Overpriced

Content built like a game/duo lingo. Does have some interesting features but pay to play to unlock everything! Not worth the time. Way overpriced to get access to all the features.

Solid

if your new to runes this is absolutely the way to go.
$44 for lifetime purchase is worth it imo. enough information and classes (classes paid separately) to keep you busy for a while. regardless how experienced you are, you'll learn something new.

Response from developer

Thank you so much, this truly means the world to us! We put a lot of love and care into the content and it is so rewarding to hear it is making a difference. Enjoy every step of your rune journey and we are always here if you need anything!

Too expensive

Pretty looking app and seems like all the ingredients are there but I think a weekly subscription should allow you to actually learn runes and unfortunately in this app this is not the case. That information is given in courses which are separate transactions that can cost upward of 50 dollars. I feel like I was misled. 4 dollars for nothing.

Response from developer

Hi! Thank you for the kind words and honest feedback. We are sorry this was not made clearer. Courses are optional extras designed for those who want a more structured learning path. Runes are fully free via the Runes tab or Learn > Runes. Please contact us and we will make it right!

Garbage

Do not trust the 4.8 star review. All the ones giving it 5 stars are bots. Asking for 50$ multiple times to do basically nothing. Whoever made this app put in like 0 effort to ask for a crazy amount of money.

Response from developer

Hi! We are truly sorry this was your experience. We want to be completely transparent that we do not use bots or fake reviews, every rating comes from a real user. We are also sorry the pricing felt overwhelming. Runes are free via the Runes tab or Learn > Runes and all purchases are optional!

Can’t get into the app

Cannot get past the introduction question section. On the question where it asks how you
heard of it, there is no button to continue.

Response from developer

Hi! We are truly sorry this happened, especially so early in the app. This is not something that should occur and we want to get to the bottom of it. Please contact us with your device model and version and we will investigate it right away!

Too pricey

What’s the point of paying $50 for an app and then having to pay another $50-$60 for lessons? That’s $50 I’ve now wasted.

Response from developer

Hi! We are truly sorry for the frustration. We do not actually have a $50 purchase option so we want to look into this for you. Courses are completely optional and never required. Please contact us with your details and we will make sure everything is sorted out for you!

Misleading

Do not purchase this app - it leads you to believe you will learn time divination as well but once you purchase, you find out it’s an additional SIXTY DOLLARS for the divination course. There’s no option for customer support, there is no option to request a refund. Do not purchase this. Do the $3.99 to see if you like the basic stuff they offer and cancel if you don’t.

Response from developer

Hi! We are sorry for the confusion. All courses including divination are optional extras and not included in the base purchase. We are sorry this was not made clearer. Customer support is available, just contact us and we will help with any questions or refund requests!

Bruh

Would appreciate if I wasn’t bombarded with a million questions before I could even see any material. No I haven’t started a single lesson and yes I’ve been prompted to write this

Response from developer

Hi! We are truly sorry this was your first impression, you are absolutely right and that is not how we want to welcome anyone to the app. We hear your feedback on the onboarding and appreciate your honesty. We really hope you will give it another chance and enjoy the journey!

Too expensive

I can’t even see what the app is before I’m forced to spend $4 per week!! to use it. This is ridiculous.

Response from developer

Hi! We completely understand how frustrating it feels to hit a payment screen before even seeing the app. We are truly sorry for that experience. The subscription is optional and can be skipped. Runes are free via the Runes tab or Learn > Runes. We hope you give it another chance!

Lifetime Purchase?

Unable to sign into account even after paying for $44.99 for “lifetime”. App is buggy and not user friendly for troubleshooting this issue.

Too many pop ups

App has updates every couple days and each screen requires going through a pop up trying to get you to upgrade to the paid version.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. We regularly release updates to improve the app and add new content. Some screens may show upgrade prompts, but the app remains free to use, and many features can be explored without upgrading. We appreciate your input and will keep working on improving the experience.

Hidden Fees

Upfront cost + more cost for the actual rune course

Really learning a lot

Despite being hit with 3 different screens for different payment options for the ‘upgraded’ app. I’ve learned a lot about the runes. And I’m just getting started with the moon phases. The app has been pretty informative!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! 🙏 I’m glad the app has been helpful for learning the runes and moon phases. We know the upgrade screens can feel a bit much, and we’re working on improving that flow, really appreciate the feedback!

Amazing App but just one thing…

I really was stoked to find this app. It is amazing. I do wish that there wasn’t a huge pay wall around the learning section on Runes because it’s a little gatekeeper-ish when it should be available to those who are willing, interested and want to learn for sure. I also feel $60 is steep. My biggest issue with the app is that within it, the Birthday rune calculation feature does not work and none of the compatibility tools (love, family and friends) work. The app will just force close out and you have to reopen it. But there’s no accessing those tools which sucks major. Otherwise, it’s a handy tool to have on hand for those looking to expand knowledge and understanding of runes.

The price is misleading

When “buying” the app, there is an option for a monthly rate, or a “one time license” fee. Once you pay this, you get into the app and everything else in the app cost additional money, including anything about the Runes themselves (an additional $59.95, example). Buyer beware.

Horrible?

I can't even get past the part where I enter my name. Unusable app.

App review

I love the app it can make learning fun in its own way. I love how you don’t have to pay

Response from developer

That’s so lovely to hear, thank you! 💛 We’re really glad you’re enjoying the app and finding it fun to learn with. Messages like this truly mean a lot to us! 🙏✨

Frustrated

I trued to use this app. I closed it , restarted it, deleted it , redownloaded it. I cannot scroll to hit continue on the page where it ask how you learned of the app.

Response from developer

Hi! I’m really sorry about that; it shouldn’t be happening. Thank you for letting us know! We’re looking into it now. If you need help, feel free to contact us via email anytime. 🙏

Bad

So bad. Way too much money for what the app does. Better off buying books, way cheaper.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you feel that way! While some features are paid, we also offer free content in the app. Our goal is to provide an interactive experience that books can't. If you have suggestions on how we can improve, feel free to reach out at elvis.baltais.i@gmail.com – we'd love to hear your thoughts! 🙏
