The value is in the details
It’s the details for me. Yes, the user interface makes the experience smooth and easy. Yes, the graphics and art are beautiful. But it’s the level of detail in the content where this app stands out — and, obviously, that’s what you really want from a service like this. The forecasts blew me away with how much they tell you and the depth they go into. They’re full of thought-provoking ideas that I’m sure will prompt a lot of opportunities for self-reflection and learning. Will be excited to see what comes next.Show lessTheRealPuko
Wonderful Insights for Mindful Parenting
Wildly impressed with my Star Child experience. I am a new subscriber, and was hesitant to go monthly on a brand new app. But the daily updates are surprisingly robust and open my mind to in-sync ways of parenting (and cohabitating with) my 6yo Aries and 10yo Pisces. Destined to be mentioned in the same breath as Co-Star. Excited I got here early!Show lessVictorNightengale
In the early stages but exciting
I have been excited for this app to release since I learned about it on Instagram months ago. I love the UX/UI. The price seems steep - with a basic/free account only giving you info on your big 3 - but it’s a small team of people who deserve living wages. The guides are deep and detailed, with helpful little mantras sprinkled in. I find the content helpful and fresh, but a little redundant. The “this week” and “this season” overviews are long and in depth - depending on the day, this is a plus, sometimes it can feel overwhelming. I would suggest making the dates (ex. Tues, 3/19:) under “key moments” bold, to distinguish them better for the reader and separate the heavy flow of text. Further suggestions: I would include the ability to add a co-parent, a synastry section to see how your placements directly interact with your child’s - as right now, it’s siloed per individual, and possibly an educational or engaging section for your child - whether it’s geared toward astrological insights or mindfulness and self-awareness (this could just be the guides but written for them in a digestible language).Show lessB_Realist
Developer Response
Hey! We hear you, and thanks for reaching out and generally being psyched about what we're doing. It's early days, and feedback like this is legit how we are going to make this app as good as it can be. Let's address your technical stuff first: you were dealing with a bug in that version of the app -- if you update your app to the latest version, you should be all good. If you still have problems, please email us and we will immediately dig into it. But I'm pretty sure updating your app will do it! And regarding the cost: Honestly, we would give up all the content for free if we could figure out a way to do so and still pay our team to create it. We're a small company, totally not backed by investors — just a team of astrologers, writers, and designers trying to make something beautiful. No investors or big corporations are out here getting rich off our users' $15/month. It's just how we put food on our tables. Everyone on our team is paid a super healthy living wage, and to do that, we have to charge for the app. We simply would not ask anyone to work for less than they're worth. Thank you so much for the kind words about how beautiful the app is! We humbly agree! We hope you'll understand that we creating all this content (and just running the app) is not cheap...at all. Hopefully that gives you some context! If you want to discuss further, we're genuinely very happy to talk further! hello@starchild.app. You won't get a random customer service person if you email there — our actual founder Jessica (hi, that's me, writing this) will get back to you.Worth the price tag
I was so excited for this app to launch, and like some of the reviews here I was a little hesitant at the price. But when I say it is SO worth every penny. The breadth and depth of the content in this app is truly unmatched by other astrology apps. And other parenting apps, for that matter. The library is extensive, you will not run out of things to read, and so customized and specific 🤌🏻🤌🏻 extremely impressive for such a new product, can’t wait to see where they take it.Show lessJaymalay75
Just what I’ve been looking for
Really insightful app with gorgeous artwork! A breath of fresh air compared to something like costar that just feels repetitive. Honestly don’t even mind paying a little when everything is so carefully curated. Me and my kids have been having fun with this oneNickTurboB
This app is fantastic!
I’d been waiting months for this app to launch and it did not disappoint! It’s affordable, and I love the option to choose the payment plan. The annual fee is super reasonable for what you get - and you get a LOT.
Beautifully designed, no issues or bugs. 10/10!Rubies777
Wish there was a relational analysis
The graphics are beautiful and the charts are very detailed but the app offers only what your chart says about as a parent and what your child’s chart says about them as a child but there is no relational comparison. For me it would need the comparison to be worth the price.PaigeGarren
I use it daily
I love this app! It’s so thorough and thoughtful and really helps me view parenting situations from a different perspective every single day. I never take astrology (or anything lol) as gospel but I do appreciate being prompted into different perspectives and this really helps me with that — for myself and as a parent!Show lessMother of Dinos
Beautiful design and new way to think about parenting
I love this app! I’m learning so much about where I shine as a caregiver and what kind of challenges I might be up against day to day. I love how you can explore the full charts of everyone in your family to understand how they’re each experiencing the day to day of family life and it’s really helped me get how different everyone’s needs can be and how parents and kids can come to the same situation from totally different places. Highly recommend!!Show lessLili27770
So insightful
There’s so much to explore in this app. Beyond the charts (beautifully designed) and daily and weekly horoscopes (lengthy and insightful) there are guides for yourself and all of your children (incredibly long and detailed and thoughtful.) you can spend hours and hours learning about yourself and your children and your relationships on hereShow less034759803145709183475
