### 5/5 — Love Steampunk

*2019-10-12*

I've been reading tarot decks since 2001. I've been using this app since it came out. 
I see no difference between a physical deck in hand and this app. Two thumbs up.

### 5/5 — Great deck

*2018-07-10, version 2.1.2*

I’m the ringmaster love it

### 5/5 — Full steam ahead!

*2018-04-22, version 2.1.2*

Clever and amazingly spot-on adjunct to my beloved physical Steampunk Tarot deck.  Love the Daily Card and Journal features.  Lots of fun!

### 5/5 — Great deck

*2018-03-27*

I love the graphics and the perspective the card descriptions offer. I recommend this set of cards.

### 5/5 — Very well written and thorough

*2017-11-25, version 2.0.2*

BEST. DECK. EVER.

One reviewer, quite ironically, left a wordy review about how the book is "too wordy."
Not so. The descriptions are meant to be part of the reading. To show the querant what's going on behind the scenes.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2017-09-23*

I have the physical Steampunk Tarot deck and I love it. When I saw there was an app version, I wanted it, too. It’s great to have a copy of the companion book on my phone so I don't have to carry it with me in addition to the cards. And I can do a reading or study the cards on the fly. 

The app is super easy to use. There is a good variety of it spreads and cloths. While I like some of the cards a little better than others, there are no cards that I don’t like. The cards are fantastic and also good representations of the meanings. 

The journaling is great for keeping track of your readings and I really like that you can email them. And being able to enter an outside reading is a great feature. 

I’m new to tarot, but my readings have been insightful and helpful. Having a wider knowledge of tarot in general would help you get a more exact reading, but this deck is RWS based and a great place to start. 

I liked this app so much I also got the Tarot of Trees and the Zircus Magi apps and will definitely be getting the Tarot of Trees physical deck. I highly recommend any of The Fool’s Dog apps for ease of use and insight.

### 5/5 — The first deck I had and loved it!

*2017-09-06, version 2.0.2*

This deck offers great card illustrations that depict well what the cards should mean. The written descriptions are nicely done too.

### 5/5 — Devine ,,!,,

*2017-08-04*

Friend and guide .. this app has certainly guided me with of Devine messages at right point of time . Thanks

### 5/5 — A friend gifted me the steam punk Tarot deck

*2017-07-04*

I wanted to learn more about reading tarot and looked for an app to my surprise some company had made an app with the steam punk tarot theme. Luckily the writers were more to the point with the card interpretations the book that came with the physical tarot cards went on and on about the people and artwork on the cards and was full of nothing but a Wind bag writer. So thankful to have the app I still love the physical cards they are great for parties and ice breakers the artwork is beautiful and thanks to the creator of the deck. I suggest someone help the creator of the physical deck edit the book for future updates they could add a Victorian flair without being so wordy and sticking with more direct interpretation of the cards. I felt I had to reference other sources to learn about the cards and their meanings and this app was perfect. It also helped me learn different spreads.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2017-07-02, version 2.0.2*

I also own the physical deck and book. It's a wonderful deck. I believe the readings are very accurate too!

### 5/5 — Love these cards!

*2017-06-18*

Have many tarot cards. This is a beautiful deck. This program is really good. Easy to use. Not awkward to use.
The depictions on each card are so crisp and clear to see. The interruptions are direct and to the point.

### 5/5 — On point readings

*2017-06-13*

I am actually surprised how accurate these readings are. They seem to be reading me and my life. I've been searching for a good deck to read from and these are worth it. Truly do love them

### 5/5 — Spot On!

*2017-05-21*

I was skeptical at first that the app would be accurate in the readings. A dear friend convinced me that, YES!, the readings are great. So far they've been so spot on, it's as good as having the actual deck in your hands!! Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2017-05-12*

Love the deck and love the app 💕

### 5/5 — Favourite

*2017-04-06*

One of my favourite decks; actually was my very first tarot deck. Was glad to see it in a more portable app version, so I don't always have to trudge my beautiful cards around & risk them being ruined. It's funny, because I would've expected to have a different feel with the app, being like they're 2 literally different decks, but it's as if the energy of my physical deck transferred to the app as well! :) Over all, I enjoy the app; the various spreads it offers are quite neat. & the different ways to customize are a nice touch! The app is great, & the deck is beautiful.

### 1/5 — no longer works

*2018-03-02*

UPDATE: The app no longer works. I updated some of the other apps from the same company, BUT this app now crashes when I tap "Journal" - so it is now down from Five stars to One. Can't use it.
---------------
I already had this book and deck, and wouldn't ordinarily pay twice for the same product, but I made an exception for this!

Aly Fell's images are so compelling. I buy decks for the art, so this was important to me.

### 1/5 — Loved Fools Dog Until...

*2018-01-22, version 2.0.2*

The journal function no longer works for any of my Fools Dog apps. I have over 10 of your apps, so over 10x the disappointment. Not buying any more of your apps. :-/

### 3/5 — Needs some help

*2024-09-19*

I was not able to shuffle the cards. Only had access to spreads options and could only pull one card at a time. I deleted the app because of it. 👎👎

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2018-03-14, version 2.1.2*

Beautiful deck and insightful descriptions. Only wish they’d touch on what reversed cards mean. That would be like icing on a cool cake! :)

### 4/5 — I love this tarot but...

*2017-04-21*

I too like a fellow reviewer have the app as well as the actual deck. Sometimes I use them together. My only niggle is that on my iPhone I can choose the cards from the spread but on the iPad where there's more room I take them from the pile. It would be better the other way.

### 4/5 — Lovely, with just one lack

*2017-03-18*

These cards are really wonderful; imaginative, beautifully drawn, and with the needed pointer to the explanations. Just one thing: I wish these explanations were complete in that they included the meanings when cards are reversed. I know many folks use different layouts without reversed cards, but I like the additional subtlety it can give. 

So folks, how about adding that minor tweak and having universal five-star reviews? 😊

### 4/5 — J'adore ce deck il est précis et distinct. J'aimerai une mise à niveau francophone

### 5/5 — I love it!!

*2025-09-23, version 2.1.6*

I love Steampunk Tarot! It’s my goto for my reading. I love journaling. The cards a always spot on.

### 5/5 — Above the rest

*2025-04-22*

I’ve used this app for many years and find it insightful and beautiful.  I have the physical deck and was so pleased when I found this.  I love the journal feature so I can look back at readings from years past to see if the future was correct/close or if I see things more clearly than at the time.

### 5/5 — A beautiful deck

*2023-05-15*

A beautiful deck, very ably translated into an app. Good selection of readings, useful journal and sharing functionality, and clear text. My favourite digital oracle/self-reflection tool. Thanks. 🙏🌝

### 5/5 — My favorite deck by far

*2023-03-18*

The feminine spin on the cards and the fascinating way the author captures the essence of the cards. They’ve given me a new perspective of reading.

### 5/5 — I can’t imagine a better tarot app

*2021-01-13*

The deck is beautiful.  Barbara Moore’s interpretations are accessible, insightful and inspired.  The app itself has exceptional functionality.  Just a great little oracle to have at your fingertips!

### 5/5 — The best

*2020-12-10*

Realizing the Tarot does not deal in absolutes, I have to comment that this app is absolutely the best in the field.  It’s user-friendly, intuitive, multi dimensional, artistically conceived, and presents a scope of elements lacking in other applications. In short, I love it!

### 5/5 — Daily Meditation

*2020-08-21*

I adore this app. I draw a card every morning as part of a meditative exercise and it’s been such a lovely experience. The art and the full breakdown of the the card is so thoughtful it really gives me the chance to reflect and the language to understand how to look inward. And the functionality of the app overall is just great and user friendly.

### 5/5 — I live this app, like all fools tarot

*2019-12-15*

I really love this apps creativity and content, it focuses on issues maturely with out the heavy worrisome thoughts and ideas that go into certain tarot card, explaining the difficult ones in a new light.

### 5/5 — Absolutely Fabulous

*2019-10-22*

I purchased the actual deck and book several months ago. This app has been awesome for learning on the go; as the book that came with the deck is the exact book in the app; it makes it perfect for learning on the go!
