Description
ACCORDING TO APPREVIEW.COM:
"Tarot is the best of the tarot apps. There are lots of different readings styles, as well as a "spin" cycle which moves the cards really fast then tap to stop it. The cards are then shown and a meaning, if necessary, is given. While no iPhone app will replace an actual deck, this app can please both the curious and seasoned Tarot readers." Tarot also received their "best" rating.

Customer Reviews
Misleading description... heres why and what to expect.
There are (2) types of readings for this application. a "guided reading" and a "open-ended reading"
The guided reading asks you to think about a topic, such as Love, Work, etc.
Example: "Will I get that dream job?"
Then you are shown 3 cards which represent Past/Present/Future corresponding to your question.
You will only be able to click on them in this order: Present/Past/Future
And it will just show you the image of the Tarot card. If you want information on what you picked you will get
a general meaning by clicking on the info button along the top of your ipod.
After you run through the Present/Past/Future positions, (in that order)
you will be asked if you want to show more cards.
If you click to show more cards, you will be shown a card for "Opportunity" and a "Summary" card.
Ok, fairly basic and that can work for anyone.
***The Misleading information comes from the description of this applications "Open-ended readings"
if you are like me and have a working knowledge of the tarot, various spreads, etc
you might think this is the Tarot software you've been waiting for. One that you might be able to
actually use for people if you are out and happen to have your ipod but not your deck of tarot cards.
Wrong. well... sorta
sure, you can use it, but not in the way you are accustomed to.
heres why :
In the open ended reading, you will see all of the 78 Raider Waite tarot cards as small thumbnails,
digitally shown before your eyes. I had thought that you could select say, 10 cards that you could arrange
in a spread of your likeing but i was wrong.
You can click on any card to be shown an enlarged image and basic programmed meanings for each card
but you can NOT arrange them as you might using your actual decks.
You can hit a "spin" button and watch all 78 cards fly by the screen as though you are playing on a slot machine
click on one image and wait to see what image your finger landed on which will enlarge that image and allow you to
see the info again.
Personally i think this is a waste of money, even if it is just $1.99
if you are looking for a portable tarot deck in digital form, unfortunately this is not it
and it does not allow you the freedom to create a spread.
but if you aren't a tarot reader, you may find this a cute and subtle way to be exposed to
card readings without spending the time to develope your own natural gift of intuition...
buyer beware!
It keeps crashing in the middle of a reading
Somewhat annoying to use because it crashes when you are reading the meaning of the cards. Needs work.
This app
Crashes every time I use it.
