A card a day on the traditional 36-card deck.
The cigánykártya — Wahrsagekarten — on your phone: today's card to turn, spreads for a question, the meaning of every card and of the classic pairs, and a journal that keeps what you drew. Hungarian, German and English, no account, nothing uploaded. Pro removes the ads and puts the day's card on your home screen. For entertainment.
One card a day, face down until you turn it. Under it, its keywords; a tap opens the full meaning. The card stays the same until midnight and goes into your journal by itself — the ritual is the point, so there is no re-draw button.
Type a question and lay the cards: Three cards for past, present and future, or — with Pro — the five-card Cross and the 36-card Grand tableau. Tap any card for its meaning, together with what it says next to each of its neighbours.
All 36 cards carry keywords, a few sentences of meaning and one line to take with you, written in Hungarian, German and English — plus the classic pair meanings for cards that sit next to each other. Warm and plain, never fatalistic, and never a health, money or legal claim.
Every reading is kept with its date, your question and your own note — the daily cards too. Open any of them again in its own layout, or share one as plain text. The free app shows the last thirty; Pro keeps the lot.
Pro puts today's card on the home screen: tap to turn it, tap again for its meaning, without opening the app. An optional daily reminder can tell you your card is waiting — at the hour you choose, and only on days you have not turned it yet.
No registration, no login, no cloud. The cards, the meanings, the journal and the widget all work in airplane mode; the only network traffic is ads and crash reports. Uninstalling takes your readings with it, because they were only ever on your phone.
Every card in this app is drawn for it — no scanned deck, no stock art. A skin restyles all thirty-six of them without changing what they show, so the reading is the same whichever one you use.
Free
The traditional cards: parchment stock, plum ink, old gold. Thirty-six scenes drawn for this app — a horseshoe and a clover for Luck, an anchor over a sunrise for Hope, a letter, a house, a carriage.
One-time purchase
Vienna 1900, the deck's own era: ivory, black and gold, straight lines and chequered friezes, a black window band with gold squares. The same thirty-six scenes in a different dress.
One-time purchase
The classic drawing on night cards: deep blue, moon-gold and stars. Every sun in the deck becomes a moon — the same scenes, read after dark.
One-time purchase
A midnight tale: near-black cards, bone-white lines, a silver moon, blood-red roses and a pointed-arch window. The bird on the cards is a raven here.
The deck itself is old and common — most Hungarian households have seen one — and the web is full of sites that deal it. On a phone it is mostly missing: what exists is thin, ad-heavy, or a translated tarot app wearing the wrong pictures. This one starts from the deck: the traditional thirty-six cards in their traditional order, their Hungarian names pinned against four printed sources, and meanings written to be read rather than to frighten.
The art follows from that. The cards are drawn from scratch for the app, which is why they can also be restyled into a whole night deck or a gothic one, and why the same picture can appear at hero size, in a thumbnail and on a home-screen widget without ever being a photograph of someone else's cardboard.
The app is free and shows a banner ad served by Google AdMob at the bottom of the screen — never a full-screen one, never a rewarded one — with a consent prompt where the GDPR requires it. Sorsvető Pro is a single one-time purchase: no ads, the home-screen widget, the Cross and the Grand tableau, and an unlimited journal. The three extra decks are separate one-time purchases. No subscription, and nothing that gates a card's meaning behind a payment. What the app does and does not collect is spelled out in the Privacy Policy.
A 36-card fortune-telling deck used across Central Europe — cigánykártya in Hungarian, Wahrsagekarten or Zigeunerkarten in German. Unlike tarot it has no suits and no reversals: each card is one named picture (Luck, Letter, House, Journey, Love), read upright, by its meaning, its position in the spread, and the cards next to it.
It gives you a card a day to turn, spreads to lay on a question, the meaning of every card and of the classic pairs, and a journal that keeps what you drew. Everything is on your phone; nothing needs an account or a connection.
No. Sorsvető is for entertainment. The card meanings are not advice of any kind — not medical, not financial, not legal — and the app says so in its own settings screen as well as here. Read it the way you would read a horoscope over coffee.
Yes. The app is free and shows a banner ad at the bottom of the screen; there are no full-screen ads and no rewarded ads. A one-time Pro purchase removes the ads and unlocks a few things, and the three extra card decks are one-time purchases too. There is no subscription.
No ads; today's card as a home-screen widget; the two large spreads — the Cross and the Grand tableau — with their pair meanings; and a journal with no limit instead of the last thirty readings. One payment, no subscription, restorable on a new phone.
Four different sets of the same thirty-six cards, drawn for this app: Classic (included), Szecessziós, Éjfél and Gótikus. A deck is bought whole and re-draws every card, in the app and in the home-screen widget. Switching between the ones you own is instant.
Hungarian, German and English — the interface, the card names and every meaning. It follows your phone's language by default, and you can pick a different one in the settings.
No. The daily card, the spreads, the meanings, the journal, the reminder and the widget all work offline. A connection is only used to serve ads in the free version, to send crash reports, and by Google Play for a purchase.
The app itself collects none — no account, no analytics, nothing uploaded. Your journal, your questions and your notes never leave the phone. Two things do leave it: crash reports, and the data Google needs to serve ads (with a consent prompt in the EEA). The privacy policy has the full details.
Sorsvető is an Android app, coming soon to Google Play. Other platforms may follow later.
Sorsvető is for entertainment purposes only. Card readings are not advice of any kind — health, financial or legal.
