CNET Editors' review
It's funny. We've seen so many awful and completely useless programs from Mystic Board that when we come across one that actually does something, even if it only sort-of works, we're impressed. MB Free Tarot Reader And Dictionary is one such program. By any normal standards, it's awful. By Mystic Board standards, it's above average.
The program's interface, like that of all Mystic Board programs, is cluttered with advertising. On the first screen, users select whether they want a tarot reading or to view the tarot dictionary. The tarot reading option asks for the user's name, birth date, and question, and users then select from eight tarot spreads, using either the major or minor arcana. Users can cast the cards themselves or have the computer do it. The results aren't a reading so much as a description of what each card means; a good tarot reader can look at the cards in relation to one another to interpret the results, but that's not at all what this program does. As for the program's so-called tarot dictionary, forget it. There is a list of terms that it allegedly contains, but looking for a definition will take you to Mystic Board's Web site from within the program, with nary a definition in sight. The dictionary also offers a Google search, but that's nothing we couldn't do ourselves. The online Help file provides basic instruction for the program's use. Overall, this program doesn't stink as badly as it could, but it's still pretty bad.
MB Free Tarot Reader And Dictionary is free. It installs desktop icons without asking and leaves a folder behind upon removal. We do not recommend this program.

"It meets its purpose. But lots of ads."
Version: MB Tarot Reader And Dictionary 1.45
Pros
It goes though the most important tarot card issues. Very Good.
Cons
For me is just another paid software disguised in freeware. A donation is condition sine qua non for the use of the software for an extended period of time. Why not say it cost $24,99 to download it.
Summary
Since you install the software you have very little control over it. It invades your machine without asking what you should install whether you want it or not. To end it I had to use "end task" in task manager. There�s no option for you to end it.
The main issue is the lack of dharma. They shouldn�t use such acknowledgment just for the aim of pure business. -
"Not the best I've seen"

Pros
It is capable of doing what it sets out to do.
Cons
However there are other sites that can, and do preform this service mush easier!.
Summary
Firstly just that, it is a product and secondly there is a little to no need for it, as certain websites provide this, without any need for a download.
