Tarot Tap is your personal tarot deck — one that gets to know you over time. Ask a question, draw a card, and let Spirit interpret it in the context of your life, your patterns, and your chart. CARD OF THE DAY A daily pull for perspective — small, steady, grounding. Share it or keep it private. YOUR CHART, DECODED Spirit reads your natal chart and weekly transits alongside your cards, so guidance is never generic. It's for you — and only you. ADD YOUR PARTNER'S CHART Bring their chart into your reading and ask Spirit anything about them — the vibe, the timing, what's really going on. CAST A SPELL Set an intention and cast a spell to manifest what you're really after — love, clarity, a new chapter. SPIRIT REMEMBERS Your feelings, patterns, and questions carry across sessions. Readings pick up exactly where you left off. YOUR SOUL CARD Drawn from the major arcana and your astrological chart, then illustrated from your own selfie — a touchstone for your core nature, and how you show up to others on Tarot Tap. COLLECT YOUR CIRCLE'S SOUL CARDS Save friends' Soul Cards and see how your charts play off each other — where you click, where you clash. READ TOGETHER, EFFORTLESSLY Invite friends, pull cards side by side, trade interpretations, and ask Spirit follow-ups together. YOUR ARCHIVE, BEAUTIFULLY KEPT Revisit past readings and trace your patterns across time — especially in love, work, and the questions you keep returning to. Begin with a free trial, then continue with a subscription for unlimited access. Invite five friends for a complimentary month.

Some nights the only question is: why is nothing working for me? Nothing is wrong with you. You're in a phase. Phases turn. Moonwake is a few minutes at the end of the day. Name what is weighing on you, get a frame around it, close the day. ANYTHING ON YOUR MIND That is the question the app opens on. Say it out loud or type it. Your voice is written down as you speak. Then a card answers the words you actually used. You never have to pick a feature. You answer one question, and the night goes from there. 19 TEACHINGS, OVER 200 CARDS The newest and largest part of the app. Short stacks of cards on the things that keep you up, in plain language, a few minutes each. Breaking the Pattern: why you repeat, how to shift How Manifesting Really Works: desire, focus, assumption You're Addicted to Your Own Emotions: the feelings you keep ordering The Art of Letting Go: stop forcing, start flowing The Power of Attention: the one lever you hold Your Brain in Waves: your mind runs at four speeds Who You Really Are: bigger than you think Solfeggio and the Story of Tuning: the real story of 432 and 528 The Moon Cycle: the rhythm worth keeping Ten more inside, on beliefs, energy, healing frequencies, meditation, dreams, chakras, and the laws that keep turning up in every tradition. DREAMS Tell it the dream while it is still there, out loud or typed. Each reading is written fresh for the dream you told it. It also finds the symbols, from a dictionary of 117 that someone sat down and wrote. Every dream is kept with its date, so when the same symbol turns up three times, you see it. THE MOON, MADE USEFUL Tonight's real phase and how much of it is lit. Six areas of life laid over the cycle: Grow, Work, Body, Heart, Clear, Rest. Every night of the month belongs to something, so you always know what tonight is good for. The astronomy and the tradition are kept apart on purpose. Two years of real moons, back and ahead. TAROT All 78 cards with written meanings. Keywords, a full reading, and separate takes on love, career, money and spirit. One card for today, three for past, present and future, or a yes or no where you type the real question. Ask the same question on the same day and you get the same card. Four decks. MEDITATE Binaural sessions through alpha, theta and delta. Two close tones, one in each ear, and the beat is the difference your own head makes between them. Headphones, or it does not happen. It calms the mind. That is all it claims. AFFIRMATIONS 126 lines across seven themes. Write your own and yours lead the deck. Put your own photo behind any card. If you are in real trouble, talk to a professional. Moonwake is the eleven o'clock thing between those conversations. Moonwake is for entertainment. Readings are not a substitute for professional, legal, medical, financial, or psychological advice.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shadow Work at 5.0 against Tarot Tap's 4.6. Tarot Tap's advantage is ratings volume (45 vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tarot Tap sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Shadow Work sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shadow Work holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tarot Tap has 45 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Tarot Tap ships an update fortnightly, Shadow Work every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
