The Lord of the Rings Project

This has helped so much rereading all the books! I decided to use my ereader to read them and found skipping back and forth to look at the maps very frustrating and now I don't have that problem, and also get to learn more of the genealogy. Fascinating stuff, thank you very much :)

This is the best LOTR info app on the app store. Minimal bugs (I've only crashed once) and it was fixed by closing the app and reopening it. If one could give 100 stars I would.

I love this app. It's very useful and provides an interactive reference while reading through the books. I was wondering if you could implement offline views for the maps?

My grandfather's name is Emil Johnson! What would be even stranger is if you were a chemist because I am a chemist and I love the Lord of the Rings! Are you Swedish ?

I am very unimpressed with this app. It is all for asthaetic. At some point one must face the fact that it offers a horribly dry and underdeveloped form of the legendarium. The quotes menu stops short of many of the best quotes of Tolkien. The maps are interesting, but show nothing more than what has already been shown in the books themselves. The statistics are interesting but irrelevant. I'll admit the statistics do actually provide some new and interesting information that can help exegete the story. My least favorite part of the entire app is the character bio section. They provide maybe a half paragraph of information about any given character. Important characters, like Melkor himself!, have nothing written in their bio which leads to my final and most condemning criticism. It is a largely unfinished app. Much of the info in the Tolkien legendarium is completely left out, and if included, is only touched on minorly. There are free sources that are worlds better than this source. Try the Encyclopedia of Arda for a wonderful, extensive, and FREE source. This app would be nice and cute to have, but that is the extent of its benefit. It is certainly not worth any sort of money. I highly recommend the Encyclopedia of Arda again. It is canonical and extensive.

It won't load map content even though I am contacted to the internet. Have tried multiple times. If this gets fixed I would gladly rate 5 stars.

Great app, great idea, would like to see the update in the future, so it could be even better.

Not one single update in over three years...wow...really? I would like a refund.

Great app, but could do with more offline support and a better map UI.

Front quote has never changed in all the time I've had it installed...?

This is my favorite companion for reading any of Tolkien. Well Done!

When are you going to update this?

Good but needs to be updated.

It is a very good app. With more info in one place than anywhere else I know, along with a wonderful interactive map of beleriand and middle earth. But it needs updating and holes filled in. The last update was 2 years ago, so bio's that are being "worked on" I have no confidence actually are. I paid for this app, so I would like to see them finishing the app, and the map had some bugs too. For example, the bio for Morgoth has no info. The map doesn't always zoom properly.

When zoomed out on the map it shows multiple of the same map. Almost like a tiled version of it. Not sure if it's a bug. Also, would love to see widget support as well!!! Please update!!

This app is beyond killer. I love it. Best Tolkien app by far. Interactive, high res maps, events, timelines, character paths, Beleriand, Genealogies, it's very nearly perfect. Thanks Emil!

It's a great app, but there's a problem. The links under news are not clickable.

Way too long without an update. Will change to 5 stars when fixed.

When are you going to update this?

The app is very informative to every character. The maps are very accurate and are easy to read. I would suggest this app for all Tolkien fans, from die hards to simple lotr fans. Also may I suggest adding characters from the Dagor Dagorath? I know it was never fully explained or officially released but it would make this a more complete project. One of the main ones that should be added would be Gilthrang the Traitor. Again though this is an excellent app.

I am aware it is a work in progress but you need to make the maps not so weird just make something like it and not have 50 of them and you need to add frodowaith haradrim. Also you need to get a lot of the important characters done first before lower people I've noticed some people of great importance are not in it yet but some lower characters are in it but overall good job

This is an incredible app. It has everything a Tolkien fan needs, except his own ring. The app contains a map of Middle Earth and Beleriand, news, Family Trees, Timelines, Statistics, Quotes and so much more. Please continue to update and develop this app! I would also like to mention that this app has an excellent development team, who are always open to suggestions and criticism's. I thank them for this great app!

The concept an information already in the app is great, but it has not been updated since last year. Disappointed. :(

Great encyclopedia containing much more extracred from other works of Tolkien

I'd say this is a must app for any Tolkien fans! :D

Just got it and am loving it so far. Would love to see some Sillmarillion stuff like a full map but otherwise great

This is the only app that is complete up to the smaller detail. I especially like it when I type and search a location in a map & it will immediately go to that place .. I didn't have to spend a lot of time looking for a certain place. Love the quotes. Great work! And here's hoping for more updates on this app.

Awesome app

Perfect for any Tolkien enthusiasts covers lots characters and plenty of Tolkiens great quotes. Unfortunately like most middle-eartg encyclopedias there is so much information there are a few mistakes- like Glorfindel listed as dying in the First Age when he (like Gandalf) comes back to life after slaying a Balrog and is the Fellowship of the Ring

I love the maps; but several statistic graphs such as longevity and life span show no bars. A graph with no data is as useful as a dwarf with no beard.

Cannot thank the Dev enough. Since I'm rereading the Silmarillion this app has helped make sense of all the information inside. Such a great companion to have while reading. Thank you!

For the hobbiton capital Delwing should be Delving. Just thought I'd let you know as you want to seek an authentic database and I.share your passion for this amazing piece of literature and its universe. Keep up the great work.

Great for Tolkien fans

Fantastic!!.

My favorite app

Seems to be living: new features are being added, including a sorely missed map of Beleriand... all I want now is searchable maps so I can find those obscure placed in the lost tales... oh, look at that: I can search the maps: excellent!
