Questions
How Ask Qronos works, what you can ask, what it costs, and what it will not read.
What is Ask Qronos?
Ask Qronos is an app for decisions and doubts, on iPhone and Android. You ask one question about something you are facing, in your own words: should I take it, is it true, where do we stand, which way do I go. You get a written reading back in four parts: where it stands, where your effort ends, what to do, and how long the reading holds. The answer can be no. The app has no web version.
What can I ask?
One question about something in front of you. A job, a move, money, study, a launch. Whether something you were told holds up. Whether a relationship is still alive, or someone else is involved. Which direction to sit facing in a meeting, or which direction is best for a move to a new city. One subject, one question, one Ask. "Should I take this job offer?" gives you a direction. "I have a job offer" has no question in it, so there is little to read. If we read it, the Ask is used. You can ask about your own situation, or about someone close to you.
How is Ask Qronos different from an AI chatbot?
You can ask a chatbot the same question. It will often agree with you, or give you both sides and hand the decision back. Qronos reads the moment you asked and commits to a direction. It will say hold, or no. It also tells you where more effort will not change anything, and when the reading stops being useful.
How accurate is it?
We do not claim accuracy, and we do not promise an outcome. A reading is a direction drawn from the moment you asked. What you do with it is yours. The chart behind it is calculated the same way every time, and nobody writes or edits what you receive.
What if I do not like the answer?
You often will not. A no is not a verdict on you. It is where your effort stops reaching, which is worth knowing before you spend three months finding out the hard way.
What will it cost?
Each reading costs one Ask, a single-question credit. There is no subscription and nothing renews. An Ask you buy does not expire. Registration includes a Welcome Ask. Prices go live with the app.
Do I need my date of birth?
No. The time you ask sets the chart. We ask for your year of birth to confirm you are 18 or over, and for your gender, which the reading uses.
Month, day and hour are optional, but worth adding. When a question involves you, they make the reading more precise and more personal. You get a full reading without them.
Is my question private?
Yes. We treat your question as the most sensitive thing we hold. Your question and your reading are never sent to an analytics or advertising service, and nobody writes or edits what you receive.
We never publish an example without your consent, and it goes out anonymized: question and reading together, with names of people and companies removed. Write roles instead of names: my manager, this company, my sister. Questions written that way also read better.
Can I ask about someone else?
Yes. A husband, a friend, a parent, a client, a manager, a company. Use a role instead of a name. Do not include anyone's full name, or the name of a company, school or organization. Ask about the decision, not the person. You should have the right to share whatever you include.
Can I ask the same question again?
Yes. A second ask costs another Ask, and nothing is refunded. The first reading stays the one that stands until its hold period ends, however many times you ask in between. Ask again only after that period, or when something in front of you has clearly changed.
Why was my question refused?
Qronos reads one thing at a time. A question is refused when it covers two separate subjects, or when it falls outside what we read.
We do not answer questions about self-harm, suicide or harm to others, child safety, illegal activity, gambling, medical emergencies or politics, and we do not answer what a search engine answers better. If a question is refused, no Ask is used. Once a reading arrives, the Ask is used.
Is this astrology or tarot?
No. Astrology reads the planets, and tarot draws cards. Qronos uses Qi Men Dun Jia, a Chinese method that reads the timing of a situation from a calculated chart. The time you ask sets the chart, and there is nothing to shuffle.
Who writes the reading?
Nobody. Readings come out of the same system that runs in the app, including the free readings before launch. A person picks which questions to run and sends the result. Nobody writes or edits what you receive.
What do the four parts mean?
Where it stands is the read on the situation. Where your effort ends is what more pushing will not change. What to do is the direction. How long it holds is the window after which this reading stops being the one to use.
Can I use Ask Qronos on the web?
No. Qronos runs on iPhone and Android, and only where the app is listed in the App Store or on Google Play. There is no browser version.
What if I am in danger?
Qronos is not an emergency service. It cannot summon help and it is not monitored. If you or someone else is in danger, contact your local emergency number now, or find a helpline at findahelpline.com.
