### 5/5 — Insightful

*2023-01-15, version 2.2.3*

I haven’t been using this app for long but I fell in love with the other apps from this developer. It’s so real, authentic and I cannot say enough how much I appreciate and love that she creates wonderful apps that are ACTUALLY totally free and you don’t have to deal with ads or ugly banners that disrupt the feel and connection with content. I hope she is forever able to maintain that. These are the kind of developers we need to be supporting. As for the app itself, it’s simple and thoughtful, and realistic. I will definitely update once I’ve spent more time with this one but based upon my current use and my interactions with the other apps, I can’t see having any bad feelings about it ever. I started with the Labyrinthos (might have misspelled that) and I cannot recommend it more, it is PHENOMENAL!

### 1/5 — Great app, terrible data back up

*2022-12-02, version 2.2.3*

Like the other labyrinthos app, the “back up” process for this app doesn’t work. Most of my cards drawn while logged in do not show up when the app kicks me out and I have to log in again, meaning I lose card history every time the app kicks me out and forced me to log in again, which is several times a week. This is very frustrating and makes it impossible to use the app as intended. I’m having a very similar issue with their Luminous Spirit app that makes that app impossible to use as intended. I wonder what is going on with this company that they have allowed these bugs to destroy the user experience for so long (the bugs have persisted for several years) Labyrinthos, when will you fix these terrible bugs so I can freely use and love your apps?? I am a daily tarot user with many tarot fans as friends, and I would gladly recommend your apps to all of my many tarot loving friends, but not until these bugs are fixed.

### 5/5 — Newbie

*2022-11-02, version 2.2.3*

I’m a newcomer into the tarot world and I am torn between wanting dearly to learn to read the cards and trust my intuition while on the other hand fighting the indoctrination that has been instilled in me since a child. We actually burned these things and I thought they were inherently evil. I’m coming to grasps with my God given gifts and I know that I know that healing is one of the many gifts that God has blessed me with. (Source, Creator—however you address the higher power and connector of us all in this universe (multiverse, etc). My mind is wide open and I appreciate getting to sit with one card a day and focus on that card’s meaning and what it can apply to in my life. This app is a gem. Thank you for thinking of me when you made it!

### 3/5 — Great app and functionality but crashes too often losing data/readings

*2022-08-28, version 2.2.3*

This would be a 5 star rating if the stability of the app was solid too. Too often when trying to save a reading and enter in the details of the question and subsequent feelings/thoughts on it, the app locks up and then crashes. Opening the app back up, nothing was saved and many of the most profound, resonant readings have been completely lost which is exceptionally frustrating and almost takes away from the contented, reaffirming and calming feelings that you can get when the cards seem to know more about what is occurring than you know. The last update was 4 years ago so this is very likely as good as the app will ever be so if I find an app that is as good and stable it'll be the final time I use this one

### 5/5 — Tarot really is an art , and the phone offers public privacy in a reading .

*2022-05-26, version 2.2.3*

Man, so sometimes these cards are a reality check for an idealistic triple Pisces such as myself . The interpretation of each card every day offers consolation in the form of slight reality checks. You will find not much sugar here . Sometimes that is what I need to stay prepared for potential emotions and events in this drama of life. 
Beyond the personal checks, I get a great card a day reading that doubles as educational for a novice tarot reader. The art of Tarot is just that. This app is wonderful and there’s something wonderful about the design style of the deck. Simple ?! bold, ! Novel but without straying to far from the original rider whaite . Groovy stuff . Enjoy y’all, and ace of cups for all of you (if you earned it )

### 3/5 — stop logging me out!

*2022-02-26, version 2.2.3*

edit: this app keeps logging me out. it's very frustrating and honestly splitting between the two different labyrinthos apps doesn't make a lot of sense to me! if it stopped logging me out i would use it again but i'm taking a star off of my review because it makes the app unusable for me when i want to do a quick reading in the bathroom at work or whatever and i need to swipe through the whole intro login page and then log in again. 

helps me learn, whether you have your own deck yet or not. I've had issues with data backup but for now it seems to be working, I wish it would save locally on iPhone if you didn't have can account (or at least save for longer than a month or so when it all got deleted accidentally, when I would have made an account if I had been promoted to, so that was frustrating.) But now that I'm logged in I'm hoping it won't log me out so I won't lose any data.

### 5/5 — From someone with 20+ yrs in tarot..

*2022-02-22, version 2.2.3*

Who am I? Nobody important in the occult world; but I’ve been doing spreads for decades, blogging about tarot, reading most of the books and listening to half of the podcasts on the subject. A couple of years ago I began using this app exclusively for daily pulls instead of my physical decks. Not only do I like the artwork’s simplicity and charm (who needs all of those “Golden Dawn” symbols for fortune telling anyway, no offense to them), the app’s card pull generator is positively BRUTAL. I am more and more convinced every year of the occult powers of random number generators. I confer often with friends who agree- the results are downright SPOOKY.

This app will shake you up like a good reader should. Do it long enough and will drop a pile of unwanted realizations on the floor and push your face in it over and over. It will even keep at you when you decide to turn the corner and make changes just to keep you honest. It will hit you with so many lefts (reversals) you’ll be begging for a right- and you’ll keep coming back. Then it will bring you flowers and everything is fine and dandy again. 

There are a couple of technical issues with the log and sharing functions, but just use screen shots (or a journal) and it’s fine. 

Apps aren’t a substitute for a good reader, but if you want daily doses of gnosis look no further..

### 2/5 — Wish I could give more stars

*2021-08-19, version 2.2.3*

When I first downloaded this app about a year and a half ago in 2020 I loved it and used it a lot. Overtime I started enjoying it more and more and really got used to working with this app for my daily virtual draws when I didn’t have time to do it physically. Unfortunately over the past eight months every time I open this app it has to have me re-sign in my login credentials. This is extremely frustrating because my login information takes a long time to type in and it takes too long and I lose my patience and end up closing the app. I’ve even uninstall the app and re-download it and I am still having the same issue. I am sad to say I am going to be retiring my use of this app due to this annoyance and inconvenience. I wish that the developers would fix this issue.

### 5/5 — AWESOME APP!!

*2021-08-08, version 2.2.3*

I’ve been focusing all of my energy into positivity and happiness in my life. I truly enjoy using this app because I’m learning so much from it. I’ve had tarot cards over the years but never felt I fully understood the process. Using this app breaks things down in a way that’s easy to understand allowing me to gain more knowledge about myself and the world around me. I will buy a physical tarot deck in the future but for now I really appreciate the digital format this app provides. I’m gaining more and more confidence everyday and opening myself up to all of the amazing opportunities around me! Thank you for making such a cool easy to use app that I can consult anytime, anywhere allowing me to acknowledge, receive, and incorporate all the blessings in my life!

### 4/5 — Useful

*2021-07-27, version 2.2.3*

I will admit, I use this app nearly every time i read. The quick and simple explanations of each card are very helpful and it’s nice to not have to dig through 30 interpretations of the same card all the time and just get the gist. However there are a few bugs. If I haven’t used the app for a week or so, I’m prompted with the welcome and features 4 page introduction as if I were a new user every time. Also, when scrolling through the tarot database, sometimes the page gets “stuck” halfway down and I have to spend ten seconds trying to get it to scroll further (particularly on the major arcana page). Besides that, I highly recommend the app if you need something quick and easy to help you through your readings.
