STAR/CHILD

Articles are here in the guides tab! We have even more to talk about, if you can believe that.

We made a small change to onboarding to make it clearer how to get started.

Here's what we changed in this update: * We made some style changes to buttons in onboarding — they're cuter and easier to see now. * We fixed a bug that was causing an annoying flicker in some places. * We fixed a bug that made it look like you always have unread notifications in the app, even when you don't. * Made a couple of design updates to smooth things out!

* This update fixes a weird glitch that was logging users out every time they close the app. Mercury retrograde really put us all through it!

* We added a birth chart calculator! Now you can play around with different birth dates, times, and locations, see what a chart would look like, and then add it to your family. Super fun if you're expecting a new baby or just want to quickly look at someone's chart. * We made some nice updates to our audio player. You can easily swipe to jump ahead or back and — best of all — you can now leave the app and have the audio keep playing in the background.

* Co-parents are here! You can now add the other grown-ups in your kid's life, get their chart, and see their horoscope every day, week, and season. You'll also get deep-dive guides on their astrology so you can work together as parents more easily. * We've made some little design changes to make the whole app feel just a bit cozier and easier to navigate.

* Screenshot Confirmation: You’ll now get a little pop-up confirming when your screenshot was taken, making it easier to share and tag us on Instagram. * Birth Chart Scrolling Issue: We fixed an issue with scrolling in the birth chart settings, so it’s easier to explore all the insights. * Shrinking Guide Buttons: We’ve resolved a bug where guide buttons would shrink and mess up the images on screen. Everything should display properly now. * Toast Closing on Mobile: The screenshot confirmation pop-up can now be closed on mobile by swiping or pressing the X.

* Improved Navigation Across Screens: We’ve introduced a consistent back arrow in Navbar Layout headers for smoother navigation and standardized margins on the Today and Family screens for a cleaner, more cohesive experience. * Toast Animation & Color Updates: Toasts now slide in smoothly from right to left, and status indicators use a left border color for improved visual clarity. * Refined Visuals: Body font size has been adjusted from 15px to 14px for better readability, and we’ve removed the gray outline on button hover/press states for a more polished design. * Family Screen Update: The Family Screen now displays content for one family member at a time. Users can navigate between members using a modal at the top and edit the family overview in settings. * Carousel Enhancements: Carousels now bleed off the right edge on mobile screens, making it clear to users that they can swipe for more content. * Bug Fixes: Resolved issues with Guides button shrinking during loading and account creation errors after logging out, ensuring consistent functionality and proper display.

*Daily Audio Player Enhancement: The daily audio player now includes its matching daily illustration in the expanded view, creating a more immersive experience. *Today's Screen Desktop Refresh: The Today screen on desktop has been refined with improved edge lines, shadows, and alignment for a cleaner look. *Faster Tab Navigation: Instantly switch between tabs like "Today" and "Charts" without waiting for transition animations. *Automatic Version Checks: Stay up to date with an automatic version check that alerts you when updates are available. *Safe Zone Layout Improvements: Improved spacing and consistent layouts across all screens, including those with background images. *Bug Fixes: Improved user subscription checks to ensure uninterrupted access, fixed iOS build issues on certain devices for better stability, removed unused project files for optimized performance.

*Insights that grow with your kid: Readings now adjust to seven different age groups—from newborns to older kids—so what you get actually reflects where your child’s at. *Location input that doesn’t fight you: Entering a location is faster and less annoying now. The keyboard shows up when it should. You tap, it types. Done. *Onboarding cleanup: We fixed the clunky parts. The return key now says “Done,” and tapping outside the keyboard actually works. *Weekly audio widget fixes: We tightened up spacing in the audio player so it’s easier to read and doesn’t look off. *Bugs + speed boosts: Squashed some bugs tied to subscriptions, social login, and birth chart navigation. While we were in there, we gave image loading a little kick, too.

We just dropped our biggest update ever. Now featuring full relationship analysis between you and your entire family, super-detailed daily, weekly, and seasonal horoscopes, expanded natal insights, a smoother design, and a way smarter astrology engine. Everything is deeper, more personal, and way more you. This is the biggest update we’ve ever released, and it completely transforms how STAR/CHILD works. Here’s the rundown on the juicy new stuff: 1. Deep relationship insights between every member of your family It’s synastry time, baby. The feature we've been building toward from the start: personalized relationship analysis. You can now explore detailed astrological insights about how each person in your family connects with the others. *See how you and your child communicate, comfort each other, challenge each other, and grow together. *Understand the energetic dynamics between siblings, co-parents, step-parents, grandparents—every relationship in the family constellation. *Each relationship breakdown covers emotional tone, communication style, boundaries, support, tension, and more. It’s astrology for real relationships, written to reflect the nuance and complexity of family dynamics. 2. Way more detailed horoscopes for everyone in your family We’ve expanded every single part of the horoscope experience: - Daily, weekly, and seasonal horoscopes now reflect far more chart-specific detail, written to feel accurate, insightful, and actually useful. - Content is now truly tailored to all the details of each person’s full chart (this is, uh, really hard to do — most horoscopes are based on just one or two things from your chart) - Every horoscope is shaped by transits that matter most to that person, based on their astrological DNA, their age, and your relationship to them 3. Richer birth chart insights, totally reimagined We’ve added dozens of new cards across the natal chart to reflect a much deeper range of personality and emotional patterns. - You’ll find new language, new archetypes, and new ways of describing the people you love - Every planet, placement, and pattern is interpreted through a grounded, emotionally intelligent lens 4. New design, new screens, and a smoother experience The app looks and feels different—and better—everywhere you go. It’s so cute, honestly. - You can now switch between family members from any screen, making it easier to see the full picture - Our charts are more interactive and readable - Our carousels are redesigned to feel more responsive and natural to use - Tons of visual polish across the app 5. Pick-a-Date: go back in time Ever wonder what was going on some random (or not-so-random) past day? Now you can. Our new Pick a Date feature lets you look back at past horoscopes for any family member, so you can make connections in hindsight (or just satisfy your curiosity). 6. Faster, smarter astrology engine This update is powered by a completely rebuilt engine under the hood. It calculates everything faster, with more precision, and allows for much more personalization in every horoscope and chart insight. The result: a feed that feels like it actually knows you—and your family. This update marks a huge step forward in how astrology shows up in STAR/CHILD. It’s more emotionally resonant, more human, and more tailored to the actual relationships and people in your life. We built this version to feel like it’s meeting you where you are: parenting, partnering, decoding chaos, and trying to show up for each other better. We think you’re going to love what’s new.

Profection years content is here! This is an extremely cool astrology technique that shows a different focus area for every year of your kids’ (and your) lives. 4. Animations and bug fixes Arguably not as exciting as everything else, but we also added animated illustrations (!!) to our family screen and fixed a few weird little bugs. We think you’re going to love what’s new.

This update is actually a game-changer. We’re not even being dramatic. All the features you’ve been asking for since we first launched? We’ve got those now. Here’s what’s in this new version: • Relationship breakdowns for your entire family You can now see why any two people in your family interact the way they do. You + your kids, you + any co-parents you’ve got, those co-parents + your kids, and your kids + their siblings. The whole family, unpacked in a wild amount of detail. If you want to know why the vibe between everyone in your family is the way it is, that’s what this tells you. • Way more detailed birth chart insights Birth charts are no longer just a list of signs and houses. They’re now broken into real-life categories — how someone communicates, shows care, handles stress, sets boundaries, picks battles, etc. — based on how everything in the chart talks to everything else (for our astrology-literate besties: we’re breaking down aspects in charts now, yours and everyone in your family, aka, the ultra-specific stuff). • Parenting archetypes Big-picture portraits of how you show up as a parent: instincts, pressure points, strengths, and blind spots. Allow us to simultaneously gas you up and drag you in ways that will feel uncomfortably accurate. • Design and navigation upgrades Updated screens, cleaner layouts, and faster movement between family members. Charts and insight carousels are easier to read and more responsive. • Performance improvements and fixes Visual polish, animation updates, and bug fixes throughout the app.
