The Metropolis is Muse in The Urban Tarot. This Tarot homage to New York City unveils the glitter and the grit of the Big Apple. Realistic New Yorkers carry the Tarot roles, and aptly chosen New York landmarks provide the scenery in this deck. Illustrator and designer Robin Scott used photographs as springboards for her vivid, dynamic, and thoroughly modern cards. An impressive achievement, this deck reads like an occultist’s dream. Gently influenced by Thoth, with an emphasis on the four elements, The Urban Tarot illuminates both the beauty and the squalor of America’s largest city. *Intuitive, elegant interface is easy for beginners and experts *Gorgeous full screen, high-resolution card images *Full support for iOS 9 and all iOS devices, including the iPhone 6s *Sophisticated journal *Includes full and unabridged book *18 spreads built in *Design your own layout with Free Form *Allow reversed cards or not *Option to use Major Arcana only *Zoom in to enlarge card details *Share reading via Facebook, email, and Twitter *Animated shuffle & cut *Optional voice prompts *Customize with your own card meanings & reading cloths *Many adjustable settings *Introduction and card meanings available in English only Reveal the soul of New York City with The Urban Tarot! ## Key features - New York City-themed Tarot deck - Intuitive interface for all levels - High-resolution card images - Sophisticated journal for readings - 18 built-in spreads - Customizable readings - Share readings via social media ## Recent user reviews (10 of 13) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/urban-tarot/id1057287191/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Broken free form spread *2024-08-02* Incorrectly placed buttons, slightly off the edge of the screen. Cards can’t be drawn easily due to the task switcher gestures at the bottom of the screen. I contacted them about this a long time ago to no change. Apparently an abandoned application, along with all their others. Save your money, find a different company’s tarot application. ### 2/5 — Glad to have the app, but... *2021-06-02* I like having access to The Urban Tarot deck book on my phone, but this app has problems. The app is not functioning well, the buttons to access the cards are placed improperly, it does not allow for easy access, you will often touch and open the wrong information. Card reversal/interpretation is not available (the hard copy book does not have this info either). Wishing for an update, but it seems this app is not supported. ### 5/5 — EXCELLENT tarot app *2019-08-02* I used to use Golden Thread but this app is basically better in every way. (I like the deck better too but that’s more of a personal thing.) Each card’s description is beautifully and thoughtfully written, and the app itself is easy and intuitive to navigate. You can do single card draws and larger spreads, and you can make notes on it as you go — very easy to switch between the image, the description, the whole spread, and your thoughts. Honestly all I could ask for. I got it because the deck wasn’t in print, and honestly I’m glad it wasn’t because now I have both. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2019-06-30* I love this so much - the artwork and concepts are wonderful. ### 5/5 — Great deck *2018-07-10* Amazing deck and card descriptions. I wish I could buy the physical deck as well. ### 1/5 — Loved Fools Dog Until... *2018-01-22* 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. :-/ ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-08-09* The cards are beautiful, haunting, disturbing, breathtaking, complex, riveting to look at (so much so, in fact, that I also purchased a set of the cards), and I love that you not only get the meaning of the cards, but background information on the image as well. ### 5/5 — Amazing Deck & App (especially for urban readers) *2017-04-18* Can't say enough about this deck. The interpretations are novel and unique and are full of the life and lore of New York City. The deck was created by a NYC native & graphic designer and is filled with beautiful imagery and interesting reinterpretations of the cards. Another great deck from Fool's Dog. ### 5/5 — I love this deck and this app *2016-09-12* If you love cities and NYC in particular this is the deck for you! The images are stunning and bring a new insight to my reading of the cards. This app is amazing. It is perfect for daily draws, playing with several different decks and having with you to do an unexpected reading. It's easy to use and is good for learning and practice as well as reading for others. Love it! Mia Vitale ### 3/5 — Nice, but not the deck for me *2016-03-04* It's well-done, but to me, doesn't feel like NYC as much as I'd hoped. Wish there were more diversity in the people depicted. Finally, I was not prepared for the image of the burning WTC. Will try to return. ## Frequently asked questions about Urban Tarot ### What is Urban Tarot?
