### 5/5 — Gratitude

*2024-02-04*

Thank you so much for making this.
Truly no spoilers and super helpful.

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2023-09-06, version 3.0.6*

This app is amazing, my boyfriend is reading WOT for the first time and I’m reading with him, but I finished the series when AMOL came out, so I need a refresher too!! His biggest complaint is the characters are confusing but he doesn’t want to read the Companion and spoil the story and I can’t always remember who is who off the top of my head, so this is perfect!! I’ve been looking through it and I can’t want to show it to him tomorrow!!

### 5/5 — THANK YOU!

*2023-01-06, version 3.0.6*

This this 100 times this! I love the wheel of time series, but it is so hard to keep track of all of the characters.  I don’t want to do Internet searches for fear of spoilers for future books. It’s like this app was reading my mind exactly what I needed. I can’t thank the developer enough.

### 5/5 — Wonderful curation

*2022-12-14*

Great app for all fans of the WOT series. Being spoiler free is the best part about the app. 

An area of improvement is that the latest version doesn’t remember the book that is being read - need to re-enter it every time the app is freshly opened.

### 5/5 — Must-have!

*2022-10-26, version 3.0.6*

Amazing. So useful.

### 5/5 — Must have for the series

*2022-10-19, version 3.0.6*

Simple, well made app. Perfect for reading this arduous series with thousands of characters. 
New update fixes what little UI issues it had. 

Thank you

### 5/5 — SO helpful!

*2022-06-20, version 2.5.0*

I’ve been listening to the books on audio, and this app has made the difference between me enjoying the series or just giving up. Without having the physical copy of the book for reference, the names had become so jumbled in my head. I am on book 11 and have been using this a LOT to help keep things straight. 

Before this app, I’d been searching the internet for character lists, but stumbled upon spoilers, which is never fun. This is spoiler free!

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2022-06-06, version 2.5.0*

When reaching the later books I encountered characters and couldn’t remember everything about them so I looked on the internet and inadvertently read some big spoilers. This app solves this problem, you enter the book you are reading and never get any info you shouldn’t have. Great app, thanks!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2022-04-24, version 2.5.0*

Have been listening to the series through audiobooks and so haven’t had access to the glossaries from each book- this is an absolute life saver to remember who’s who without searching  online and seeing spoilers!

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2021-12-24, version 2.5.0*

You, are good people!

### 5/5 — A must have for those reading Wheel of Time

*2021-12-02, version 2.5.0*

This app has been really helpful when I need to know who this or that character is, without spoilers. 

Many thanks to the creators!!!!!

### 5/5 — The Perfect Companion to the Series

*2021-11-20, version 2.5.0*

For years, I have said that more books need to have a companion work like this one. Especially for the Wheel of Time series with its huge number of characters, such a companion app that only gives you information up to where you've read is key. And this one does it admirably. It's easy to use, complete, and well appreciated.

### 5/5 — A great app for all readers

*2021-05-06, version 2.4.2*

I love the Wheel of Time but anyone who reads it know there are WAY too many characters to remember. This app is so helpful anytime i forget a persons name, it gives a brief description of who they are up until that point in the book. It even lists the books so you don’t get any spoilers for the future. Very helpful :)

### 5/5 — so helpful

*2021-02-28, version 2.4.2*

a surprisingly simple implementation of a complex concept... was so helpful as I was finishing the series, I came back to it so many times to help remind myself of different characters in this impossibly complicated world and it was so useful for concise answers without spoilers (unlike simply googling, which produced spoilers basically every time and usually led me down a rabbithole 😀). wonderful job, thank you so much for the hard work!

### 5/5 — Yes

*2020-09-27, version 2.3.0*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Really good

*2020-08-28, version 2.3.0*

It’s extremely helpful, this series has more characters than you can actually physically remember

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t see the option to select a chapter…

*2024-09-28, version 3.0.6*

…first character I selected contained a spoiler.

### 1/5 — The app contains spoilers!!

*2019-09-10, version 2.1.4*

The entries to Moraine in Book 1 and Ba’Alzamon in Book 2 contains spoilers!!! I was so disappointed!!

### 1/5 — Spoiler alert

*2019-08-22, version 2.1.4*

It actually is full of spoilers despite the claim. When it gives info in a chapter, always mentions what happens later as well. Ruined a big and couple of small twists for me. Thanks for trolling.

### 2/5 — No more search by chapter?

*2022-12-24*

I loved this app some months ago before the upgrade, but now apparently the search by chapters is gone. It’s very disappointing as I believe it was one of the best tools.

### 3/5 — A good start, but I was expecting a bit more

*2021-06-25, version 2.5.0*

I don’t want to come down too harshly on a free app that a fan made as a reading aid. That said however, I do not see how to choose chapters like is said in the description. I can choose a book and character, and it gives a description of that character, and lists the first chapter they appear in in that book.
  Also, I was hoping for just a bit more detail about when the chosen character has previously appeared. Of the few I tested, I saw very little about what they actually did up to that point.

### 4/5 — Awesome. Thank you.

*2021-08-30, version 2.5.0*

I just began reading the series and this app has already made things so much easier. Thank you. 

Although I would’ve liked if it had an option to view characters in the order they appeared in the book.

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-06-05, version 3.0.9*

Must have for any and all.

### 5/5 — Thank you!!!

*2026-02-18, version 3.0.9*

This app is SO helpful! I just started reading WoT, and, as many others have already said, the amount of info and characters is huge! I’m an avid LOTR lore buff, and even I was baffled by the depth of Robert Jordan’s writing! This app is a spoiler-free way to keep it all straight! A simple design, plus thousands of names and summaries, makes this compendium a must-have for WoT readers! Huge help! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great utility

*2026-01-30, version 3.0.9*

Love using this even during rereads.

### 5/5 — Search function stinks, still 5 starts

*2025-04-29, version 3.0.9*

Like many people have mentioned if you have been on the WoT journey you know why this app is necessary lol. The search function just simple doesn't work. You can type "Rand" and it just shows a random mix of names. Not sure if it's just me, I read a few other reviews and no one else mentioned it but it's so bad I can't imagine it has gone unnoticed

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Just what I needed

*2025-04-10, version 3.0.9*

Found this after getting spoiled one too many times

### 5/5 — You Miracle Worker

*2025-02-10, version 3.0.9*

I am definitely one who struggles connecting characters with names, especially when they are names that are unique. This app does great work in giving brief, spoiler-free summaries of each character. I wish I found this sooner!

If I could suggest anything for the content creators to consider, I would love to see a name’s pronunciations if possible. Other than that, no notes!

### 5/5 — Almost Necessary for Reading

*2025-01-15, version 3.0.9*

It’s been about 6 months since I read a wheel of time book, stopped halfway through when I ran out of books on my shelf and finally got the last half for Christmas. This app made it possible to start where I left off without having it go to the wiki where spoilers linger

### 5/5 — Very detailed, but some spoilers here and there

*2024-07-29, version 3.0.6*

It still has some major spoilers here and there. I recommend using searching for a name in the book that is one book behind the one you are reading (use book 2 when you are reading book 3). That way no spoilers will occur

### 5/5 — Gratitude

*2024-07-06, version 3.0.6*

Thank you so much for making this. Truly no spoilers and super helpful. Also, thank you for making an app wherein no data is collected.

### 5/5 — Super helpful

*2024-04-22, version 3.0.6*

Wait until you’ve finished your current book before looking up any characters and you’ll avoid the few spoilers that are there.
