The Pattern

The new interface is just terrible. I just want to get back my old verison

I’ve been using Pattern for 3 years now (approximately) and read it daily, but this new update made it unsable and the user experience is horrible. The logic this was built on is now gone and made it impossible to find the features that this app held once. I get it that working on it is a lot, but now you almost can’t even use it properly without paying for it. All the good experiences and recommodation I gave to other people to use this (once) amazing app is now gone, will think about it wheter it’s worth keeping or not.

I was once a big fan of your app, but the changes you introduced around January 2023 were a major letdown. The redesign and introduction of audio features were initially annoying, especially since some features that used to be free now require payment. Moreover, the new design is not only unappealing but also feels tacky. As a customer and user, I'm simply expressing my disappointment that your app has shifted its focus from astrology and Natal charts to a more commercialized approach, with a pay-per-minute model that often delivers generic spiritual content.

i am so disappointed in the latest update, one of my most favorite features and for me what saved me so many times and what made this app essential and of daily use to me was the ability to read others comments and experiences with every pattern which i can no longer find :(

After an update when mood guide was introduced, when things became paid, it’s not that interesting to open app anymore. Time travel is limited now, discover was showing more people nearby, also it was easier to swipe, now it useless too. I think I go back to co-star.

Make time travel free again!

Using the app is a pleasant experience, love the minimalist design and reading about things meant for me… when the app doesn’t crash. I have noticed that for the past month or so, whenever I went to open the app itself, it asked me to log in, and after I selected my preferred method, it simply crashes. At first, I made attempts at restarting my phone and then trying to open it again but was unsuccessful. Very much hoping that it will be fixed soon as this is one of my favorite apps on my phone.

i honestly don’t hate the updates, not the best for sure but it is more aesthetic and after messing with it a bit, not horrible to navigate. my biggest problem is “sharing” with someone else. there was an option to share outside of the app which pulled up like a little note card snippet. now it just directs you to download the app. so then i end up screenshotting a bunch of stuff and it’s just super annoying. i would love that feature to come back.

Im beyond sad and disappointed with what you have done with my once favorite app, everything is behind a paywall even the most trivial of information!! In the past it was available and user friendly, now its just a money machine!! For your information not everyone in the world can subscribe to your monthly/ yearly or whatever subscriptions. At first you closed the bonds relationship (deeper) information and I get it, I was sad but ultimately I figured you have the rights as long as everything else is available, then you started hiding everything else behind a paywall, even the transits and full moons aren’t available for free now! Tell me, as an average consumer who lives from pay check to pay check why should I continue using your app? Because YOU made it impossible to enjoy and use. Im beyond heartbroken, Ive been using it since it first came out and couldn’t believe that such a gem of information was available to us. With a heavy heart I am uninstalling it. It was worth my time but now it isn’t.

Used to love this app, but I’m no longer a fan. The new UI is horrible and the user experience is not intuitive at all. Way too much content that’s not organized appropriately. Oh and of course you can barely use any features anymore without being forced to pay. Very disappointed.
