App Never Worked

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.

Great content but app is buggy

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.

Extremely illuminating

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.

You will end up cut off.

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.

5 star idea; flawed execution

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.

Incorrect placements

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.

Waste of money

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!!

Got star chart wrong, can’t figure out how to fix it

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.

Ehhh

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.

Great app but problem opening

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

No House Systems?

I have combed through this app and can’t find anywhere to choose the housing system. My husband is a Gemini rising in placidus, which is what we always use, but the same birth information for him is giving him a Taurus rising. Yes, it is the correct information. Please let us choose house systems! Aside from that the app is very cute and clean in its design, and seems to be intuitive to navigate. Thanks!

Buggy and redundant but fun!

I really like the daily horoscopes on this app and they are often spot on. However it’s often buggy, showing reveling say despite reloading, sometimes for just one family member (weird!). Also the section that shows how you relate to your family members is so repetitive, just restating the same thing over and over again. Which feels like an AI is regurgitating something. I’ll continue to check the daily horoscopes for fun but hope this app gets better!

Honest Review (TRULY) 🚨

This is one of the BEST astrology apps I’ve ever used, hands down. It is absolutely worth the monthly subscription. The daily horoscopes go into an incredible amount of depth, and the accuracy is mind-blowing. I love that the interpretations also include perspectives for co-parents and children, which makes it feel so much more complete and useful. I genuinely don’t know how the astrologer manages to analyze daily transit charts for all 12 zodiac signs and deliver such deeply insightful, beautifully interpreted guidance every day. This app is on another level. If you’re serious about astrology, this app is a must-have.

Thank you!

I love this app and wow, it’s just so thorough and generous with astrological insight. I love the daily readings and weekly readings. Excellent for understanding your family members more!

Nope

This app is blah-blah nonsense. Unprofessionally written and just weird a lot of times.
Not a voice in your head you want while raising children.

Scam

Do not download this app. It's a scam. Been trying to unsubscribe from them since last week and it won't let me unsubscribe through the app or website.

not working properly

won’t let me put a birth time of 2am? so i can’t get my info

BEST & MOST DETAILED ASTRO APP

I absolutely dreamed up this app and it appeared. It’s both personal and worldly- it’s helped me learn more about myself and my family and help us live better lives together moving through space together! Thank you Jessica (the creator) I adore her daily horoscopes so much!

Not accurate for houses

The houses in the charts are not accurate

App Doesn’t load

The app is great! I absolutely love the content except it never loads! I paid the 10 a month to subscribe so I can get updates and deep dives. But it never gets past the loading screen now 😞 so sadly I had to unsubscribe
