This app offers nothing to pull you in. You have to buy pro to get anything and your not even sure what it’ll give you. When I downloaded this app all I could do was raise and lower sea level if you want me to buy this garbage at least let me raise and lower the land as well


Kind of good

I tried it out and it did make a map quickly like it said. I just wish you could add more details and didn’t have to pay for other map styles. The terrain feature does nothing. Is it supposed to do something? It doesn’t change the map but do i need pro version for that? I will use it for a first rough draft of a map in future campaigns I run. I just wish you could add village locations and draw some terrain. It still works as a starting point though.


Better Than Most

This app does better than most of the other map makers out there but leaves a tiny bit to be desired.


It does what it says!

Perhaps the description to the app should clarify that the application generates the height map and then lets you mess with the different ways of viewing it (adjusting the “sea level” to show more or less land) and not much else. Still, the quality of generation did inspire a lot of ideas for me and helped me quickly sketch some islands and geographical areas. Would easily be 5/5 if it had more toggles and features affecting the output (scale of difference, rivers, lakes, lesser scale, etc.) 6/5 if it generated any town or wilderness POIs and gave users some control over it. As is, great for inspiration!


I enjoy this app!

This is very basic but still really helpful when you need to come up with something quickly! You can always flesh things out in more detail when you have the time...


Just a hub for micro transactions

Just shows purchasable content and other apps while not having any useful world building tools at all. 5/100


DON’T BOTHER

This garbage app is literally a random patch of green and blue. The only thing you can do is reload for a new randomly generated map and move the sea level up or down. Don’t waste your time.


Future updates?

I got this hoping to build a cool middle earth style of map and it was easy to creat the map but their is no way to actually build your own map. You could only raise and lower the sea level and change the map style. I went back to the AppStore to see if I was doing some Thing wrong but it looks like I wasn’t doing anything wrong and that’s just how it is. Which it’s not bad but I can’t creat my own world then. I also looked to see when it was last updated and it showed over a year ago. I’m just wondering if you are still updating the app and if creating and adding your own islands will ever be a thing?


Crap
TwomeyLord

Has it for not even 5 minutes before trashing it. This isn’t even a map maker. No wonder Tolkien drew his own.


Works well for a random map generator.

This app isn’t perfect. But if you need a random map when creating a world it does the job. Very helpful. Wish they had a little bit more customization available. Then I would give it 5 stars.
