myAstro Lite: YOU SUCK!

myastrolite_hdr

A few days ago I said that I liked iScopes, but it left something to be desired, and I promised to review another free astrology app.

The day has finally come. Yesterday I downloaded myAstro Lite by iPaguri. When I opened the app, it looked promising, asking for my personal, specific birthday down to the year. I thought “Oh, this one is going to give a full reading based on birthday! w00t!”

The brevity of the reading makes it feel even more shot-in-the-dark than a normal horoscope.

Once your birthday is locked in the app takes you to a screen with your sign and a reading that is one paragraph long. It’s similar to the “Daily Overview” in iScopes. It was a decent reading. So far so good. Time to play with the other features.

But there aren’t any.

Let me say that again: There. Aren’t. Any.

Any.

And now that I have my birthdate locked in, I can’t even find a button to change it and get a reading for a different person.

In fact, the only button in the entire app is a link to the myAstroPhone website, where they try to sell you more apps.

This is beyond lame. I would like an app that does something, even in the lite version. Your pay apps might be great, myAstroPhone, but you had one chance to win me over and you failed miserably.

Stick with iScopes. I’m going to track down more of iPaguri’s apps and see if there are any free ones worth a damn. Based on this, I doubt it.

So, here is an open letter to myAstroPhone.com and iPaguri, the makers of myAstroLite:

Dear myAstroPhone.com and iPaguri,

I recently downloaded your myAstroLite application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. After careful consideration, I have a suggestion as to how you might make the application better and more user friendly:

Stop. Just stop.

Sincerely,

A very disappointed HAL9000
