Mediocre astrology readings

MB Purple Star Astrology provides an astrological analysis based on the user's time and date of birth. Although the program gives readings for 12 different aspects of the user's life, like most Mystic Board programs, the readings are brief and not particularly detailed.

As we've come to expect from Mystic Board, the program's interface is cluttered with advertising. We are encouraged to "Donate" and "Make Money Online," which gives us the sense that this program is more about making money than anything else. The program is easy enough to use; users simply … Read more

Astrological dictionary

MB Astrology-Numerology Glossary is a simple dictionary of words related to numbers and the stars. Its basic format and plainspoken language ensure that all users will be able to follow along.

The program's interface didn't win any awards for beauty with us; however, it was highly functional. Its mostly blank screen featured a minimum of diversions, which was a positive. Fortunately, we didn't need its online Help file, which didn't provide much insight in any case, because we instantly understood all the commands and functions. The program has an alphabetical list of astrological and numerological terms … Read more

Worthless astrology program

MB Scorpio Astrology Software provides a detailed look at the supposed characteristics of people born under the Scorpio star sign. Although the program does provide a lot of information, it's not very well-written, and we don't know that it's particularly accurate.

The first thing that concerns us about this program is the fact that it doesn't really need to be a program at all. It doesn't do anything. There aren't even any buttons to push or options to select; the program requires no user input whatsoever. All it does is give information about the … Read more

Body status calendar

Dynamic Biorhythms provides a tracking tool for monitoring the body's biorhythms. While its layout verges on overload, the program provides some interesting information about yourself.

The program's interface was terribly cluttered, trying to include several monitoring tools on a single screen. However, a visit to the incredibly insightful Help file, with its definitions of functionality and terminology, set us straight. The only thing that was not clear to us, and therefore kept us skeptical, was what source this biorhythm information comes from. Regardless, entering our birthday and sex revealed an incredible amount of detail. We were able to … Read more

Basic compatibility readings

MB Compatibility provides users with compatibility evaluations based on their and their partner's date of birth. The program uses several different methods for evaluating compatibility, allowing users to compare the readings.

Like all programs from Mystic Board, MB Compatibility's interface is cluttered with advertising for Mystic Board, so-called home business opportunities, and so on. If you're looking for something visually pleasing, this isn't it, but the program is at least fairly intuitive. The program's features are separated into sections for Chinese Zodiac, Moon Sign, Numerology, and Zodiac. Users enter the required information for each--mostly just … Read more

Astrological significance finder

MB Astrology Nithya Yoga offers to show us how our birthday and location are significant to yoga astrological beliefs. The program just barely misses the mark by not providing enough information.

The program's interface was a breeze for us to operate, though understanding it took a trip to the online Help file. Its brief explanation gave an understanding of the overall aim of the program, but the technical language of the program's results continued to confuse us. We only had to provide our birthday and time, along with the latitude and longitude of our birthplace (the program smartly … Read more

Simple astrological tool

MB Astrology Natal Chart provides a simple look at the planets, sun and moon on a person's day of birth. While the program looks fantastic and has a lot of details, its lack of information keeps newcomers from enjoying it.

We found the program's interface to be a mixed bag. While very basic and practically fool-proof to operate, the program and its Help file provided no information about Astrology or the meaning of the chart, which left us feeling lost. Upon entering our day and year of birth, along with the longitude and latitude of our birthplace (luckily … Read more

Clock with extras

LavClock is a clock, an alarm, and much more. With its simple operation and extensive options, this is a fantastic choice for people who want more than just a clock.

We were able to avoid the program's simple topic-related Help file because its interface felt instantly familiar. The actual clock didn't really impress us, as it made itself at home in the tray and didn't improve upon Windows' time teller. However, things improved once we realized we were able to set an alarm through a basic menu and customize the sound. We opened up the Options menu … Read more

Variety of compatibility tests

MB Love Test Finished is a free suite of different resources that use various esoteric systems (Numerology, Kundali, etc.) to test the compatibility of two partners. All of them function in essentially the same way: users input their personal data and get back a variety of reports.

A number of issues plague what is potentially a fun tool. A few of the reports were overly simplistic, and some of the predictors won't work unless your region is set as the U.S. Some spelling errors and an overall rudimentary interface give the whole program a somewhat amateurish feel. However, … Read more

Simple astrological analysis

MB Gemini Astrology is a simple bit of freeware that offers users a variety of reports related to people born under the astrological sign of Gemini. There's very little in the way of interaction, but the information is presented in clear, easy-to-understand fashion.

After passing a jumbled introductory screen, the user is presented with a single, bare-bones interface. Certain elements that seem changeable are actually fixed--the zodiac quality, the symbol, the element, and the birth dates for Gemini don't change--but you can select from a variety of reports about different aspects of this star sign's particular traits. … Read more
