Map for Game of Thrones is another must-have for all fans. As the name suggests, the app offers a detailed interactive map of the GoT universe that highlights all major locations in the franchise.

There’s also a section which gives a detailed overview of the books, another one which lists down all the major characters in the franchise, and one that lists information about all the prominent areas in the GoT world.

5. Soundboard for Game of Thrones
While the rest of the apps on this list are informational and would appeal to those of you who want to learn more about the franchise, this last one is a bit different. Soundboard for Game of Thrones is a collection of popular quotes from important characters in the series. And they’re not just written quotes. They’re sound samples from the show which you can play to relive the moment or just use on the daily to annoy your friends. It’s the app to have right now, especially with the GoT fever running high. Imagine what all you can do with it. I think I’m going to use only the quotes in the app to talk to people the day before the final episode airs. I bet it’s going to be annoying and fun at the same time. Download Soundboard for Game of Thrones on Android
Are You Ready for the GoT Finale?
With these apps on your phone, I’m sure the wait won’t be as painful. And as an added benefit, you’ll also get a refresher on all the previous seasons. I know I needed a refresher because I didn’t remember a lot of the characters that had not shown up in the last couple of seasons. [Spoiler] For instance, I had totally forgotten that Gendry was still alive until I saw the first episode recently. Thankfully, I’d read about him just a day earlier, and I instantly recalled his name as soon as I saw his face.
