The Runes: A Deeper Journey

Exactly what I was looking for and worth the $1.99! Simple app that helps you learn the runes and do readings. I’m a professional Tarot reader with over 8 years of experience. I download lots of deck apps to try them out before buying the hard copy versions. I did the same thing with this rune app. I wanted to see if I could read and connect with them, and It works great! Here’s a good example of its accuracy: in my Tarot readings, I’ve been asking about my side business, and I keep getting the Lovers card which I feel represents a divinely guided partnership that’s coming up in my business. So... I cast runes in this app, and the rune that comes up is Gifu. One of the meanings of Gifu is a gift that creates relationships. It looks like an “X,” so I’ve also heard it described as two 90-degree angles “kissing,” and a relationship or equal partnership energy! What a beautiful validation! Thanks to the app creators! This is a simple program that works exactly as expected!

It’s hard without being a rune scholar to assess the quality of a given interpretation of how runes should work. For decades I used Ralph blum’s book and tiles. Then I find out there was no blank rune. Wait Wut?! Then I used another app that ONLY ever showed reversed if you enabled them. then I tried another which was way too simplistic. Then I got this one and although the brief rune meanings are overly shallow and uninteresting (to me) the full text is insightful and reaches much deeper. The singing annoyed me at first so I was glad to turn it off. But then when I went to my other device where it was defaulted to on, i found it helps center me by blocking out other life noise, so I’m going with it again for now. 4 stars only because I have to wonder how scholarly the content is in light of the various types Celtic Germanic etc. surely someone can put it all together in a way that is at least consistent with academic study and history.

I’ve been using this app for several years and am really impressed with how it works. I usually use a single rune pull to help me clarify my thinking on various decisions, and it hasn’t steered me wrong yet. The simplicity of use and interpretations are particularly good compared to everything else I’ve looked at on the web.

This app is fantastic! Taurings history lessons, translations and music are amazing. I haven't even used all the features yet and it's already well worth it!!

For the solitary or community practitioner....learn to play with the Runes. Beautiful woman entones for you and you can happily sing along interesting reminders and interpretations enjoy!

Kari tauring is an amazing teacher, artist, and person in general. I have reluctantly upgraded to an iPhone but I am so glad I did and am finally able to see this app. It is fantastic. She speaks out each rune and sings them. Really calls to my core being. I am grateful for all she does including this app she has created. Kari is an inspiration and this app will certainly be of help in my studies and knowing of each rune. Thank you kari.

I'd like to think my fates are this kind, but every time I start the app and cast a single rune it comes back the same: Wunjo upright. The second reading is always Nied. Always.

The singing is beautiful and her pronunciation of old Norse seems authentic and is educational. The interpretations are rambling,unfocused and don't conform to traditional understanding. "Sun Goddess"? Give me a break.Go burn your bra elsewhere. Wish I could get my money back.

Amazing app! For someone without a physical set of Runes, it's wonderful. Once my first set finds me, this app will still be a great companion. Request: please update so that the saved readings show the Runes in the order pulled instead of their order in the Rune list. Thanks!

I have several apps of runes and none compare to this one. It's accurate, has friendly interface, is beautiful to look at, you can opt for inverted runes, music or no music (depending of the environment you're at)... All in all it's just the best.
