Our Expert Score
Ancient Rune Magic in Practice is a beautifully designed, specialized tool for anyone interested in Norse mythology or runic divination. It’s far more than just a 'game'; it's a digital grimoire that provides deep insights into the Elder Futhark. The interface is clean and atmospheric, especially the 'dark mode' which feels appropriate for a mystical study tool. The inclusion of reversed rune positions is a professional-level detail that many similar apps overlook, providing a more nuanced reading.
The app shines as an educational resource. The exclusive interpretations and descriptions are well-written and historically grounded, making it perfect for studying the meanings of runes like Ansuz or Raidho. The ability to save your 'casts' allows for long-term reflection on your divination results. Whether you're a curious beginner or a serious practitioner, this app offers a respectful and high-quality digital implementation of ancient traditions.

Only thing I’d like to see
Mon Aug 26 2019 Highlander Seth the Lions BaneIs if you had the descriptions of the runes on the watch instead of just the symbol itself
Some runes are incorrect
Tue Jun 22 2021 Air 808I wouldn’t recommend this for people who know the runes already but I think it’s a nice entry for newbs. Some of the runes are incorrect here. Namely dagaz and othela. (They have been transposed) Please correct the mistake so that newbs are not misinformed. I’ll probably delete the app because it’s basic. I love that it’s available for new seekers though. I would support an advanced version.
Wrong rune
Sun Nov 15 2020 Spencer EugeneOthala and Dagaz pictures should be switched. For some reason the othala rune is on sagas section
Ok
Wed Oct 23 2019 Psycho7590First off Dagaz and Othala reversed and Anzuz has nothing to do with Loki it Odins rune and Teiwaz doesn’t even mention Tyr which this rune is all about. Good app just needs some updates not worth 6 bucks at the moment.
Nice buuuut
Wed Aug 14 2019 bekah88Othala and Dagaz are switched Othala ᛟ and Dagaz is ᛞ that’s just the one I noticed
App crashes instantly
Wed Mar 27 2019 JlmjamThe app crashes immediately upon opening it.. using iOS 12.1.4 no luck everything seems as tho it should work.
Doesn’t open or operate
Fri Jan 03 2020 justlikebrokenglassThis might be open or work. All it does is crash.
More rune info please.
Sun Aug 15 2010 Yag-koshaBest visuals of rune apps IMO. But study interface could use more info on the meanings of the runes rather than just the names. Please update!
