CHANI: Your Astrology Guide Ratings and Reviews

Chani gives me chills constantly! ✨

This app has by far lifted my life in so many ways. I am two years into astrology and this app helps me not only understand astrology and my Nataly chart phenomenally and way more into depth than any other app but Chani personally records weekly readings every week for the generalized public and a personal reading based on your chart. Let me tell you, once you get in the routine of every Sunday listening to the reading for the week, it feels as if Chani is talking to you personally right there and then. I will listen to my reading and the generalized reading every day of the week to really feel and understand the readings as they are happening and I feel I learn something new or hear something different each time I listen. It’s so crazy when you read and listen to your reading and then it happens in real life!! Oh the universe and it’s beautiful ways of connection ✨ I have unsubscribed several apps because they just don’t do the justice or gives me the same feeling that this app gives me. Chani you are truly outstanding!! Your creation here is truly one of a kind and has my full support. I share this app to everyone I know starting into astrology and who likes astrology. Thank you for creating this for all of us to dive deeper and give our souls the truest form of self love and understanding. Don’t pass this app up ✨ if you are wanting to find yourself and free your soul, download and upgrade to pro, this is worth every penny! 🦋

Mixed Experience

I decided to cancel my subscription after using this app for several months. I stayed with the app because the meditations are absolutely excellent, and Chani is just such a gifted advocate, speaker, and healer. I truly found her meditations and the variety of them very helpful. I subscribed to the app because when I first bought her 2021 forecast for Aries (sun sign) in late 2020, which features the visual charts and allows you to go back and forth during the calendar year, there were so many dates that ended up being so spot on accurate that I decided to try her app. However, and this is my biggest complaint about the app, the app defaults to the rising sign. Not once in the several months that I’ve had the app did I feel that my Gemini rising sign reading resonated with me. Not once, and I’ve had my chart done elsewhere so I appreciate astrology. And then I would go read other astrology sites for Aries sun, and those readings and forecasts would resonate. I liked the aspirational tone of the content here but it became too general; we should all take good care of our health, tap into our creative energies, and release what’s not working regardless of our sign. Honestly, I miss her old content, and would rather just add that to the current meditations. The artwork is FANTASTIC, and the art department here is BRILLIANT! But honestly, the content began to feel irrelevant to me. If I could’ve kept just the meditations, I would’ve paid for that.

Developer Response ,

Hi there, thank you so much for your feedback. We offer you content created for your rising sign because doing so allows us to give you a reading that reflects what’s happening in your entire chart (and therefore life). When we just consider your Sun, it’s only one part of your chart and we like to give you a holistic view of what is happening. If you prefer, you can align your rising sign with your sun sign by changing your time of birth to be the time of the sunrise for that day, and you will be able to read your sun sign horoscope. If you want to read all the signs, we post the horoscopes on chaninicholas.com. Kindly, team CHANI

Love the App but I miss some things …

CHANI … I do so love the app. I look forward to the weekly readings and cannot thank you enough for passing on your gifts to the rest of us. I am a long time follower of yours and used to purchase the monthly readings you did on your website (that I believe have now been replaced by the app). As much as I love the app, I do miss two things.
1) Being able to listen to and digest all the readings for all twelve signs. I realize that’s a lot of content for the monthly price you were offering back then but I do wish you allowed for access to the “weekly reading” for more than one sign in the workshop section of the app. Although I already pay the premium fee, I would be willing to even pay extra for access to more than one sign’s weekly reading. Any thought to offering that option????
2) I miss the charts that you made on the website for each reading before the app was developed. I’m truly a visual learner so they made it easier for me to understand the planetary movements through the houses and understanding the houses is a huge part of understanding your readings. Any thoughts on adding more charts, in addition to the basic natal chart already included in the app?
Again, thank you for all that you do. I highly recommend this app to everyone who asks me about my interest in astrology … if you are reading this and are thinking about purchasing this resource, I give it a solid A+ !!!

Thank you for your kind words and support of the app! We hear you on your feedback and are taking down all of your notes. We are so grateful for you! Best, team CHANI

Live Laugh Love

CHANI, I know you and your team will read this because you tell us on the podcast each week that you read all the reviews! So I’m holding you to your word because I don’t know how better to let you all know how GRATEFUL I am for this tool! I want to share with you an incredible breakthrough I just had using this astrology app.

First of all, for context, my Venus is in Virgo. I didn’t really know what that meant until months of listening to the Astrology of the Week Ahead podcast started to sink in and I started to recognize my inner critic’s voice coming up, especially around themes of love, art, beauty, pleasure, and the relationship I have with my body. The meditations and affirmations in this app have helped me honor that activated protector part of myself, and calm my body with grounding practices.

Today the daily meditation was on “friendliness”, and I almost skipped it because I’m a pretty friendly person already lol. But I gave it a shot and proceeded to have my MIND BLOWN by the way you walked me though how to treat my own BODY like a FRIEND!? Like actually extending the same appreciation and kindness and consideration that I would give others… to myself? I’ve been in therapy for body image issues for a long time with some slow progress, but this this little meditation packed such an unexpected punch of healing that I am truly in awe. Wow! I tell you what, wow! Thank you so much.

The CHANI App brings peace and perspective for me-and to share!

I listen to the collective and personal reading both at the beginning and end of the week. The first listen prepares me: I love the analogy of a weather forecast; when these astrological conditions are present, this tends to happen. At the end of the week, I re-listen to find understanding and reflect on my assumptions and/or gained insights.

Chani also equips me to share astrology with others, as a tool for self-reflection! I moved from education to the corporate sector, and it’s been a tough transition. Corporate tends to be hyper-masculine and Capitalistic. It also has a lot of work to do for equity, inclusion, and justice. I share astrology with my colleagues to offer an approachable, fun way for them to consider our values, ethics, and behaviors. I now have the Director of HR asking me, “what’s going on with the moon?!” My team plans our live events around the astrological calendar! And, I recently led a session on AI and used the approaching Age of Aquarius (and referenced the previous one, during the Industrial Revolution) to help us understand what’s coming and also placate anxieties surrounding it.

Thank you, Chani and team, for giving me a tool to help teach myself and others that we can (and should!) always stop to consider our strengths, growth areas, and the ways in which we can better the world around us. 🙏🏼♋️💙

The Most Personalized Astrology App on Earth

Not all astrology apps are created equal, because not all astrologers are created equal. Chani and her team have found a sublime balance between ancient wisdom and practical modern advice that culminates in horoscopes that are equal parts pithy encouragement and sage guidance. When you couple that with the app’s robust personalization, volume of content and features, and a beautiful and thoughtfully designed user interface, this app really does have it all. I’ve used the app religiously since it’s launch and it has become an interval part of not only my astrology practice, but of my life. I think it takes a certain level of experience in astrology to even appreciate how intricate and personalized this content truly is. So, if you’re new to astrology and wondering where to begin, let me save you some time: it’s with the CHANI app. Thank you to the CHANI team for all you do!!! Side note: The only thing I would request of the Chani team, is (1) to add additional asteroids (Ceres, Juno, etc.) and (2) to add a visual graphic of the current sky in the app, whether on the homepage, in the transits section, or as an outline on the natal chart (the app is my main reference for current transits but I often find myself venturing to other sources for a chart of the moment and it would be awesome to have that visual guide within the same app). ❤️❤️❤️

My self-care toolbox

There hasn’t been a single app I have ever left a review for, and this is my first one for a reason. I downloaded it in October of 2021, and since then have used it as my trustworthy guide on the journey of self-knowledge, self-compassion, and as “You Were Born For This” gently shows us, radical self-acceptance. My relationship with time feels richer. What used to be the Sunday blues has transformed into the exact opposite, as I eagerly await the holistic weekly reading for the week, along with journaling prompts and rituals that cast aside rigidity and offer malleability to my schedule while still providing me with comfort and support. I know that for every mood I am in, I can count on Chani’s soothing voice and the variety of meditations available to hold my hand through it. I frequently look at my chart, the descriptions of my natal planetary placements, and any current transits to gain a better understanding of what I am going through at any moment, and to remind myself that my past experiences happened for a reason. This app has not just provided me with an extensive and rich self-care kit; it has also helped me find more magic in my experience of my life. I am so thankful for Chani’s wisdom, and the whole team (writers, artists, developers, etc.) behind the app for this intentional and thoughtful creation. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Can’t live without it, won’t live without it! ✨

So I love Chani and her book is the most accessible I have ever read on astrology, so I thought I would try the paid version of the app and cancel if I didn’t use it enough. LOL, yeah, that’ll never happen. I can’t live my life without it. It is like a whole astrology class!! I have learned SO much! There is a weekly mini podcast and a weekly personal reading for your rising sign and how the major transits are affecting you—both recorded by Chani. A library of meditations. Altar suggestions for working with each major transit. Weekly guided meditation focused on each week’s most significant astrological activity (so lots of Full Moon/New Moon meditation). Full personal chart analysis of every planet and house, gifts and challenges of how they’re positioned in your chart. AND maybe my favorite thing—you can go in and edit and save the birth info all you want, over and over, so that you can pull a detailed chart analysis and recorded horoscopes for anyone you want. Life changing, seriously. The premium version of the app is worth a ton more than the monthly cost in my opinion. An absolute lifeline. AND the team NEVER stops adding EVEN MORE. There are constantly new and exciting features, refining and adding detail to personal insights and weekly overviews. Thank you, CHANI APP team, you all ROCK!!!

Want to trust, but…

My life has been hard from the start. I’m psychologically and emotionally abused daily, after having a mystery illness that was severely debilitating and was neglected during that time when I’d desperately need a “foundation” due to dissociative, panic, and terrifying hallucinations. I went into remission upon the disorder becoming an official diagnosis and having a medication to treat 99% of my symptoms, but had no luck preparing for my future before or since due to continued abuse and unusually bonding situations and strangely coincidental times of bad luck, which have become worse in severity and so often it’s very normal for me. I feel I was put here to have my life slowly eat away at my will to live as I have no one I can trust and I’m seen as worthless yet cannot escape the situation due to being stuck because of my environment and horrible luck. Any progress gained is taken away without rational explanation faster than I received the opportunity, or it’s blocked intentionally bc of abuse from those I love with (my own family). What if my birth chart says what all other clues have pointed to? Which is “you’re screwed!”? I’m afraid I’m beyond help and Spirit has “left me to the wolves”…can this app give hope to a life like MINE?? I’m desperate for any help. I’m just scared of the same outcome:/

Game-Changer for Astrological Studies

While I've always been an avid follower of astrology, I finally started becoming serious about learning astrology this year (Lots of 9H stuff happening this year for me—go figure!). CHANI has been such a big help in staying present with an “astrology mindset.” Starting and debriefing my week with this app has been key in keeping what I’m learning fresh in the brain, and I’ve learned so much about myself and my perspectives on growth and achievement. It’s also helped me on my healing journeys, and is my go-to when I’m in need of a good meditation sesh. As someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, seeing the world through the glasses of astrology has helped me ground myself and not feel so out-of-control (something I’ve disclosed in therapy; do not recommend treating mental health with just astrology 😭). It’s like a…“I work to know the universe, so I trust that it’s working to know me” type-a-thing! It’s also so stellar and important that CHANI as a company values liberation for all, and I really admire the support and benefits they provide for their employees. Overall, I absolutely love CHANI and recommend it to everyone. I can’t wait to start 2025 with it—just ordered my planner, too—and I know it will be a valuable resource once we enter Pluto in Aquarius for good!
