### 5/5 — Great for beginners!

*2016-07-22*

This is a little more up to date for current circumstances and it teaches the basics like it says. I just wish there were more spreads. If you keep the journal it is easier if the spread is already in the app as opposed to free form where you need to write out the positions and questions for the cards.

### 5/5 — Excellent

### 5/5 — From a Beginner...

*2014-07-16*

This is truly a thought provoking educational tool. I have learned so much about Tarot by using this deck, I feel very comfortable with them already.  The divinational descriptions are thoroughly explained and in such a way as to make it easier to remember.  The artwork on each card is meticulous and beautifully done.  This set is well worth investing in.  I use it every day, and its relevance (though sometimes a bit obscure to me) is highly accurate.

I use it everyday to guide my journal writing

### 5/5 — Great for beginners

*2014-07-04*

I'm new to tarot and I like this app so much I bought the physical deck. The book follows a systematic approach to help you learn the cards. Everything is faithfully reproduced in this app. 
The Fool's Dog people regularly update their apps and I've never had any problems.

### 5/5 — Awesome For Beginners!!

Searched through many different apps looking for a beginning tarot card app and finally settled on this one. This is one of the best apps I've EVER used. I love it!! It's clear, concise and easy to use. Fantastic purchase, highly recommend!!!

This is the most accurate deck I have ever used! I love it😊

### 5/5 — First-rate tarot app!

I love all of the Fool's Dog apps- and this one in particular is a favorite!

My favorite by far.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-08-26*

I am returning to Tarot after some time away and this app is just what I need. The controls are easy to understand and the art work is stunning.

I find Tarot very stimulating for my creative writing and with this app, I can carry the images I need wherever I go.

I'm a very satisfied customer.

### 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. :-/

### 4/5 — Adua

*2017-11-07*

Good cards.

### 4/5 — Really helpful

*2017-08-01*

I've been using this daily because I am trying to learn tarot. I have the same physical cards in my possession as well, so I am using these together. 
The interface is simple and I can move from page to page with no problems. 
The information is easily digestible and I'm finding it helpful in my learning journey. 
I do wish that there was information on reading reverse tarot, but there is probably information in the book, that I haven't read. 

Overall very pleased. I define recommend this, and will even be purchasing another deck to compliment the pack that I also have at home.

### 4/5 — I enjoy using this but

*2014-07-02*

When sharing on social media the artwork on the cards is blurry. Fix this and it's a five star app!

### 4/5 — Nice

*2013-10-15*

Well designed, intuitive app with good content.

### 4/5 — Worth it for the text

*2013-08-16*

I was going to pass on this one as I'm not crazy about the deck's artwork itself -- too derivative of RWS and offering nothing new or different in that regard. The book, however, is excellent and very helpful even to an intermediate user like myself. Glad I decided to get this one just for the good stuff the book offers.

### 4/5 — Wonderful App

*2013-08-05*

I have several of the Fools Dog Tarot apps and love them all (some more than others).  I especially appreciate the variety of books and descriptions that accompany each app.  They have made each app unique not only in the cards but the reading material as well.  I also like that they include different spreads but would recommend that in the updates they consolidate all the spreads, if possible, so when you find one you like you can use with any deck.

### 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.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

Excelent app!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2016-07-31*

I have been using Tarot for years and have this deck so this app is great for me. Simple to use and easy to understand. The card for today is a nice feature. Suitable for anyone interested in Tarot no matter what level you are.
