I like this app, please fix and I'll regurn your stars! ### 3/5 — Needs updating *2015-05-18, version 3.2* The sabbats used to be updated, but this years hasn't. Think the developer has given up with this app. ### 4/5 — I paid for this App....... *2015-03-18, version 3.2* When I downloaded, I thought it was a Free App until my entire Acct. Froze for owing ITUNES money apparently as it downloaded this App with insufficient funds in my acct. Forcing me to have to get out to buy another card or not be able to update any other Apps or download anything-I find that strange & wonder why they don't just deny the purchase as I was confused. Not sure what I paid but I think $1 & it was worth it if so, I only wish it had more information-detailed for beginners & was updated more frequently. For example-info on working with crystals & which work best with your zodiac sign & which ones work best together & with what other items-essential oils or amulets?i've spent months searching the internet & Apps for all this info but really need it in one place like this. Also, I am worried about using a Spell as I am not looking to invite anything negative to myself or my home or anyone. I wouldn't use a spell to hurt anyone but I do have some issues where people have been trying to hurt me-by causing me stress-harassment-trying to gain financially due to my hardships & by their lies & harassment of my friends. I would like to be able to protect myself & my home & my finances, possessions & of course my loved ones & friends from people like this-particular person as well as protect myself & the same above from someone who may be dabbling in dark magic & trying to send negative things my way-yet I just want to know the simplest way I can protect myself & mine from these people & acts without using anything dark & without wishing them harm-I am sure they will receive their own karma from what they choose to do-especially when intentionally trying to hurt a person when they are down & trying to steal from them & knowing they are ill & the stress they are causing is only causing more difficulties for my life-emotional & physical health & relationships(person sent police to my friends house having no justifiable cause for police action but of course this EMBARASSED my friend-& he must've done this to cause friction for me & its like he went out of his way to harass me & antagonize me-calling my phone from 100different#'s(using an App probably) tying up my emergency cell all day & night that I had to just turn it off & he somehow followed me-tracked me-which was creepy in itself as We share no mutual friends but he took advantage of my kindness during the9months he rented a room downstairs in the huge house I was renting-He caused me so much anxiety I just want to be over with his kind&he is still trying 2scam me-How do I protect against this sort& not bring any bad to myself or wish him any bad-just to leave me alone-for his true colors to be seen & for him to have to repay for all the harm & damages he made me incur. Also-I need more info on amulets-I have a Mohammadian Protection Amulet with frogs & symbols-I'd love more details on it-Same for my white 'O' stone magical wishing bead Obsidion stone necklace-as after buying I can't find any as pure white as I received & wonder if mine is true.I have a Goddess amulet hands upwards holding the Moon-It's supposed to be powerful yet I can't find info on it or how & when to wear it-I wore it a bit & didn't feel well during that time.I have a Star Amulet-A Wiccan symbol I am told with 5 corners representing Good & a green stone in middle & I wore it did a while until I started to get bad energy-I used white sage & the Full Moon to purify these items-recharge them & renew their good energy(also my Rose Quartz bracelet & Amethyst Pendulum& hematite for focusing & clear quartz & moonstone & some Pink Jade & Citrine & Onyx&I had2-3bracelets meant for good luck-unexpected miracles-good health& more-they broke rather quickly-one had Lotus Flower Seeds which kept cracking off & others which had various gems-healing crystals just broke or got lost-I understand these crystals work & absorb negative energies & help me with positive ones but then they are full of that absorbed negativity & THATS why I got white Sage smudge sticks & Sage oil & clary Sage oil to cleanse them & recharge them & I thought the full moon did this too. I even have a Himalayan pink salt rock lamp I laid them on when they were feeling in need of replenishing-does this help at all? Personally I felt all kinds of negativity in February mostly so I started taking some baths using Salts & Oils & Magnesium Calm Detox Soaks & more & using aromatherapy more & herbal teas & supplements like Ashwagandha & brainwave entrainment meditation & affirmations & hypnosis. I just wish this App could direct a newbie like me better-please advise how I know when a crystal of gem is working AGSINST me is it possible as it seemed with my hematite & how to make it work for me? How often can I Sage when its cold out I can't open all windows to do house so I do in bathroom but I did myself in backyard & my hair caught fire & then I stopped candlewax that night on furniture & broke something-it felt worse than before-I feel better now-The luck O the Irish but please add more basic info for beginners-Based on what I read-I bought a small Chalice with the Star Wiccan symbol-various crystals & oils & available herbs-many are hard to find do please help me work with more widely available items too-Also how does Chrysanthemum flower or plant help In the house or in a tea? Any other good flowers or plants to grow inside or around house? How do I best keep my home full of harmony love positive energy & keep negativity from my mind & from my thoughts & from creeping in during my low times. I would love to include prayers to my Guardian Angels & The Archangels as well-I believe in many good protectors-I Like Angels Butterflies coloring abstract art music & more pretty things. I bought the Amulets mentioned above after reading about this & for protection against harm & also the crystals & bracelets for healing powers & positive energies & aroma therapies for harmony happiness peace prosperity bliss ### 4/5 — This is a great app *2015-03-05* This app is excellent for rituals and spells it has all you need to know. I am a Wiccan and this app tells you everything from the basics like casting a circle and setting up an altar to different herbs and properties. They could add a few more things though like where to get certain pieces of equipment from but otherwise brilliant:) ### 5/5 — Spellbook *2014-11-04, version 3.2* All in one spot & on the go! Love the art/design. Overall, I can't do without this app! ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2014-10-06, version 3.2* This app has everything you need in one place. Very nice app! ### 5/5 — Nice app *2014-10-04, version 3.2* Plenty of informations on the app. Loads of nice detail. ### 5/5 — Magnificent! *2014-09-21, version 3.2* A crown of an app, I thoroughly read this amazing book day and night, worth it!! ### 4/5 — Very Kool App *2014-07-18, version 3.1* Informative with many spells to choose from. Disruptions about stones, herbs, oils ect. with pictures as well. Spell ingredients aren't too complicated to obtain in order to execute a successful spell and much more. ### 5/5 — Wiccan/Otarian Magick *2014-07-06, version 3.1* Dobby, this is brilliant... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Best spell book around. *2016-11-08* Amazingly wonderful all the spells I need are right here. Brilliant to add to my BOS. Highly recommend this to every witch out there ### 1/5 — Nope *2016-05-17, version 3.4* Does not work fuk.ing retarted ### 1/5 — App Crashes *2015-08-12, version 3.3* I bought the App, but I have not been able to open yet. It crashes every time I try. I contacted customer support, but I have not found a solution yet. ### 1/5 — App Crashes? *2015-08-04, version 3.3* It might just be because my power is low, but the app keeps crashing when I try to open it. ### 1/5 — -.- *2014-03-09, version 2.8* When I first got the app it worked fine it wasn't the best but it wasn't bad but after I updated the app crashes every time I try to do anything. It's very frustrating don't recommend until its fixed ### 2/5 — App crash *2015-10-26, version 3.3* Pretty unhappy that the app immediately crashes. I paid for it, and would like to use it. It was one of my favorites until I upgraded it. Then it started crashing immediately upon opening. Hope it gets fixed soon. ### 2/5 — Not great *2014-03-13, version 2.8* I can't read anything, every time I try to the app closes. ### 2/5 — Current version *2014-03-12, version 2.8* Was a good app previously, wish it had a list of symbols though. Some spells to get started with until one is more comfortable making their own. Latest version though crashes. It's completely useless. Sad day for me. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2026-03-14* The list of herbs and oils are lacking could be updated with more. Herbal magic is a good app for herbs. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback — it’s really helpful. We are working on the next update, we’re adding expanded lists of herbs and oils: a larger set of ingredients in the spell composer (grouped by category like Protection, Love, Prosperity, and Essential Oils), plus new herb entries with meanings and uses and new oil recipes in Witchcraft Basics and Oil Recipes. We’re also bringing Daily Anchor (Spell of the Day, Tarot Card of the Day, Rune of the Day), Moon Oracle, Wheel of the Year, Practice with readings and ritual tools, Journal, and Casting Calendar. We hope you’ll enjoy these changes in the next release. ### 3/5 — It’s “okay” *2019-12-07* English and writing is spotty at best. It does not provide a great overview of ALL magick. Good starter app, though. Also, I do wish it delved into the theory behind magick as well. Maybe a more detailed layout and something to help newbies “build” a spell. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Guidebook You Need on Your Smartphone *2022-10-03* It is loaded with a ton of useful information that you need. (I assume that you’re thinking about getting this app because you “need” something). It is more on the Wicca side, but if you don’t mind White Magick, I highly recommend! Also, it works without internet access (what a rare find these days!). I think you should get this app if you long to learn and grow. ### 5/5 — I love it !!!!!!!!❤️❤️ *2019-03-19* This app is sensational, it has a vast set of spells and information about stuff ( haha love that ) I’m a teen witch , I’ve been doing this stuff for 4 Years , and I only recently got the app and so far it’s outstanding , so I recommend beginners to download this app , it’s a good way for them to start spell craft ✌️✌️👍🔯☪️☮️💟 ### 5/5 — AMAZING *2017-03-13, version 3.4* When you are unable to get a spell book, download this app! I honestly love it. You can tell that it was made by very experienced witches who know their stuff. As a beginner, this is very good. ### 5/5 — Such a helpful app *2016-10-30* It's a fun and great resource for quick answers and helpful information. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2016-09-08* I love this app, very useful and I agree the best app available. Thank you Lazy Yards ### 5/5 — Complete crash *2016-02-21, version 3.4* The lite version works no problem but for some unknown reason my poor iPod 4 is unable to keep this full version running. Help, please? I loved this app when I could use it. ### 5/5 — Best Magick App Available *2015-12-13* This app is amazing and packed with information from referencing stones and oils to candle colours and spells. Plus it's free and better than any paid for alternative I have seen. ### 5/5 — Amazing app, Love it! *2015-07-01, version 3.2* I love this app, it has so much information, and it is all so well organized. It is my go-to app wen searching for new spells, because it has so many. I haven't run into any glitches, and the information is accurate and wry helpful. I love this app, its so amazing. ### 5/5 — Wow *2015-03-15, version 2.0* This app is the most info ive found in one place. Info is all available ofline aswell. A black version would be interesting and scary. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2014-11-24, version 3.2* Awesome BOD A must for any witch --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
