Leave a Review The Pattern
Love / Hate Relationship 💸
What’s crazy is, I actually do really love the app. It can insightful and it doesn’t give you a bunch of astrology jargon like some of the other apps costar. It definitely reads you, for flith 😅then there's the confusion and it leaves you curious enough to either obsess over "what this truly means" or buy the subscription. Cool. However, the fact that the app cost as much as it does, and has the nerve to not even allow family sharing in the 2023 economy is insane. We’re all struggling and seemingly on the self-discovery journey, let's not make it any more difficult on one another. IMO, most of users are essentially on apple family with THEIR ACTUAL FAMILY. Meaning, it's generally a working parent, stay at home parent & some kids. Right? Add up the cost of this app for a family of 4, on one income (or even 2, let's be frank) and it is a little absurd. this app should at least include family sharing in the subscription! that would literally take my review from my current rating to 5 stars, suggest to others and subscribe again. Bc while there's other small nuances about features on the app, THAT takes the cake 🥴The other things, I could live with.Show less@tinkthaQueen
Negative and money focused
I used to love the app years ago. It seemed authentic and genuine and there were no huge paywalls restricting content.
Now, patterns have become numerous with more and more popping up all the time. They’re incredibly negatively worded, but to read deeper you have to pay an extortionate subscription fee. When you look up the transit other apps and websites do not match with the tone of the prediction…There is a lot of talk of security break downs, break ups, struggles etc. All frightening but not really accurate. If you check your friends patterns against your own, the accuracy and relatability of this app has gone. Now it’s just giving doom in the hopes of getting your money.
The ethics of adding a dating element to an app that constantly tries to feed you relationships fears is concerning too. It was great in 2019 when the app was easier to use, far less negative and not hidden behind a huge subscription. In my humble opinion, it’s lost it’s usefulness and fallen into a ‘pattern’ of its own - feeding the anxiety of its users to get them to subscribe to all of the features it is trying to pull them in with.Show lessGemMamaHen
The Pattern is now Capitalised
I love this app with all my heart. I’ve been on it for over 4 years. Now though, in order to properly read anything, I have to pay $40+ for a membership. For what used to be free! I keep the app for notifications now. When I open it up to find more information, i’m usually a disappointing add. Vague paragraphs is not what this app used to be. Now, for those without money to throw around, this app is only for notifications and singular paragraphs.Show lessEzra Umi
This *IS* *AMAZING!* Where has this app been my whole life?!
I cannot believe this app doesn’t have a 5 star rating yet! I’ve downloaded every astrology app currently available on the market, and I’ve read different astrology books, and even done alternate birth charts previously too… BUT NOTHING COMPARES TO THE DATA PROVIDED THROUGH THIS PLATFORM! It was insane how spot on accurate the information provided was in my real life feelings, emotions, views, beliefs, EVERYTHING truly. I decided to do a bond for my husband and I and that’s where it got EVEN BETTER! It was as if the knowledge had been gleaned from the pages of my diary. It was almost magical to see the stars say about my romance what I already believed to be true! I highly recommend this platform if you want to hear about yourself in ways you may or may not already know, and delve into the who what and why of your story.
Some reviewers may have issues with the app itself although I haven’t personally experienced any glitches. My recommendation is based solely on the pertinent details you can discover on you and/or others.Show lessLizabunny69

Hello, We are blown away by how lovely this review is! We really appreciate you being a part of The Pattern community and hope you continue to have a positive experience using our app. New and exciting things are coming soon so stay tuned!One of the best astrology apps
I think this is one of the best astrology apps out there. It’s still not perfect but it definitely seems to be the most accurate, as it uses your whole chart for compatibility and forecasting. One thing I really miss though, is that it doesn’t tell you what aspect it’s basing the reading off of. For me I love learning more about aspects and planets and it would only take a little adjustment for us to be able to learn more as we read.Show lessArtsmokesanddietcokes

Hello- Thank you for this awesome review! We are continuously introducing new features and improving existing ones. Your feedback will only help us improve further. Thanks so much! We appreciate you being part of The Pattern community.App is good but
I really like this app, I think it’s very spot on most of the time and sometimes I get creeped out by how accurate the notifications I get can be lol. However, i’ve noticed the app keeps sending me the same recycled notifications constantly for some reason. For example, I get a notification saying: “it’s important for you to be viscerally and physically attracted to someone you’re in a serious relationship with” constantly. I get it like twice a month, and the same thing has happened with other notifications where it just feels like i’m being sent the same recycled messages and nothing new. Also, the app glitches with some of the custom profiles i’ve made and it will change the persons birthday for no reason. I’ll put the 20th and it always changes to 19 no matter how many times I refresh or try again. It has great potential to be such an amazing app but it just feels pretty meh right now.
I still recommend the app to anyone that wants to get into astrology and getting to know themselves a little bit more, I still don’t know if it’s worth buying premium but definitely worth giving the app a chance.Show lesss 🤍
No respect for long time users
The app had a good base and WAS amazing to use as an original user when they first started. However, as the years went by, they started putting content behind a pay wall. And not just a tiny paywall. A MASSIVE, greedy paywall ($90+ a year) to view a very SMALL amount of mediocre content.
To be clear, they didn’t come up with any NEW content at all (although I’m sure some random customer rep is gonna reply to me and tell me about all the exciting useless new content they made like “audio logs” and world updates, which literally nobody cares about). They just took stuff that was already free for their users and instead locked it up and forced them to pay to see it again. It just shows laziness as an app developer to not have something “new” to incentivize people to pay for, but instead screw over your original user base by restricting their access to things they already had access to, while expecting them to shell out hundreds of dollars for it.
The information was fun and exciting but you really don’t get as much as you use to anymore, and it is because of this that I find myself using different apps now. At least with other apps and websites, I can literally just get this content for free without spending hundreds of dollars toward a greedy company.Show lessfox4evr
Great app in some ways but…
I really like the daily updates and all the astrological aspects it gives. And the possibility for connection with others. And it looks very good.
But at the same time I’m tempted to delete it purely because it interrupts talks or music it gives after 1 minute to get you to pay to subscribe. People want to keep using free apps just as rightfully as it’s fair for the app designers to ask for money for extra features. But it’s not a cool practice to surprise someone with an interruption and say pay to hear more. Just show people the talk is there and locked before they start it and they can preview it with transparency and show what you can listen to for free. I have many many apps and a bad memory so I’ve been surprised by this more than once before showing this feedback here. Let’s see if this gets fixed…… good luck and thanks for a lovely appShow lessStevePaulSounds
Confused and frustrated
I found this app about a year ago. It was brilliant. Now I can barely see it. I can no longer find my bio to edit it. It no longer shows on the front like it did. For people with eyesight issues. The color blue is very hard to read. Either allow use to have a black background with white writing or a white background with a color of our choice or the blue. You keep changing things and I don’t understand why you are charging for those on our friends list. Um I mean to have more people then the minimum I understand that. Cos that what it was when I started. But can we make it eye friendly and please for the love of the lord and lady where is my bio? Oh and please do not turn this into a dating app. I do not want to be hit on all the time. I want to meet like minded only. Not date anyone. That could have been something totally different on a sister app or something. I refuse to become friends with all these men who send request to me. I want it for my friends and people who are like minded and I’ve met and we talk about the app. Cos I’m not paying for a dating app when it’s not my cup of tea. I like my solidarity. Sorry. But I just don’t believe in dating apps nor do I want to be apart of one. I use this to help navigate with my friends. Thank you for reading.Show lessVirginia66az

Hello. With the new design update, we removed the Bio. So there is no longer a bio to edit. We appreciate your feedback about the design updates and we've taken note. You do not have to use Connect dating if you use The Pattern. If you never created a profile in Connect then you can just use The Pattern side and not worry about Connect at all. We hope this information is helpful. Thanks for being a part of our community!Good but expensive
Apps great but now it charges you for everything, don’t really see the point in sharing all this knowledge with people if you have to pay for it. I listened to this podcast where the owner said she wanted to make it accessible for people that aren’t normally into astrology, the ‘go deeper’ function is a subscription feature and that contradicts making this accessible for those who are still learning. If you’re not 100% sure about astrology, it doesn’t encourage you when you have to pay like £19 for 3 months. Free knowledge is power xShow lessKLPadz
