I’ve used this app for years and I love it, I recommend it all the time.
However, sometimes the daily horoscope is waxing too poetic, and I don’t always get what they mean. Often times I need a quick read, and sometimes I have to read the horoscope out loud to get it. (For example: “require you to confront your deepest fears about exchanging resources”, what resources?? I’m confused. I own very little lol like most people, so how does that apply to most people?)
Often times I’ll put a friends birth data in the app, and read their chart, and they’ll be confused by the phrasing of an aspect.
I’m glad the Chani team loves writing in an artistic way - it does help to understand the meaning better.
But it’d be better paired with clear statements.
Alerts
I receive alerts on the phone and sometimes they disappear when i log in to the phone but i can never always pull up the alert on the app. The alerts are just a sentence and i believe something to keep a user addicted to the app bc theyre just some blaze line with no depth provided in the app and im a paid member. Shame on you!
A Testimony of Transformation: How the Chani App Deepens My Faith, Creativity, and Purpose
I hope you don’t mind me framing this as a bit of a testimony—coming from someone raised in the Black church, that’s how we do! The CHANI app has been life-changing for me and my husband—we both absolutely love it. As someone who grew up in ministry, I’ve always been deeply connected to the divine. In many church spaces, astrology is often reduced or misunderstood, and people forget that it’s a divine tool—one that can help us better understand ourselves and the universe.
Astrology has always been something I’ve felt drawn to. My father had my chart done when I was young, so it’s something I’ve been familiar with for a long time. Chani has taken it to another level, making astrology feel even more like an extension of my faith. It has deepened my connection to the Creator, empowering me to live with greater intention and alignment.
If you’re reading this in a shedding season or a moment of transition, I want you to know you’re not alone. I’m currently in a messy, scary, yet purpose-filled evolution as I rebrand and step into a new version of myself as a professional artist and musician. The Chani app has been a grounding force during this time. My weekly readings resonate and consistently provide perspective. They’ve also inspired me to weave astrology into my creative expression.
Chani, you have an incredible gift. Your readings feel like divine messages tailored to my soul. As a Scorpio sun and moon with an Aquarius rising, I’ve often struggled with certain placements in my chart and with stepping fully into my power. Your insights have been a blessing, especially as I navigate a season of healing, self-discovery, and growth.
One of the most valuable gifts your app has given me is the reminder that I have agency in my relationships—something I haven’t always felt. For the first time, I’m learning to identify and voice my needs, which is transforming not only my personal life and creative work but also my journey as a mother. Motherhood has been a beautiful yet challenging experience, and this app has given me tools to better understand myself, my child, and this sacred season of life.
I highly recommend doing the paid version—it’s worth every penny. I also encourage everyone to pick up Chani’s book, You Were Born for This: Astrology for Radical Acceptance. I have it, and it’s been another incredible companion.
Chani, you’ve created something that has truly touched my life, and I’m so grateful. I’m endlessly thankful for the work you and your team d
Adorable, but young
I have been following CHANI since my late 20’s (now in my early 40’s) and if this review were strictly for her, 5 stars, 20 stars. But I have to say the app feels cutesy and at times very specific - the same things that drove me away from Susan Miller (we don’t all own real estate or stock etc) I wish the app and the daily horoscopes would tune into broader archetypes that didn’t feel so literal and honestly just aren’t going to apply to many people.
CHANI is the best
I discovered CHANI on Instagram when I was going through a big transition and as many of the folks who leave reviews mention, it couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. The posts led me to the app, which led me to a subscription and the rest is history. I love the recording, the text, the images, and the insights - my goddesses, the insights. Thank you, CHANI and team for all you do.
Obsessed
I’ve been listening to the podcast for a while now and finally decided to treat myself to the app subscription. Reading all my current planetary descriptions were so validating and very nail on the head. Chani is a true talent!
Excellent!
Love everything about this app. I’ve never had the tools of astrology laid out in a user friendly and yet not floofy manner before. The science is made accessible and the in depth analysis checks all the boxes. Meditations are very helpful (especially Black Moon Lilith-more please!).
This app has everything you need-natal chart, planetary, zodiacal, aspects, transits-and real world, solid and practical. Thank you! Keep up the outstanding work!
TRUMP
Loved you until you got political. Trump will save America.
Ritualizable
After finally surfacing from a multi-year bout of deep melancholy I have learned that part of staying afloat requires constantly scheduling things to look forward to, and the Chani app effectively auto-pilots that for me! I live for my daily reading, and I have a standing appointment every Sunday to listen to my personalized readings for the week coming up. The New and Full moon meditations and alter suggestions help me find ritual every two weeks, which breaks up large stretches of time into manageable chunks so I can truly focus my energy on what is aligned with the current cosmic landscape. I have been a long time subscriber to Premium because it has been an investment in receiving support for so many layers and aspects of how I experience myself and my place in the world. Thank you, Chani team, for inspiring ritual and helping me anchor to something amidst an otherwise stormy sea. Also, will you ever consider turning your beautiful graphics into a Chani Tarot deck? (Pleeeaaasseeee?!?)
Overcome with weeping
Out walking my dog Cielo and listening to Chani's Nov 25th Astrology of the week ahead podcast, as I am wont to do most weeks, I found tears streaming down my face. Chani, whom I respect for her wise calming voice that connects me with the planets and affirms my wild rebellious Lilith side, said what I know is true but not enough people with a platform are saying right now. In a special prepodcast message, Chani named the reality that we will likely face since the recent election: facism, genocide, toxic masulinity and xenophobia on steroids are emboldened and plotting to attack. It takes courage given that some who are speaking up are losing their jobs. I am receiving weird hatemail--not "report to the plantation"---but hatemail implying people are keeping tabs on my dissenting views. Having Chani willing to partner to address these developments collectively means the world to me. Chani pledged to make recordings closer to political events as they are unfolding. I salute this exemplary courage and use of your voice, this unwillingness to do new age apolitical escapism. I feel all the love you and the team are sharing with us this week and every week. I thank you for your courage.
