Westeros Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Check this out, folks! The other day, a sharp-eyed fan noticed that Maester’s Path briefly revealed that this coming Monday’s 4th link was symbolized by a hand, which—given the sense-based theme—seemed a sure sign that “touch” would be a theme. And now it looks like they’ve rolled out an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch app to go with it. Here’s a hint of what it’ll provide:Choose a location in this weather-driven storytelling app (or use your built-in GPS locator) and view a scene from Westeros (and beyond) that matches the current weather of that location, whether snow, rain, sun or fog. Users also can select multiple locations and simply swipe between them to see a range of scenes, accompanied by onscreen temperature and time.Suffice it to say, we’re jealous of those who happen to own a compatible Apple device. If you’ve got one, check it out, and report back on what you see when you play with it!For those who might be concerned, this is a bit of entertainment to whet the appetite—it will not be necessary for successfully completing the Maester’s Path 4th link, which Campfire‘s Steve Coulson has promised will be the toughest challenge yet.Visit the Site!

Padraig Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 So its only in the US store, so those of us from outside the US can't download it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 From what I've heard, it's just U.S. only, I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smegma Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Any sight of an Android app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mya Stone Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I downloaded it and played around a bit. It's mainly just a "weather" app, as it tells you your location and the weather is relative to someplace in the Seven Kingdoms. As of right now, my town is what Winterfell would be. It has some pretty nice pictures as backgrounds (that seem to change if you choose your city more than once). I'll try to upload some screen shots. I'm pretty disappointed that there's no videos, or even a countdown to the show (which the app tells you is one at 9PM on Sunday, April 17th).

Brude Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 That's all it is? I tried to install it and it said I couldn't on my slightly older iTouch. I guess it's not advanced enough to tell me the weather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On iTunes, it says it's an iPhone/ iPad app. Don't know if that truly excludes iPod touches, but I guess so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brude Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 It only works with 4th generation iTouches it says.And no Android version, which is lame too. Seriously, in this day and age you need to hit both platforms or you are doing yourself a disservice. (I have an Android phone.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, in this day and age you need to hit both platforms or you are doing yourself a disservice. (I have an Android phone.)That stinks! Android has surpassed Iphones as the most common smartphone OS - that's a huge miss to not put it out on both.At least it's not that great : / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
