### 2/5 — Agree with Worthless & Sad

*2021-04-19*

I purchased this app 7 years ago and it was always one of my favorite! This new version is so frustrating and disappointing. I have deleted it. PLEASE return to previous version!!!

**Developer response:** Dear alabastermoonstone, thanks for your feedback.
We've decided to develop our app, which includes new and unique features.
We would love to hear your ideas of current version improvements. Please write us support@starwise.app

### 2/5 — New updates

*2021-03-29*

I agree with this statement. I really do like this app but not giving my personal info for my horoscope. I have had this app for many years. However, I don’t really want to give my name, birth place, or current city to get my horoscope. Just too much personal info just to get my horoscope. I’ve always thought this was a great app but this is asking to much. We should be able to enter the information if we want or skip it and go on to our horoscope. I will raise my rating if you can do this. I will give it some time will delete if we can’t get this option. Thank you in advance.

**Developer response:** Dear Peach11111, thanks for your feedback.
We're asking for a non-personalised information, like city of birth, time and date - this information is vital to build personalised horoscopes and transits.

### 2/5 — Rooster yearly not working

*2020-06-27, version 3.2.1*

What happened to the yearly broadcast for the rooster sign?! It doesn’t open

### 4/5 — Huh?

*2020-06-07, version 3.2.1*

Very frustrated that I can get current Chinese astrology reading, but not the regular western one until about 5pm on any given day.

### 4/5 — Best horoscope app

*2020-05-31*

This is the best horoscope app out there. I’ve been using it for years. I do wish you could see tomorrow’s horoscope but that feature was taken away recently.

### 4/5 — Review

*2020-03-24, version 3.2.1*

Interesting and Insightful reading

### 3/5 — Missing sections. No CNY Chinese Horoscope

*2020-02-09, version 3.2.1*

Don’t know if it’s just me but the Yesrly forecast for Chinese horoscopes Dragon, Rat and Dog are missing.

### 3/5 — Chinese Yearly 2020

*2020-01-28*

What’s taking so long to add this? January is almost over! Hurry up and ad Chinese 2020 yearly!

### 3/5 — Review

*2019-08-22, version 3.2.1*

This app is good if you can humour what is predicted. If you have an open mind, some of it could help you see life in a different way, that you have exhausted all avenues you can possibly think of as your own original thoughts, and so are willing to accept what you cannot fathom originally without wasting time.  Or by putting faith unto the stars, and letting them direct by your beliefs, creates an easier avenue of acceptance. Indirect direction. Make of it what you will. But if you are in need, it’s a good place to start.

### 4/5 — Pretty Accurate

*2019-04-11*

It’s been two days of playing with this App. Thus far navigation is simple, format is mailable, and Most Importantly the information program provided has been spot on!  Looking forward to learning and understanding a bit more about myself and others. Worthy purchase.

### 4/5 — Horoscope fun

*2018-09-23, version 3.2.1*

Entertaining reading

### 4/5 — parasol

*2018-09-20, version 3.2.1*

Amazing,I love it

### 1/5 — Recycled horoscopes

*2018-08-13*

It’s summer and I was advised to stay cozy and avoid winters doldrums. Today is August 13, got a whole plan for how to spend my Valentine’s Day. And they get paid for the app!! Fraud when you can’t even produce believable “astrology” lol

### 1/5 — Not so great anymore

*2021-08-05*

I haven’t done the latest update but I’ve noticed that there are many days that there is only one horoscope listed and the other topics are left blank. Some days when I click the app to read my horoscope the app will open quickly then shut down.

### 1/5 — Why update?

*2021-02-07*

I paid to upgrade to pro for no ads and no more in app purchases, and now they updated it and made it different and there are more in app purchases. I am disappointed and nothing was wrong with the original pro app.

### 1/5 — You destroyed this app

*2021-01-07*

I really liked this app.  I read it pretty much every day and thoroughly enjoyed it.  But the update has completely ruined it.  The app no longer functions well and it is complete garbage.  It is so bad I actually deleted it.  I’m sooo disappointed.  Thanks for ruining a good thing.  If I could have given it zero stars I would have.

### 1/5 — Worthless and sad

*2021-01-04*

The new update threw the entire app away. It used to be my favourite app, I consulted it daily but now I am deleting it. I wish that I could rollback this newest update and get any other version back, even the oldest version, because this shouldn’t have been an update. It should have been released as a completely different app.
It doesn’t have the same daily/monthly/yearly horoscopes, and they have completely removed the Chinese zodiac to try to sell some worthless map thing?
Also the new look is nauseating.
As a busy person who didn’t want to play with all of the other toy zodiac apps that had genies or crystal balls, but instead just wanted a simple and beautiful app to quickly check my horoscope, I am devastated.

Don’t waste your time or money. Get the lite version, it is still like the original version, but unfortunately without Chinese as well. :(
Time to start looking for an alternative to hopefully somewhat replace what this app once was; straightforward, accurate and reliable. Now it is just pointless nonsense.

### 1/5 — Fail

*2020-12-31, version 3.2.3*

Not sure why after paying for this app years ago, I now have to subscribe to get all the features. 
I paid for full access for life. This shouldn’t change because you’ve updated the app!
It’s also lost numerous features - where are the monthly horoscopes? The Chinese zodiac? The compatibility readings? These features set this app apart from others, now it is quite generic.

### 1/5 — Complete rubbish - and doesn’t work in different time ones

*2020-04-10, version 3.2.1*

The app doesn’t work in different time zones so for much of the world it only lets you see yesterday’s horoscope. The monthly one doesn’t work at all, just has a title and nothing else, as did the weekly one some weeks, and again always let’s. A waste of time

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-03-01, version 3.2.1*

Crashes way too much! Used to be my favorite! Fix your mess!!

### 1/5 — Yearly 2020 horoscope missing for snake

*2020-01-28, version 3.2.1*

This has not been fixed yet

### 1/5 — I mean

*2018-09-18, version 3.2.1*

I typically enjoy it, but it’s refusing to work right now. Will change if it works again

### 1/5 — WARNING ⚠️

*2018-09-17, version 3.2.1*

I went to contact support directly from the App Store… the link given here! And I got a message saying,
 “This connection may not be private. This website may be impersonating buzlylabs.com to steal your personal or financial information. You should close this page.“ Seriously. And right now the app just will not load. Hasn’t loaded in a couple days. I guess my future is over. 🙄 
BUT SERIOUSLY... KEEP IN MIND!...
This App ask for your birthday, birthplace, let’s just say, enough personal  information that if it is indeed nefarious… they could cause identity problems? 
I am now wondering if this app may be what is wrong with my phone overall? I’ve been having problems since I downloaded this app recently—with everything but the app until the other day. Now it just won’t load.
And this whole thing really stinks… Because it was a fun app!

### 5/5 — Interesting app

*2024-03-03*

The free version of the app is good and easy to use.  The idea of setting the daily alarm according to my astrological sign sounds interesting to me.  But, as it stands.  I can’t afford to pay any kind of subscription, due to the fact that I’m Blind and disabled, and on a fixed income. It would be awesome if the full app was free for those of us who just can’t afford to pay a subscription. Anyway, keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — West Brom Gallis

*2020-12-22, version 3.2.1*

Love this particular app... gives me guidance on specific areas of my live including career and love life. I like the fact that there is different advice for singles & couples when it comes to love.
Gives me the choice of reading my Chinese horoscope as well and both readings give the option of daily, weekly and a long term forecast.
This app is much better than the one I used previously and I also like the colours and it’s layout.

### 5/5 — Lovely

*2019-07-19, version 3.2.1*

It’s a lovely app 😎

### 5/5 — Not the same

*2019-07-02*

I’m surprised that the daily info for my horoscope does not match on my iPhone and iPad.  They have different messages.  Otherwise I really like the app.

### 5/5 — Simple and accurate

*2019-03-30*

I read my horoscope at the beginning of most days, weeks and months and find it very interesting and decisive. I’ve tried a few others but always seem to come back to this one.  It explains things very clearly and without too much astrological double talk. I don’t live my life by its predictions but it’s Fairly accurate.

### 5/5 — Good

*2018-12-23, version 3.2.1*

Good app, would be great if it updated to the correct date.

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2018-11-25*

It hits the nail on the head most of the time.

### 5/5 — Love the accuracy

*2018-07-14, version 3.2.1*

Great app. Good to have an insight of possible outcomes

### 5/5 — Fun App

*2018-05-22, version 3.2.1*

Enjoy reading my daily and weekly horoscope. Inspires me every day.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2018-04-09*

Awesome horoscope application;  highly recommended to other looking for a superior application.
