Must own for GOT enthusiasts
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.

Pathetic
There is almost nothing of value unless you pay. Even the maps are very limited, with few locations named. Don’t waste your time.
Missing tons of information
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.
Ruthless
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.
It’s a paid app
It’s only good if you pay for it but when you pay it’s great. Shame more content isn’t free
MAPSSSS!
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)
Mistakes
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 😬🫣

Charged me $15.99 on my card when i thought it would only be $4.99
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.
Feels predatory
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.

Where’s all the content?
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.
Stole my money
Paid for the all access pass can’t open stuff been ripped off. Joffery must be behind this!
Nothing works
Don’t know if it’s because I didn’t pony up for in-app purchases, but I can only access the most basic and obvious characters, and no houses or places at all. Either the app doesn’t work or the free version is pointless. Either way, there are WAY better free apps out there that do everything they promise.

Update on my original review
AWESOME! Now that I’ve learned how to navigate through this app! I take back my repulsive original review! I was wrong… I absolutely LOVE this App!
In desperate need of updating!
Would love this if it included everyone from Aegon’s conquest forward!
Sad publishers trying to make it in a digital world
The old guard publishers want to bleed more money from you using the same model as before. They are just reselling you highlights of the same books.
Wishing for an update
I’m new to the GRRM universe and have loved getting into HOTD/F&B but wish this app was expanded on! Would really love to see that information recorded as well on an app as easy as this but the wikia and google will do I suppose.
People
It’s cool but I would list “People” alphabetically by their last name. Would make the navigation less time consuming
Good start for getting into a song of ice and fire
This app heavily focuses on the A song of ice and fire series if you are reading those books it is a good starting point. However if you are wanting to learn about the history of the world of ice and fire before Robert’s rebellion you would be better of using YouTube videos and wiki’s as they are far more in-depth and informative than this app is at present.

Literally cannot view anything unless you immediately pay $8
This app has no features in the free version of it. Downloaded it just to find everything locked behind a pay wall.
Not Updated. In App Purchases
Has not been Updated for House of Dragons.
Also I’m surprised to see that it requires a $4.99 purchase to complete.
I already pay for HBO and the books - and for some known reason, there is no map in “Fire & Blood”
