### 5/5 — Best way to learn and preserve the language of tarot!

*2025-11-05*

I’ve used this app for over 5 years and still love it! The Card of the Day feature in particular helped me learn and now preserve my fluency in the language of tarot. I also refer to the dictionary and card pull menu often. I share this app with all of my friends who want to learn tarot too. It’s foundational!!!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-06-19*

I’ve been learning the tarot for 25 years. This is one of the best tools for memorizing the cards and for quick descriptions rather than combing through the pages of the book. Absolutely terrific for beginners I could not recommend this app more highly

### 5/5 — The Best I’ve Used

*2021-12-28*

My favorite Cards. Accurate readings, insightful and very helpful guidance.

### 5/5 — ❣️Thank you

*2021-02-26*

I’ve had this app for years!! In that time frame I’ve gone through different phases of why I use the app. I probably started being a dizzy person in love wanting clarity. After years of playing with the different options and doing the one card meditation I finally got my own deck. Haven’t used it yet. This app created a desire to learn. Everyday I learn a little bit more. Thank you so much. My world has open up both internally and universally. 💖

### 5/5 — Very good tarot app

*2020-09-23*

I find it very inspiring and easy to handle as a beginner

### 5/5 — Great Tarot App

*2019-08-05*

The cards are very nice.  The colors, characters, and scenes depicted appeal to me.  I love the card drawing options because you can draw a card, explore, or choose a new reading in the spread you pick.  I also like the option to see Full Text from the book for the Meaning of the card(s).

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2018-09-25*

"Excellent!". This app is very well developed, its easy to use and the cards are great! They say its for the beginner but the cards and approach outshine many so called advanced tarot cards. It really is a wonderful effective app and i also bought the physical cards. Worth every penny! I highly recommend this.

### 1/5 — Journal function crashes

*2018-04-17*

Journal crashes

### 1/5 — Loved Fools Dog Until...

*2018-01-22*

The journal function no longer works for any of my Fools Dog apps. I have over 10 of your apps, so over 10x the disappointment. Not buying any more of your apps. :-/

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2018-01-17*

It gives me very helpful tips and encouraged me a lot. Just trust and it will help! Highly recommend
