Insightful

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!

Great app, terrible data back up

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.

Newbie

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!

Great app and functionality but crashes too often losing data/readings

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

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

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 )

stop logging me out!

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.

From someone with 20+ yrs in tarot..

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..

Wish I could give more stars

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.

AWESOME APP!!

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!

Useful

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.

Been using these for two years - excellent deck

I’ve been using this deck for over two years. It’s my favorite app as a quick reference and the succinct key words to provide a starting point. What is really informative is to gaze at the images of the card for a few minutes—what do the fishes or the rainbows represent to YOU?

This is the best free tarot app I know of that can allow you to work to study suits, numerology, and the major arcana. Cups hold water, water means emotions, love, and friendship. Pentacles are coins, they represent Earthly needs. The patterns will emerge to you over time.

I strongly recommend you get a cheap notebook and jot down your question, the symbols you resonate with in the cards you drew to answer the questions. Don’t try to learn them all at once :)

Thank-You Tina!

I’ve been too nervous to use my actual deck and learning tarot alone felt overwhelming so this absolutely free app has helped me tremendously! Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us Tina! I am absolutely going to buy this deck when I learn a little more. It will be awesome having the deck I learned with. Very special. And as a recently awakened soul, synchronicities are abundant. I happened by your app without searching for tarot but knowing it is a gift I have. And every single card has been spot on. Some bringing me to tears of acceptance. It will be really cool to be able to look back on my logs later in life and see the stats of where I was at. Thanks again Tina! Your an amazing human.

Like it but one big downside

I got this app one day when I desperately needed divine guidance and I’ve been using it ever since. I love the daily reading option, the simple designs of the cards, and the descriptions on the cards which help me get the general gist of the meaning as I am a beginner to tarot. However, one big annoyance is the logged reading system. Whenever I click on one to study it, when I go back, it takes me back to the top. This wouldn’t be bad if I didn’t have many logged readings but I have like over 100 at this point! It’s very aggravating. I really wish you can fix this feature! It would also be great if we could organize the logged readings into our own folders. Please consider fixing this, if you do this will be essentially a perfect app. Thank you for your hard work 🙏

Love it!

I actually loved these and bought the golden thread deck this week in person. I was so excited to see them and the box was big so the attendant told me the cards would be too. I’m glad he was wrong. The app works flawless for me. I find it accurate, and use this app when I don’t want to dig out my cards. I think there’s a few things that would make this app top notch... adding a combination calculator and suggestions, and longer card meanings. I find myself having to toggle between the web to learn more about the cards on a deeper, in depth meaning.
I love the smooth interface and simplicity. So. I’d say definitely for beginning learners.

A useful tool

I’ve never been big into mystic stuff as anything more than a party gag- after all if you make fortunes vague enough they’ll apply to everything- but golden tarot’s approach of using it as a tool to help you think about a given situation from a perspective you might not otherwise consider struck a chord with me. The app has insightful readings that make you ask questions about your situation, and I’ve found it can actually help me focus and use logic and reason to work through stressful situations. I liked it so much I bought the cards, and the physical act of shuffling can be almost meditative, putting me in a better mindset to consider my problems (not to mention they’re beautiful). I don’t believe anyone can tell the future, but I do believe this can be a help you work through your problems.

Great potential!

This app has great potential. I enjoy everything about it, but I’d like to request the ability to set my Mirror to default to physical cards. I despise digital drawing and I do not feel it has ANY connection to one’s self, whereas my physical cards never fail to make sense and my real cards and I come to an understanding naturally, which says a lot since I am still new to and learning Tarot. I am looking for a dedicated tarot journal quite like this one, to help me learn the cards and log my daily draws and any spreads. I LOVE that I can easily pick tag words to express how the draw made me feel for the day! Keep up the great work but please consider offering physical cards as a default option to change on “my mirror” because as it stands “my mirror” is going to be an utterly unused menu item; bummer because it’s the MAIN landing page. I have to click on my log and then click over to “spreads,” please allow us to change the card on the daily draw for those of us that only use physical cards?! 😁 5 stars when that update comes. Looking forward to it.

Awesome even for a beginner!🔮✨

I am pretty new to tarot readings and have been borrowing a deck from a friend of mine, and it seemed like a lot to learn at once. But, this app was awesome and reliable from the get-go! It’s great for on-the-go with a virtual deck or helping you with a physical deck present. Beautiful imagery. You are available to search any card or suit and its meaning at any time, and there are even little lessons available to learn from. Many different spreads are offered, as well. I like that the card explanations are specific enough to help and reference, but also open to a little interpretation. The only drawbacks I can see are that it will sometimes glitch or freeze for a few seconds, but it’s nothing a little patience and/or closing out the app and reopening won’t fix! Great resource for beginners like me. 💕

Make Motion Accessible please!!!

Hi there, I fell in love with your beautiful app but the rapid motion animation triggers a migraine, I also know that this rapid motion can trigger other chronic illnesses too. One of the worst parts, other than the animations being rapid, is that they’re above where you are expected to keep your line of vision. This can also trigger cognitive issues. Lastly, these animations don’t seem to serve any function other than to look cool (which they totally do!) usually motion is meant to communicate some sort of hierarchy (aka where your eye is meant to go first.) your’s is like “look at me and NEVER look away.” Haha but honestly this is all out of love. I will be happy to share this app with my tarot community here in the Bay Area and change to a 5 star review if you make your app more accessible. Motion design can be accessible keep in mind! Google Accessibility for Motion Design. Thank you!!

Jungian approach, beautiful deck

I am so impressed with this app. As a psychologist, I take aJungian approach to the use of archetypes. What a refreshing surprise to find a tarot app that is based upon this approach. The app is full of info, absolutely beautiful, free and ad-free. My first daily card was so spot-on it made me laugh out loud and feel comforted that my unconscious has a handle on the situation. I went to the developer’s website, also stunningly executed and full of possibilities. I plan on buying the physical deck as a thank you and to support the generosity of offering such a lovely free app for people to explore themselves. (Besides, the deck looks gorgeous). I don’t often rate apps, but I had to take a moment to thank Labyrinthos for this rare gem.

Great app for beginners and experts alike!

I love this app so much. I’m completely new to tarot and this helped me really understand the spirit and meaning behind each card. It also has great tips for doing readings and the like. The daily card feature is my absolute favorite. The cards have all been so accurate for how my days feel and the whole energy behind the app (and I’m sure, the deck) is so lovely and clean.

Update: I bought the deck and have been slacking a little bit on learning more. But today, I picked a card from my physical deck, and then picked a card in the app, and it was the same card! I truly feel like this deck and the app really Speak to me as well as communing with each other. I love this app so much.
