  • Please Add A Monthly Subscription

    I’ve had this app ever since it came out and I really love and appreciate what I’ve been able to learn about myself and the people close to me because of it. This is back before the dating, the bonds, and the paid content. I have no problem paying for the service but I just have no desire to spend $40 when I barely open the app. I know it may sound crazy but I’d rather pay a small fee monthly and forget about it, even if it ends up being more money than the current options. Most of my time on The Pattern is a Saturday morning binge and when I come every few weeks to the app and I want to “go deeper” - I’m met with a paywall of two very unappealing options. I don’t want to be billed quarterly or yearly. In short, I don’t want to pay a large sum all at once for this service. I hope I was able to articulate my experience well. I want to keep learning about the people I love and support The Pattern! It’s one of the better astrology based apps out there. I just would like the option to pay monthly.

    Edit: Or a one-time option like Time Passages would be sufficient!

  • Subscription out of nowhere???

    I have a video editing app that I've had for YEARS now. Back then I got if for free but everyone who is downloading it now, has to pay a subscription. With time the app expanded and got better and had to start charging money in order to get better and develop. I can't believe you guys are charging EVERYONE, even the people that have been there from the beginning, the people who've been marketing your app, the people who've been loving and supporting this app from day one (!!!) THE SAME SUPER EXPENSIVE AMOUNT!!! FOR AN APP THAT GOT SO BAD WITH THE UPDATE. If it was the old version I would consider paying.. but this app turned into a dating app instead of an astrology app and I hate it so much. I'm so sad about this. I always loved telling people about this app but I think if you guys don't find a fix, I will have to find another app. It's like giving a starving human bread all day and then out of no where being like "Ok now the next bread will cost you X amount". I understand that you need money as well but at least give us a "early bird sale" recognizing and appreciating your first users and everyone who is now joining can pay the full price. I'm so sad.

  • Favorite notification ever.

    I love this app. When I get a new notification from it and I have time to read it, I’m never disappointed. It’s honestly freaky accurate all the time and really provides a lot of clarity for me and even is kind of soothing. I read some of the patterns to my mom occasionally and once she nearly spit out her coffee laughing at how accurate it is.

    All of that being said, I would really appreciate it if this app was somehow available on my laptop for journaling purposes (I have a MacBook). I would absolutely make this app my regular journal prompt if I had the opportunity but typing on my phone is just not as comforting and retyping the entire Pattern that I read or am responding too on my current journaling app is not so fun either. An app for laptops would be great or even the ability to sink it with another journaling App like Day One would make this my favorite app of all time.

    Please and thank you!!!

  • Used to love it but update ruined it

    I used to love this app so much and would recommend it to literally everyone. But the new layout is horrible, super hard to understand and not intuitive to use at all. I hate that they’ve got rid of upcoming patterns so you have to time travel to figure out what’s coming up soon. The new, weird feature that looks like an instagram story is just hard to read and not needed at all. The app was much better how it was before!!! Also all the features that you now need to pay for that used to be free are upsetting. Notice how all the best review for this app are from over a year ago when the app was actually useable and wasn’t plagued by complicated layouts and paywalls. Please sort it out Pattern bc I used to love your app so much and follow it religiously but barely use it now :(((

  • Disappointing Unfortunate and Predatory

    This use to be an app worth having. Why wouldn’t you make money off of ads instead of ruining the app for your users with paid content that was previously free. It’s the same content that literally doesn’t change much yet to go deeper we need to pay a ridiculous fee every 3 months. That’s really horrible and greedy of you. How could you go from helping humans make meaningful connections to charging them a ridiculous fee instead of say a 1 time even to view the same content many of your loyal users have already read? Or even asking for a one time fee from new users. I use to recommend this to all my friends and family now it’s a rip off of an app. Are there any plans to restore previously free content can you fix the bonds? Can you at least consider and apply making money from ads from companies rather then regular people. Smh can you do better?! Update: new interface is a jumbled up mess why would I want to see world transits first and have my personal timing buried making it hard to find. Added dating but no matter where I am there is always “not enough people” in my area forcing you to expand your search to miles away but you want ppl to pay $60 to actually see the connections they have? You don’t even have the “supply” to demand that. Smh it’s giving predatory.

  • used to love this app

    the 4.0 version of the app is not an upgrade:(
    There are many things that aren’t available now and the look of the new version is not as appealing. I loved the content of this app, but the new version makes me not want to check it.
  • Great but bugs

    I’ve been using this app since 2019. It’s very insightful and supportive. With the 4.0 came great updates but the BUGS need to be addressed: 1)parts of messages get stuck and I have to go out of the message and then go back in and try not to scroll too far to the top of the message (very odd); 2)I can no longer read the details of the pattern with my matches (I’m a paid upgraded member so I can access more information, did I lose this benefit without notice? I can still “go deeper” outside of the dating part); 3)twice, so far, I have unmatched connections and they’ve somehow still had the connection in their end, but with the messages gone, and they messaged me again so I still had to deal with them; 4)this isn’t related to the update, but I wish you had a process to report scammers AFTER they delete the connection. The person(s) could be engaged with others in the platform.

  • If It Ain’t Broke Don’t Fix It

    I have loved The Pattern for years, but this new update is anything but “intuitive” (their language for it in the App Store). I’m confused by the design and have tried to get a hang of it. The old design was far more intuitive and user friendly, and I’m not sure how much I’ll be engaging with the app anymore. Fortunately there are other astrology apps out there. Also, the romantic pattern section has a bug for some users. Mine is fine, but my partner’s isn’t. His shared with past partners feature under each romantic pattern is glitching. First it listed hundreds of people he doesn’t know as past partners, and now it’s listing a ton of people he does know but never marked as past partners. The Pattern has something really special in the type of information they provide, but this new layout and update is a disaster. My hope is that they will bring the old layout back, given all the negative reviews and constructive feedback that they have been receiving about the new update. Two stars instead of one, because this was one of my favorite apps for a long time, and I have faith that they will listen to the feedback we’ve been giving them.

  • Used to adore this app

    This was my favorite app, probably of all time. When it first came out I was obsessed. I got so many friends to download it. I added manual profiles on everyone I know. The design was so sleek and the information innovative. Then… it changed. It took me a while to finally feel comfortable with the new update. Then it changed again. Every time it changes it is LESS user friendly and there is LESS information available. I understand that this is a popular app with a lot of valuable information. But the price is INCREDIBLY steep for what you once offered completely for free. It’s sad. I used to love this app. But now it’s not even aesthetically pleasing. It’s complicated to navigate. I enjoyed the original simplicity. I had a notification for my partner’s personal transit that began today- when I opened the app the home page looked completely different. I had to scroll all the way down in my contacts list to find my partner and swipe through multiple widgets to find the current transit… of the notification that I’d clicked on… all I’m saying is don’t fix it if it isn’t broken. It was perfect to begin with. Disappointed at how much it’s changed.

  • Normally love the app

    But hate the new update. Don’t like the style don’t like the layers. Don’t like how much more confusing it all feels. Doesn’t feel personalised, feels like every tiny transit is shown when some of them aren’t actually close enough to be mentioned (within a few degrees) and also confuses what is a energetic transit of the day verse what is personal.

    Couldn’t find anywhere else to leave this feedback (Soz)

    Bring back June 22 version ☺️
