“For years, this was the best app of its kind. After they created the new paywall with audio readings, everything went downhill. I don't mind paying but I don't think the quality is where it used to be. I also don't always feel like…”

About this app
Created to help you feel seen and understood. A homegrown labor of love, The Pattern was born out of our founder’s personal journey of self-discovery. While trying to make sense of a challenging time, she recognized what an incredibly empowering tool our birth charts can be and sought to develop an application that could offer this information in a way that was easily digestible for all. Offering a psychological blueprint of one’s self and insight into the unique things they may be experiencing during a period of time, The Pattern acts as a mirror, helping you to better understand yourself and others, enabling connections to be made on a much deeper level. As featured in Vanity Fair, Time, TechCrunch, Vogue, Bustle, Mashable, Harper’s Bazaar, among others. For answers to commonly asked questions, please visit:

Independent evidence report
Evidence and review signals
This is where the page changes from an app-store listing into an evidence report: findings, important reviews, pricing and a dated history.
Which version this describes
When we ran this analysis, and what the store lists now.
This analysis describes version 5.42.0 of the app, analyzed 2026-10-04 . The app may have changed since.
The store currently lists version 5.42.0, updated 2026-09-15.
What we measured
Each line is a measurement published as a measurement, never a verdict.
Each line is a measurement, published as a measurement. Where we have not looked, the line says so rather than reading as a zero.
Developer replies to reviews
Replies to at least 1 review in 20
Price in the store description
States a price and a billing period
Cancelling, in the store description
Does not say how to cancel
Themes reported by reviewers
1 theme reported
Counted from the reviews we have read for this app. "No theme reported" means no theme reached our reporting threshold — it is not a finding that nothing is wrong with this app, and we do not say it is.
Five-star share of ratings
65–79% five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence about the app, not a finding about it.
Graded bands · predicate set 1.4 · how these are measured
What the analysis found
App-specific findings, grouped by what each one rests on. How they are graded lives on its own page.
Positive evidence 1
Things this app does right, published at the same strengths as the catch list.
Developer says data deletion can be requested
The developer's data-safety disclosure on the store states that users can request deletion of their data, or the app's own text offers a way to delete the account. This restates what the developer declares; it is not a test of whether deletion works. Apple publishes no equivalent disclosure, so on an Apple-only listing only the app's own text can support it.
What we saw: The developer's store data-safety disclosure states that data deletion can be requested; we have not seen a deletion control in the app's own text
One source only — shown, not confirmed 1
A single kind of evidence. We publish these because withholding them would be the bigger distortion, and we do not treat any of them as a finding we stand behind.
Reported by users: Paywall blocks the basics
The core of the app — not extras — sits behind payment, or previously-free function moved behind a paywall.
What we saw: Paywall blocks the basics: raised by 16 distinct reviewers (3.9% of 406 reviews scanned)
Highlighted reviews
Representative public review excerpts shown as user reports, not Appworthy audit evidence.
“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…”
“has always been pretty accurate and I've always loved the detail it goes into without putting your traits into rigid boxes. I understand the increase in subscription content but I really miss the old format of the app I feel like it looks…”
