Taaraka Astrology & Horoscope is an Android app for people interested in Vedic astrology. It provides daily horoscope and personalized life insights based on a user’s birth details. The app also lets users ask questions to astrology experts.
The app covers topics such as career, love, marriage, family, education, wealth, business, and spirituality. It also has compatibility matching and paid astrology counselling through audio or video sessions.
How It Ran During Testing
I checked the app on an Android phone during normal tasks such as opening the home screen, moving between sections, reading horoscope content, and checking the question and consultation areas. The app is mainly content based, so these tasks are lighter than gaming or video editing.
The Google Play listing currently shows 100K+ downloads and a 3.3-star rating from about 4.2K reviews. The listing was updated on April 27, 2025.
I would not give a fixed battery-drop or heating number because those results depend on the Redmi model, brightness, network, and length of use. Public reviews do mention past login and update-related problems, so users should keep the app updated.

Storage & Privacy Details
Google Play does not show a fixed Android download size for Taaraka, so there is no verified MB figure to report. The final storage used can also change as the app creates cache and other data.
The app depends on internet access for online content, questions, and astrology consultations. It should not be treated as a fully offline astrology app.
Public Android permission data lists access to contacts, approximate and precise location, camera, network connections, notifications, startup, and other system functions.
Google Play says the app may share personal information with third parties and may collect personal information, financial information, and other data. It also says data is encrypted during transfer and that users can request deletion.
Alternative Apps
AstroSage Kundli is a larger alternative with Kundli, horoscope matching, Panchang, AI astrology, many chart tools, and nine Indian languages. Astrotalk focuses more on direct chats and calls with astrologers and also provides Kundli and horoscope services. Taaraka is better suited to users who want daily insights, questions, compatibility, and counselling in one simpler astrology service.
