Hello tarot friends,
I am working on an open source tarot app for android devices and was hoping I might find some intrepid tarot experts here who would not mind helping me kick the tires and maybe provide some suggestions.
The program is available in the Android market as TarotBot and there is a web page (which with a feedback forum for testers at
http://liber.us/tarotbot but feel free to dialog here
This app is in no way attempting to replace a physical tarot deck, rather the goal here is to leverage the tarot symbolism into a new medium.
current features include:
-full screen high resolution display of cards
-dynamic interpretations
-saving and sharing of readings
some of the features currently being worked on but not deployed include:
-customizable interpretations for individual cards as well as relationships
-premium licensed decks from Il Meneghello (these will be for purchase only)
-switchable decks (including custom decks)
-custom "spreads"*: the plan is to keep the same interface but allow for the user to choose a random number of cards or a set number if a set number is chosen the user will be provided an option to name the positions and save the "spread"
*I put spreads in quotes because there are no plans to make the entire spread viewable on a mobile phone format, perhaps when android tablets with larger displays are available though...
