AMAZING APP!
I have been waiting for this app for several months and it’s worth the wait. Despite the price it’s still worth it. The guides are incredibly detailed and useful. Best 15 dollars I will ever spend.app of good
Love it but could be better
I have been waiting for this app for months now. I was so excited when it finally launched. The design is beautiful and the chart looks really nice. But the free version only gives you your big 3 and you have to pay $15/a month to access the full chart which to me is a huge money grab. I’d maybe pay $15 one time but I simply cannot afford the $15/month. A bit of a letdown after waiting months and months.Show lessblondexsunshine

Hey! We hear you. 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.Inaccurate birth charts
Love the idea but the info is so wrong. I don’t even know how they determines mine and my children’s charts but they are so so off lol. Go to Astro.com ONLY to see the true charts. This isn’t gonna teach you well because it’s not correct.PsyTheMothership

Hey! What you're seeing is probably due to different house systems in creating charts. Basically (and you might know this already) there are a lot of ways to organize a natal chart. We use the Whole Sign house system, whereas you might just be used to seeing your chart constructed using a different system. They're all correct and real and all that good stuff — they just work a little differently. And they often will show you some placements in different houses — it can be pretty shocking if you've been used to seeing one chart and suddenly see a totally different one. Let us know if you wanna talk through the reasons why we use Whole Sign houses vs. other chart systems! But we promise, our charts are definitely correct (we tested them until we were dizzy, seriously). We love talking about this stuff: hello@starchild.app.Subscribed but still can’t access content
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 is a steep - with a basic/free account only giving you info on your big 3. As someone who is practically a collector of astrology apps, this seems inaccessible and unnecessary when I can get more information for free elsewhere. The daily insights read like snippets from CHANI herself. Despite all of this, I paid the $15 to access the full scope of what this app has to offer only to discover that I still don’t have access to the guides. I don’t see anyway to change this - I click on the “upgrade” button and it shows me the obvious… that I already subscribed to the level I need to access this resource. I’d love to love this app but it definitely needs more work.Show lessB_Realist

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!

No dailies on the basic app!!!!!! You have to pay monthly to get daily horoscopes and insights. Might as well just make a chart for your kid on costar. I’m so disappointed by how expensive this app is.ImmaStonerr

I’m an astrologer and tarot-practitioner for 17 years. This is an area of astrological insight that is so deeply needed and I’m so glad that you developed this application. Using astrology to understand ourselves, and our parenting is ingenious and desperately needed. I wanted to give this app a try. I wanted to test drive it for a while to see what astrological insights were being provided.
When I read my “this week” I was floored.
Not only did it 100% encapsulate my current experience but also the growth that I experienced during the week, mentally emotionally and energetically. I thought to myself, if I had known this slightly more ahead of time for myself than ai did in this concise, compassionate, tender, loving way, how would that have impacted my choices this week, my perspective, the grace and self forgiveness I could’ve harnessed and used as a propellant for change?
In my work I focus so much on the collective and working with others that sometimes it’s really helpful to have this insight on yourself for yourself. Even practitioners can get “practitioner blindness” in the sense that so much of our energy is expended outward that sometimes were a little bit behind the game inwardly speaking. This app is going to bring the energy expand and the energy that I harness inside of me into perfect balance.
This is what I’ve been waiting for.
Needless to say, I test drove this app for seven minutes and I’m sold.
You’ve got a lifetime user.
Bravo!Show lessMsmelodym

What can we even say to this? Thank you immensely, not just for the sentiments but for the time you took to write this out. The whole team read this and our hearts were just bursting. We're really doing our best, and this kind of feedback (especially from someone with your experience and expertise) means more than we can say. Thank you thank you.Cool but wrong??
What chart does your app use? It’s saying my mars is in the 9th but my mars is actually in the 8th. Tropical or sidereal, equal or placidius, my mars is in the 8th so not sure why your app is saying 9th.gruju

Hey! We use the Whole Sign house system. We love nerding out about different house systems, so if you wanna chat it through with us, give us an email: hello@starchild.app. But in the meantime, we promise you your chart is "correct" — it's just weird to see a different house system if you've been used to seeing something else (which it sounds like you probably are familiar with).Missing some stuff
Great idea but it’s missing some things imo, like aspects and synastry and composites. It’s currently buggy as it’s new. A little disappointed I paid $16 and don’t have access to my child’s sun sign guide and can’t currently add additional children.eileen_conlan

First of all, yes, 100% we cannot WAIT to launch aspects and synastry and composites — it's such juicy stuff and we've been building in that direction since before we even launched. It's just far more structurally complex to build (not to mention a ton of additional content to write), and we already had everything else ready to go — but we are working on it tirelessly over here. We can't wait to share it with you, honestly, it's so fun. In the meantime, all the bugs should be fixed. I see you were reviewing this with an older version of the app — make sure you update! With that update, all of your guides are now unlocked as well. Instead of getting a new guide each month, you'll now get all of them right at once, whether you're using monthly or yearly billing. We're obsessed with these guides and very quickly realized we didn't want to make anyone wait to get all of them. If you continue to have any issues at all after you update, just let us know! hello@starchild.app. We agree — a buggy early version of the app feels like a 3-star experience, but hopefully it works beautifully for you after you update. Thanks so much for your feedback. It's sincerely so helpful for us as we work to make things as good as they can be.new way to think about astrology
Love learning all the ways to reframe astrology through a parenting lens! There aren’t many sources of truth in the astro community when it comes to lives of parents and children.Meg Lucero
Beautiful design
All the insights are so thoughtful and I love the collages and illustrations in the guides!jeansupreme
