This app used to be excellent and so thoughtful and now it's just mindless AI garbage. I deleted my account and uninstalled.
this app USED to be really cool. now they charge for what used to be free. they used to "go deeper" for free and they only charged if you wanted to read deeper on other people. and the annual was like $50, now its around $90; and remember thats for a lot of info that used to be free. I see no use for the app because they give so little information unless you pay and I'm not willing to pay for what I can google. I also don't feel bad removing my support from a company that has grown greedy
This App does not work! wasted time!!!
Used to love this app. With all the new updates, everything is hard to find and most of the information is behind a paywall now. It seems like 90% of the app is locked unless you buy premium. smh. greedy.
why did you remove your features to see future birthday? Just canceled my subscription. ****Specifically, If I wanted to explore a future child and the the transits of when the child was born, that's the capability I'm referring to. historically I could add a friend with a future birthday and it shared our joint pattern and I could see their potential placements. that's what I'm referring too**
I've used this app since '19. Every six months, the app degrades in quality. The Pattern has lost sight of what made it special and insightful to begin with. The overuse of AI and "spoon-fed" wisdom reeks of capitalism. Where users once found opportunities to reflect, they are now being met with an AI-written text, which speaks in absolutes, as opposed to just saying "you have this pattern present and these are some of the things it might represent", it TELLS you what's "wrong" w/ you.
I used to love & check this app daily until they updated it sometime ago. I just remembered the app and decided to give it another go, but there are now barely any free insights (now $$$). I also HATE that it is all audio based. I understand you can choose to read the insights instead, but it feels so messy and layered now where previously it was clean, simple and easy to navigate. The previous slide versions of "going deeper" were way more digestible and accurate. Wish they didnt change.
This used to be the best astrology app around. Now everything is behind a paywall and they're pushing AI features. I'd be fine with ads if it meant I could still access everything, but I will not be paying you to ruin the environment, especially when you previously weren't ruining anything, and for free.
I requested a refund immediately as I do not believe in this stuff whatsoever, especially when it costs me 112.00.... but no response.
man. even though the descriptions are really vague, this app was 180` off of who I am. It said I was outgoing when I'm kinda shy. Said i don't over think things when I'm an over thinker. It was just way off. don't bother downloading, it's probably just random stuff thrown together.
This app went from something that was incredible to just jumbled garbage. It used to be clean user friendly. Easy to learn. And fun to do with friends. Now it has no direction. Every single thing has been moved around and there is no rhyme or reason to how half the app runs with its posts. Its a complete mess and borderline unusable. Not to mention the audio. Much preferred everything to be text instead of audio clips all the time. Dont fix things that arent broken.
I uninstalled The Pattern app because I was automatically logged out after closing the app and I cannot press the login button. The app was one of my favorite astrology apps for years now but please fix the bug or else, I will never reinstall it.
This began as a great app, but these days they have placed almost everything behind a paywall. You can't even see the basic "Go Deeper" insights, as of this morning, without signing up for a membership. They have created so many layers here lately, its not even beneficial anymore. And the membership rate has risen to ridiculous amounts. Capitalism has destroyed this app.
Unable to even sign up! When I select my birthday, it changes it on the final review page. I've tried many many times and still not working so I'll be deleting the app.
the app is broken and it autoplays on loop even if i terminated the app. fix it
app doesn't work on Android I been trying to log in do forgot password do otp everything, log in failed but I can definitely see it in my old iphone . so disappointing. can't even select birthdates I have to go back month by month to get to my year. some developer probably forgot a code somewhere. really disappointed
Used to be good, now the app won't close when you try and close it. If I click a notification that starts playing audio and try and close the app it just continues to reopen and start playing the audio over and over, have to go into background setting and close it or restart my phone. Starting to become aggravating enough I'm going to delete the app.
This app isn't working: it shows that my girlfriend is a soulmate with some other woman and with me the bond is just powerful, not even legendary.
I used to love this app and tell when I go to impacting me now deeper it does not bring up anything for this date and time. I am told to choose a date or time earlier or later and it still doesn't bring anything up.
When setting up for the first time, I insert the data needed, pick country, pick my date (which is 02.mm.yyyy), and when I get to the review section, the date changes to 01.mm.yyyy, and can't be fixed, LMAO! Thanks for showing me so soon that this app is useless. The 1 and 2 star reviews here are also pretty telling.
Privacy Policy needs more respect for users. You share info with 3rd parties.
I've had this app since 2021. It was once my favorite app & I would recommend it to everyone but now I hate even opening it. Everything of any value is hidden behind a pay-wall & the subscription price is not worth what you get. I used this app every single day & now the only reason I even keep it on my phone is to have quick access to my chart & honestly, I'll just get a different app for that & delete this one entirely. Sad that one of the best astrology apps has become another waste of space.
This used to be my favorite astrology app, but the updates have ruined it. The new app layout is messy and full of really ugly AI graphics. Then they converted the Lens updates into this podcast format that doesn't go into depth nearly as much as before. The final straw for me was the "In-Depth" chatbot. Absolutely not. I'm really disgusted to see them using AI to cut corners. I uninstalled today.
this app has devolved over time. I've watched features go from free to paid. it's becoming a cash cow and the developer has become greedy. greed has its own karmic force which tips the balance.. It feels very AI which is a lazy approach. You can get the paid info free from Chat GPT..
they're using AI now😭😭 are you guys committed to ruining our planet also??
The app effectively unusable. I used to check the pattern daily for YEARS, but it feels like each subsequent update is trying to make it more like quick consumption social media, which isn't what attracted me to the pattern in the first place. Very close to uninstalling and walking away entirely, which is unfortunate. - - - Update: uninstalled. Another app that's turned to AI slop.
welp, I used to love this app. first, they created cost barriers, i still stayed because it was just enough for the free. now, ai has taken over. uninstalling now.
oh great, another app trying to forcibly shove AI down our throats. Because what's more in-tune with astrological events than a nonsense generator fed off of stolen content from ACTUAL humans... bye, Felicia.
This app does not work either.. I hate it because it is so complicated, sorry but the truth is the truth and the truth hurts....
I used to love this app. It was my compass, I used to recommend it to everyone...I met someone i fell in love with so deeply instantly through here. I made life decisions with the timings... and now it's all changed. I can't find people to connect anymore, what a shame you've removed the feature. and I also can't find my timings anymore... it's all so complex and user UNfriendly. sad to uninstall this after 10 years of having it on my phone. this constant total remake keeps getting worse.
was great and now it wont work at all. wont even log me back in. :(
hard to navigate and vague
Used to be an amazing app, I recommended it to everyone. Now, I'm encouraging people to leave. So many features are now behind a paywall or inaccessible audio. Very disappointing changes.
the actual content is great, the app, the experience, and everything else is just terrible. if you will charge that much the interface, experience, & app stability needs to jump ahead light years asap please change the audio voice pace and length. hate hate hate it
I actually used to love this app. However I'm now very disappointed. content that used to be available through free access is now unavailable. i can understand. The need to charge, but we're talking about ALOT of content. More than 50% of what used to be accessible for free is now requiring payment. More than 50 % it's a drastic change. And here's the thing.It's not the only app like this. Not exactly the best choice to have made... Pattern 😑
it used to be great and it became useless if you don't pay for a subscription.
Giving 2 stars coz I was a daily user of this app for years, even got my friends to use it often but the new version they released last year, has been absolutely clutter, nothing of value is displayed without subscription. The app interface has become poorly designed, takes ages to reach the insights only to be told you have to subscribe when you find it. The reviews from other users confirm the same. Uninstalled.
used to be a great app, for months I've been seeing "content isn't available for this date" for any and all dates.. thought it would sort itself out but I'm less optimistic every update.
I'm really sorry to say this because I'm sure it's a lot of work - but... I don't want the audios? I would like to read the material please. making it mandatory frankly makes it so that I don't open the app anymore. I liked it a lot before the audios but this is too much lol the exaggeratedly soothing voice is a lot and really inconvenient in transit if you accidentally tap the notification. can you please make the material available to read?
This app came highly recommended and I was excited about it. But I'm finding disappointment instead. When reading your information, the top of the page is not acceptable and site keeps freezing up.
If trying for the first time, I'm not against it but for users that have been on it before or used it since the pandemic or before 2020, I simply do not recommend. Seems as though everytime there is something that is still free from the old app they find a way to charge for it. Certain information within my chart is inaccurate as well. (my venus is in my 12th not 1st. I have over 5 different sources to prove that.) My prior experience with this app was truly amazing but this new version is BAD.
I absolutely loved this app and have recommended it to everyone I know. I've been using it for years. I cannot stand the chat AI feature and all of the updates. I hate that I now get notifications and it opens the chat right up or audios. So my once favorite app now has notifications disabled and I don't check it as often. Boooooo!
