Used to really love this app
Now they just keep changing it to LOOK all flash. It’s super hard to find what you’re looking for now. And it’s full of irrelevant things I don’t want or need. And all the stuff I do want to look at seems more shut down now to entice you to pay the ridiculous prices for the app. And it seems with multiple areas and things to pay for it’s not even a monthly rate that covers everything. It’s just silly. Everyone gets so greedy and ruins good things. I don’t want audio readings. I don’t wan’t soundscapes. I just want an easy list of daily update info and all the regular timings and bonds. Please go back to how easy to read you used to be.Show less*Lahlia*
Doesn’t work anymore due to the new update
This new update made the app extremely difficult to use. The home tab is completely disabled. If I am lucky enough to see any content on the home tab after restarting the app like a hundred times, I can finally click into a section to see a blank content page one more time. I don’t know know why you need to mess up with a well-working app just to add some not so necessary or cool features but please give priority to enable fast working features for the main sections of the app. It is incredibly slow now and crashes like every other second. The audio section works well though so if the aim was to draw attention into that section, well done. Otherwise, please return the originals back.Show lessMelody292

This is the first astrology app I ever downloaded. I think I have been using it since it first came out in 2017. I really enjoyed using the bond feature and I think that is one of the things that makes this app really stand out from other astrology apps. I also love the “time travel” feature but I see that now it is under a paywall! I understand the creators need to make a living so this review probably won’t make a difference but I miss the way the app used to be. The new UI is a bit busy as well; I like that the aspects have been added for personality traits and timing but the moon guide and immersive audio clutter up the home screen. I think that the blue misty background for the text boxes is pretty but makes everyone’s profile feel the same, it makes the stock image profile pictures that complement someone’s pattern (ocean for water dominant etc) have less impact. Right now when I open the app it just feels like a lot going on (I don’t blame the designer because there are A LOT of features) but it feels torn between the original design of the app and the update.Show lesspuglover975
Used to love this app
The Pattern was such an amazing app when it first came out and I used it almost religiously during the early years of my spiritual journey. I also got almost every one of my friends to download it to enjoy it for themselves. However, the subscription-based paywall has unfortunately ruined the experience as a lot of the features must now be paid for even though there aren’t any particularly new updates. Monetising the app made sense however it should have been a one off payment and not a recurring subscription. What’s laughable is that the first major update to have very generic audio files is now asking for a further £10 a quarter!
There are much more precise astrology apps available for less on the App Store - don’t bother with the Pattern anymore it’s become far too greedyShow lessTasha_Dee
Should be a one-off payment - not a subscription
I used to absolutely love this app, used it all the time and recommended it to lots of friends. Now however most useful features are hidden behind a paywall.
While I get that they should be able to monetise the content, I don’t get why it’s subscription based - £60 a year to get the premium version of the app plus it looks like you still then have to pay for extra profiles, bonds etc.
Why is this a subscription based model and not a one off payment? I am so bored of everyone jumping on the subscription based model bandwagon now… in some cases it’s warranted but not an astrology app?! I have other much better, more professional astrology apps that I have paid much less for (one off payment) and with that I can create limitless charts and content.
They are not changing or adding much so why a yearly charge?! Plus as others have pointed out a lot of the readings are too generalised / just sun sign based. Definitely not warranting £60 each year.
It’s a shame as I like the general premis of the app and if it had a reasonable one off payment (or a much cheaper subscription) then I would probably buy it but as it is it’s become pretty unuseable now.
Shame. As it started off as a great little app before they got so greedy.Show lessevie_77
I love the updated version
Its design pretty than before. I am very appreciate that finally I can select and copy the text on the new version. I can copy the text to my translator app is important for me because my English is not good enough to understand all the words. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻繪夢製作人
Wow! So accurate it’s almost scary!
I happened to download this app by chance, but wow! It is so accurate it is absolutely mind boggling! It’s usually hard for me to find horoscopes and sites on astrology that actually hit home, since I typically don’t relate very well to my sign very often. This app, though, has hit the nail on the head! There have even been times that it has notified me right as something is happening to me and the notification will be literally explaining or talking about the event at hand. The timing and accuracy has happened multiple times since I’ve downloaded this app. Some of the relationship patterns for friends in my life seem a little off. Not necessarily what it says about those friends in general, but just about the bond between us and how we affect each other seems a little off. But for the romantic relationship, both the persons characteristics and the bond seem dot on. Maybe it has to do with knowing the actual birth time of the friends and not just the birthdate? Either way, I absolutely love this app and have recommended it to everyone in my inner circle!Show lessOneWithScales!
They ruined the app.
This used to be the best app of this category in my opinion, but with all the ongoing changes happening constantly they’ve forced me to remove and reevaluate. This app is not friendly for neurodivergent people as the layout they switched to is extremely overstimulating. If you’ve been a user previously: nothing looks the same. If you’ve never been a user: the app is not easily navigated as there are things tucked away and placed all over the place with no prompt whatsoever to engage with it. Almost everything costs money now and they’re steadily locking new features that people were allowed to use previously for free for years. Also, this app was slightly repetitious before but I ignored it because there were a lot of other great features to use. Since they keep locking everything and are trying to force people to pay for a mediocre app that was free to use for YEARS, now it’s not worth it imo at all because every week you get the same prompts basically. On Monday they’re telling you in a 12-slide screen (if y’all would combine it could be in one or two. Why do we have to swipe through our Dailys to read one sentence at a time for it to equal 10-14 slides that all basically say the same thing) that you’re feeling “security angst” but they’ll tell you the same thing next Wednesday. It’s obnoxious. What felt so (lacking a better term) genuine now feels like it was pumped out by moneyhungry trend snobs in a single weekend.Show lesssincerelyjacs

Hi there! We appreciate you providing us with this feedback and regret hearing you were disappointed with our app and it's features. As we continue to improve and enhance the app with fresh new content to engage with, we hope you will give it another try. Kind regards.It’s good needs some improvement
I really love this app and the pattern for daily and 6 month cycles and also running bonds. However there are some improvements that need to be made.
Instead of having the information on so many slides, just have it on a few or even one where you can just scroll down and read. And then this way you can easily export/share it with a friend instead of having to share 10-20 slides.
It would be great to have a home page that actually has an explanation of what the pattern is and the main parts of the wheel - eg delicate, extraordinary etc and then frustration etc. would be good to understand if you have multiple of one what does this mean or is there things that should be avoided.
Please make improvements.Show lessoceamermaid
Used to love this app before they got greedy
Honestly I really did love this app so much when I first downloaded it 3+ years ago. It provided all kinds of very interesting (and accurate!) natal chart-type information without using hard-to-understand astrological terms, which really was invaluable to me as a beginner with this stuff. All kinds of information regarding transits (timing) and bonds with others, both friendly and romantic, completely at my fingertips.
Now, however, they’ve taken that exact same information and put it all behind a paywall. I can’t go deeper on my romantic connection/timing with my boyfriend without paying a minimum of $20 for three months of access. It’s just really disheartening and disappointing; I’ve yet to find another app like this one, but I simply cannot justify being charged so much to subscribe to information that was once included 😔
I’m not big on writing these reviews, but seriously this one does make me that sad.Show lessSheldoniaa
