In my MC 4381 class (the class for which this blog is initially meant for), we have a project in which we are to design an app that coincides with the theme of our blog. It has to be new and inventive, so of course I’m going to stray away from creating anything horoscope related, because that seems to be what 90% of Astrology apps are. I’m also going to stray away from creating the commonly found “Learn About Your Sign” app because we all know that those all seem to sound the same and are all based on stereotypes.

Instead, I propose the idea of little known fact notifications that would be sent daily. Kind of like a fact of the day about not just your sun sign, but your other signs as well.

Disclaimer: These app screenshots were created using Yapp and has not been released to any merchant.

The “facts” can cover a range of topics; they would even cover those suggested by readers via the Discussion tab of the app or this blog! The poll changes every other week, depending on the month or also by suggestion. The twitter tab would keep readers up to date on blog posts, random tidbits and other interesting facts about other signs.

The Discussion tab would also be open to anyone with questions or comments over the blog, to which I’d be happy to look over and answer. Other readers are also welcome to answer and chat.

I would hope that, by using this app, people will continue to realize that astrology can embody many different concepts, not just stereotypical personality traits and frankly inaccurate descriptions about your “future love life”. My app would serve more as a reality check in terms of Astrology, as well as an interactive place where people (and myself) can learn more about the true history behind the zodiac.

But lets be real here; we’ve all wondered about compatibility, have we not?

Still curious? Tune in to my next post coming soon to find out more!

See you next time!
