The stars have aligned.
Co-Star personal astrology app is finally on the Google Play Store, and Android users have the chance to try to decode the app's notoriously strange and sometimes biting messages.
Astrology has become popular with Gen Z and millennials over the last few years, and Co-Star has benefitted from this rise, and the 11-person company managed to raise $5 million in funding from VC firms including the prominent Maveron and Aspect Ventures.
By providing information about when they were born, Co-Star users can get a daily horoscope, plus a birth chart that they can use to see their compatibility with friends. The company claims that it has "facilitated intimacy in the desert of our social relations."
It says it uses artificial intelligence and data from NASA to come up with messages. Co-Star's privacy policy also clarifies that it may use cookies, the data and time of visits, and in-app purchases to determine a horoscope message.
Android users were apparently eager to be able to participate in the Internet's astrology fascination. In its announcement, Co-Star said that over 120,000 people were on the waitlist for an Android app. Some of them expressed their excitement about the new availability on Twitter.
