Just in time for the new season of A Game of Thrones, fans of the book series are getting a new Android app to help readers keep track of the countless characters, places and timelines described within its world.

The free "A World of Ice and Fire" app — which is based on George R. R. Martin's novels of the same name and launched the popular HBO TV show — serves as a companion to help you stay on top of what's happening. It even syncs with where you are in the book series to avoid spoilers.

The Android app is very similar to the the iOS app companion released last fall, but with a few extra features, including 30 new illustrations for key places, the ability to search for characters by alias — you can find Tyrion by searching for "The Imp" — and improvements to map functionality . Those features will hit the iOS app soon with an app update.

Although the app is free to download, it offers details on only the eight major characters from the first book. You can upgrade to companion guides for books two, three, four and five cost $0.99 each or you can purchase complete access for $4.99.

You can download "A World of Ice and Fire" for Android [Google Play link] from Google Play.
