## What is STAR/CHILD?

STAR/CHILD is the only astrology app just for parenting. It’s a complete parenting playbook based on your unique astrological chart and the charts of your whole family.

Here’s what you get to work with:

* Ultra-detailed relationship breakdowns that unpack what astrology says about your relationship with your kids and co-parents (and how they vibe with each other too)

* Full birth charts for everyone in your family along with an extensive and highly specific analysis of what each of your placements has to say about your parenting style — and what your kids’ charts have to say about what exactly they’re likely to need most from you in order to thrive.

* Daily horoscopes for you and each of your kids that take everything happening up in the sky and translate it into the essential things you need to know to make the most of your parenting life on any given day.

* Daily audio readings to give you the essential rundown of the day: what's the vibe, what to expect, and how to make the most of it.

* Weekly audio astrology previews to take you deep into the coming week's astrology and what it means for life with kids (and life in general).

* Whole Sky horoscopes to show you where every planet, luminary, and node are in the sky on any given day: what sign they're in, what house they're in for you specifically, and what you need to know about each transit.

* Downloadable guides that go in deep (we mean super deep) on what your Sun, Rising, and Moon signs say about your parenting superpowers, how you emotionally process things, what parts of life with kids might be challenging for you, and how to deal with all of it.

Your family isn’t like anyone else’s. This is your super-detailed guidebook to life with your weird little crew, specifically. Just as they are, just as you are, explained by the astrology of the moment you were born, and every moment you’re living in now.

### 1/5 — App Never Worked

*2026-06-30*

Unfortunately, I never got to use this app. After downloading it, it would only display the STAR/CHILD logo screen and never load past it, no matter how long I waited or how many times I tried.

I also paid for the premium subscription, which made the experience even more frustrating. I reached out to the company by both email and Instagram for support but never received a response.

The app looks like it has great potential based on the description, but I wasn’t able to access any of the features. Until the loading issue is fixed and customer support is more responsive, I can’t recommend paying for the premium subscription.

### 4/5 — Great content but app is buggy

*2026-06-24*

I love Jessica’s reading and it is so far the best astrology content. But really need some improvement on the app: for example there is not today’s reading when I open the app and it is still showing the yesterday one. There has been several times that the recording cannot be played normally. Jessica keeps saying you can go listen to last week or another day’s reading but I can never successfully have pas day recording played. I will select the date, hit the play, and it still play today’s or this week’s recording, not the designated one. Please look into your app infrastructure and see how can we get it function better. But again, all these is because I love your content and I would like to be able to access what you suggest to listen back.

### 5/5 — Extremely illuminating

*2026-06-20*

In the past, I didn’t take much stock in astrology and horoscopes, but after using this app, and seeing how the specifics of my family’s birth charts interact with one another, I was struck by how illuminating these insights can be! I gained quite a bit of insight into my own interactions with my child based on our charts, and how I can best meet his needs. I felt that the individual birth charts were very knowledgeable and painted an accurate picture of the individuals in my family as I knew them. My only suggestion would be a widget for the iPhone Home Screen that had daily information about the family signs interactions or the origin parent’s day, similar to the co-star app’s widget.

### 1/5 — You will end up cut off.

*2026-05-14, version 2.4.0*

This is hands down the worst app idea I have ever seen. This will ruin lives and damage children. Get help from a professional backed by data. Not an app based on lies.

### 3/5 — 5 star idea; flawed execution

*2026-05-11*

I have been asking all of my current astrology apps to add parent child relationships to their offerings, so the idea of Star/Child is GOLD. Unfortunately, the astrology is wrong. My houses are all off so I don’t identify with much of what is written about me, my husband or my kid as a result. I would be paying for a subscription to this app if not for this flaw — so I’m happy I checked it out first before committing to paid. I’ll keep the app on my phone and check back periodically to see if it’s changed. In the meantime I’m going to keep doing what I’m doing: using Claude to give me a monthly family-dynamic astrology reading.

### 2/5 — Incorrect placements

*2026-05-04, version 2.4.0*

I really wanted to love this app, but I noticed many incorrect placements in my chart—mySun, Mercury, Jupiter, Uranus are off by one house. I use time passages and Astro seek as my go to, btw. That being said, I cannot trust this app to give me correct information until it gives me a correct birth chart. My daughter’s chart is also off in the same manner. This feels a lot like asking chat gpt about my birth chart—it’s completely inaccurate. I canceled my sub immediately. The concept is amazing, but it needs real work.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-04-29*

I was excited to use this app for my family & I. I downloaded and input all our information & paid the fee upfront to be able to start using it. It seemed like a lot of information, although you can tell something’s were generic, it still was pretty cool to see the astrological connections within my home. Well it worked for ONE day then crashed. The day after I got it I went to show my husband and it wouldn’t even open then it opened and would load our information. Now it’s continuously asking me to input my birthday and info every time I do it it just starts over. I deleted it and downloaded back, did all the troubleshooting I know how and it doesn’t work. SMH I’m getting a refund!!

### 3/5 — Got star chart wrong, can’t figure out how to fix it

*2026-04-28, version 2.4.0*

I really wanted to check out this app. It got my star chart correct but my son’s wrong. He’s a Gemini/aries/aries and it says Gemini/gemini/aries. I checked against google and several AIs. Star child is somehow wrong and I can’t fix it.

### 3/5 — Ehhh

*2026-04-21*

When looking at the current transits, the app didn’t recognize that Saturn being in Aries is also my Saturn return in the 6th house. That was the information I was looking for specifically because it’s one of the most important transits in anyone’s life, but also important to me as a mother. I also quickly realized that this is written by AI. Classic sentence structuring of “it’s not X, it’s Y” or “this isn’t X, this is Y.” Lots of em dashes (not criminal in nature lol, but a component.) 

The daily review also could not have been more off. The content feels very fabricated by someone that has the basic understanding of astrology and the symbolism…just like AI. I don’t use Chat GPT or similar, but I could have gotten the same information if I gave it my birth chart. 

Three stars because parenting is a good topic that isn’t talked about enough in astrology spaces.

### 3/5 — Great app but problem opening

*2026-04-05, version 2.3.0*

I love this app, but it often doesn’t fully open past the title screen. Otherwise it’s a great app.
