PersonalCode

Read full description

PersonalCode is a free app for anyone who wants to keep the people in their life in mind. No more forgotten birthdays. And a chance to understand your loved ones a little better. The tool behind this is numerology and classical zodiac signs. Date of birth and name, combined through centuries-old calculation rules, become a personal number that says something about what someone is inwardly oriented toward. Plus Western and Chinese zodiac signs with elements and character traits. Not a newspaper horoscope, more of an invitation to look a little closer. YOUR PEOPLE Add the people who matter to you. From your address book or by hand. PersonalCode reminds you of every birthday, years in advance. With photo, notes and a relationship label. FOR EACH PERSON YOU SEE Life path number, Western and Chinese zodiac, compatibility between the two of you. That is how you might understand, for instance, why a 5 thrives on change while a 4 prefers stability. FOR YOURSELF Your own life path number, expression number, heart's desire and personality. Plus your personal year and the daily energy that is in the air right now. PRIVACY, HONESTLY MEANT No tracking. No ads. No in-app purchases. All data about your people stays on your device unless you actively turn on cloud sync. Servers in Germany, GDPR compliant. Delete your account anytime, right from within the app. IF YOU ARE A PERSONALCODE.DE CUSTOMER Then the app also becomes your reading room. Analyses and books you have ordered there open here in the reader. Audiobooks keep playing in the background while you are out, with lock-screen controls. And every morning your personal daily impulse waits on the home screen, tuned to your numerology. PersonalCode is free, and will stay free. Analyses and books you order, if you want, at personalcode.de.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PersonalCode at none against Oups's 14. PersonalCode also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months). Oups's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
