it would have that additional information. I feel scammed.

### 1/5 — Ruthless

*2024-12-10, version 3.4*

Even after reluctantly purchasing all info packs, it continues to insist I purchase more to use hyper links. It’s a clunky app, and the map is pretty terrible. Don’t waste your time.

### 1/5 — It’s a paid app

*2024-10-05, version 3.4*

It’s only good if you pay for it but when you pay it’s great. Shame more content isn’t free

### 5/5 — MAPSSSS!

*2024-08-12, version 3.4*

Love the app.  For us map nerdz, it is worth the price of admission just for the maps.  Now give us some Sothoryos (I know, he said that isn’t happening)

### 2/5 — Mistakes

*2024-07-28, version 3.4*

I don’t see a way to directly send feedback to the app makers but there are some mistakes in the info provided that I’m surprised could have passed scrutiny.  I’m using the app to make sense of HOtD, Fire and Blood, etc, and it’s hard when the app I’m looking to reference is confused as well.  For example, Alicent and Viserys’ fourth child is Daeron.  The app lists Viserys’ son Daeron as Daeron I and links that son to the page of Daeron I who it then states is the monarch and son of Aegon III (right??). I know it’s confusing with all the repeating names but that’s why I paid for the app.  So the app isn’t really helping me if it turns out I know more than the app 😬🫣

### 2/5 — Charged me $15.99 on my card when i thought it would only be $4.99

*2024-07-01, version 3.4*

Why did it charge me $15.99, when it said it would only be $4.99?! Did I accidentally buy all the packs separately then the whole bundle?! WTH?! Love the app but hate that it did that.

### 2/5 — Feels predatory

*2024-06-07, version 3.4*

I purchased all of the info packs at once - advertised in the app for $4.99 and it charged my card $26.20.

Heads up to all. 

Otherwise the app is cool. Would be a 5/5 had it not charged my card a different amount than it should have.

### 1/5 — Where’s all the content?

*2024-02-06, version 3.4*

When I first open the app, I tap “houses,” and get nothing. Same with places, groups, creatures, religions, things. Have the devs destroyed all the content? Would’ve been useful for late watchers of the show like me.
