### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-07-16, version 4.8.6*

But

### 2/5 — Adds

*2026-06-17, version 4.8.5*

How many ads pop-up when you’re trying to write this down?

### 1/5 — No magic or honour in GenAI 🤮 ZERO Stars for this buffoonery 🙄

*2026-06-15, version 4.8.5*

Dev just added GenAI. Uninstalling and letting people know the app is ruined. There is no acceptable use for GenAI; remove it immediately 🤬

### 1/5 — Fake formulas

*2026-06-12, version 4.8.4*

Rune formulas for health are made up and hold no historic value. I stopped there and proceeded no further after realizing this app is making things up.

### 5/5 — This is the best!

*2026-06-11, version 4.8.4*

This is the best app I’ve ever used for learning something new!

### 4/5 — Excellent, comprehensive Rune app but with some flaws

*2026-05-27, version 4.8.4*

Easy to study and includes great sections like formulas and divination, as well additional educational resources. However, the pronunciation feature is bad. That’s not the way you pronounce the runes, so look for that in YouTube. Also, some meanings are a little limited.

### 5/5 — My review!!

*2026-05-25, version 4.8.4*

After seeing really bad reviews on this app, I was hesitant to get it at first but I decided to try it out. I’m going to be honest, I love this app! It’s really fun to use and helps me learn and make different runes, bindrunes and more! You also get to start your own rune journey! I just think this app is really cool and useful!

### 5/5 — Thorough

*2026-05-18, version 4.8.4*

This app has been instrumental in my journey with the Runes. It’s a wonderful framework for study and exploration

### 5/5 — О приложении

*2026-04-20*

Блин это очень-очень-очень классное приложение давно хотела изучать Руны! 
Всем советую:)

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-04-08, version 4.8.3*

Try it out, you won’t be disappointed - it has tonnes of features and knowledge. I’d prefer a “pay outright and own forever” option but the pay monthly/yearly is really reasonable for what you get over the period.
