### 5/5 — Honestly a fantastic app. Glad it’s free

*2021-06-14, version 2.97*

I always have to redownload it when rewatching the series. I like it a lot.

### 5/5 — Thorough and accurate

*2020-03-08, version 2.97*

Great app even years after the show is over. I’m reading through the books right now and the character and location histories are invaluable and just heighten the books.

### 5/5 — I luv it

*2020-02-02, version 2.97*

Great app. It’s perfect.

### 4/5 — Really helpful but a couple issues

*2019-10-24, version 2.97*

In dark mode, some of the names are not legible because of the color used when your screen’s brightness is turned down. Like, blue on black is hard to read. I sometimes use light mode and just use Smart Invert so that I can read the names in the transcripts. Please use light colors like light blue in dark mode. Also, in Settings, when dark mode is enabled, the setting “Snow/Dust/Clouds” becomes black text on a black background and thus you can’t see it.

Lastly, the transition animations on the map are too fast and zoom in too far. I can’t tell what’s happening when it moves from area to area.

Ok one more thing. Some of the icons spoil the future appearance of the characters. Like in the recaps of Season 1, the icons of Bran show him as a much older guy. This should be fixed.

Update: please add name pronunciation audio or text (Catelyn = CAT-lynn) to the Biography pages!

### 5/5 — Fantastic map for GoT fans

*2019-09-21, version 2.97*

I’ve never written a review before and most likely never will again. However this app is so wonderfully done with such great care - that it demands to have its praises sung. I’d pay a monthly subscription fee to have access to it if need be. It’s an inspired piece of work and the ideal tribute/companion to the original drawn maps themselves.

### 1/5 — Menus are broken

*2019-04-20, version 2.91*

Can't navigate back after tapping anything because buttons are covered by notch area on iPhone X. UI needs to be fixed

### 2/5 — Missing season 8...please update sooner!!!

*2019-04-18, version 2.90*

There is a new tab for season 8 but a pop up comes up that is cut off basically saying “come back 1-2 days after the episode airs to see timeline”

Well episode S8E1 aired on 4/14 and it’s now 4/18 with still no update....

**Developer response:** Sorry about this but it's out of our hands :(
I submitted the build on Monday, it stayed in Waiting for Review for 2 days and we got rejected for "misleading people about the app" - meaning they didn't like that it has "Game of Thrones" in the name (copyright stuff I think). This is really weird, because we did get approved with this title for the previous version.
I corrected the name and resubmitted and it's been in Waiting for Review ever since.

Apple review process is the worst.

### 5/5 — Ah yes I well done.

*2019-04-13, version 2.90*

The only thing missing is under the soldier at Braavos. Few will get this but I hung out down there and studied them.  😉

### 4/5 — Great app

*2019-04-01, version 2.90*

I had this or a similar one when it first came out. It warned you of spoilers and you couldn’t see anything until you clicked on a new chapter. LOVE the character list, but a description of a character I haven’t seen yet can be a spoiler itself. Am I missing this or is it not available? Otherwise, thank you for this awesome guide!

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2019-03-23, version 2.81*

Love it!!!
