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 — Really good app *2026-01-25, version 4.8.1* Plenty of information and interesting tools (e.g. bind runes designer). Some grammatical errors here and there that can be a bit annoying, so the app could use some professional proofreading but other than that great source of knowledge. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-01-17, version 4.8.1* I love this app it’s a great tool for learning the old ways of the wise ones ### 5/5 — Ответ от практикующего мастера. *2025-12-12* Отличное приложение, рациональные описания к рунам, точные подмечания, иногда пользуюсь как шпаргалка, рунами занимаюсь несколько лет. Особое внимание ставам- они максимально рациональны! На счет рун по дате рождения и именным рунам ничего сказать не могу, но приятно что присутвуют различные описания внутри, приложение сделано на славу хорошими практиками! ### 5/5 — Хорошее приложение *2025-12-08* Благодарю за хорошее приложение 🙏 ### 5/5 — Отлично!!! *2025-12-07* Отличное предложение! Минусов нет. ### 5/5 — Why can't I purchase the sub? *2025-12-02, version 4.8* I love this app! It's wonderful! ### 5/5 — Personal Experience *2025-11-25, version 4.8* The information shown on this app has been one of the most accurate descriptions of how the runes assist everyday life and how if used properly can help upon the journey of either rediscovering or returning to your original culture. My personal journey has been greatly improved through the reasoning of how I learned to accept the true power of the word. Thank you for creating a great app to bring our culture into the new world of technology; many blessings and happiness to you and your family. ### 3/5 — Not Terrible, or even BAD, really—but Needs a Bit More Work *2025-11-16, version 4.8* This app (like so many Norse spiritualists, and I’ll never be able to understand why) only champions the Elder Futhark, which is not the only Futhark that’s pertinent to Norse Paganism; and it’s especially not contemporarily pertinent to the Viking Age in Scandinavia. This doesn’t bode satisfactorily for those who may wish to use the Bindrunes Designer feature to craft a bind of, exclusively, contemporarily Viking Age runes; because you would need to use the YOUNGER Futhark to do so, not the Elder (use of the Elder Futhark writing system predates the Viking Age, where they transitioned over to the more simplified Younger.) While I’m on the topic of the Bindrunes Designer, the fonts for the Runes that you can populate your graph canvas for needs to be changed. There should be absolutely no curved lines or semi-circles in any of them. All Runes were carved, painted, or etched in nothing but STRAIGHT lines — because the writing method itself almost always relied on a canvas of wood or stone contemporarily. There was no paper or parchment for the Vikings and/or Vendels, so their writing was nigh-always comprised of characters that were written with straight and easy to carve/etch lines. There’s no reason that Raidho should look exactly like the letter “R,” or for Wunjo to look exactly like the letter “P” as you would type or write them out in a modern setting. I’m sure I’ll find other points of criticism, but I don’t mean any of this to be malicious or contrarian. I’m hoping this is all taken with the constructiveness I intended. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-11-01, version 4.8* I love this app! It's exactly the study guide that I need. ### 5/5 — Позвольте, прошу, менять язык в приложении *2025-10-27* Пожалуйста, сделайте так, чтобы в приложении были языковые настройки. ### 4/5 — I love this app *2025-10-12, version 4.7* Good app but translate it to spanish please 🙏 ### 5/5 — Perfect *2025-09-26, version 4.7* Everything I needed ;) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Такое се половина залочена *2026-01-31, version 4.8.1* Много рекламы минус в карму ### 1/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen *2026-01-07, version 4.8.1* Leider kommt sobald man auf irgendetwas klickt Werbung. 2 Minuten benutzt, 4 Werbungen angesehen. Also wieder runter damit. ### 1/5 — Как? *2025-11-13* Как его удалить? ### 1/5 — Die App ist so lala *2025-09-17, version 4.7* Die App hat mein Exfreund Gaga gemacht, deswegen wir jetzt getrennt sind danke 5 Jahre bz umsonst ### 1/5 — Obstacles *2025-07-02, version 4.6.4* The app didn’t even let me get to the purpose. When it asked how I found the app it didn’t let me scroll down to continue ### 1/5 — Can barely use app now *2024-12-13, version 4.6* Used to love this app but now every 3 seconds I get an ad I have to sit through so quite honestly I don’t see the app worth having anymore. Used to be such a good resource on the go. Now it’s just one big commercial. What a shame truly. ### 1/5 — Cannot recommend *2024-04-26, version 4.3* Seems nothing more than a small amount of static information to support the delivery of advertisement videos that take over the entire screen. ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-01-09, version 4.0* Can’t find how i can change language ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-07-16, version 4.8.6* But ### 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! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Best Option I’ve Found So Far *2026-04-01, version 4.8.3* Exactly like the title says. If you want more information on runes and such, look no further. ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение *2026-02-24* Спасибо! ### 5/5 — It’s far exceeded my expectations! *2026-02-19, version 4.8.1* I downloaded this app thinking it would be a basic rune “generator”, essentially and I’m absolutely blown away by the wisdom and knowledge I’ve gained from such a sm time using it. It’s one of the best apps I’ve downloaded in years! I can’t wait to keep exploring! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-01-28, version 4.8.1* Love it, very nice and unique! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
