Great
Love this app. I've been practicing astrology for 46 years and never thought I would be able to draw a chart in seconds wherever I am. I love that I can now do progressions.Colabeth
Confusing
Update: the developer can’t take feedback and responds defensively. The app is confusing. The documentation isn’t good. Sorry I didn’t sugar coat or give 5 stars. 3 is about right for a useful app that is frustrating to learn, confusing to use, and not cheap.
Original review: It seems like there are a lot of features but the app is sooooo confusing. For instance, I keep getting an error saying that if I want to see the transit calendar I need change a setting. But the setting mentioned doesn’t exist. It’s confusing to add charts. The documentation just adds details to each element of the app but there are no instructions on how to do basic things.Show less----arrrr----

Update - Nothing to do with defensiveness, strictly biz. The original review was full of incorrect information. It stated a) we do not have documentation. We DO in both the App and online at www.iphemeris.com. The documentation includes STEP by STEP instructions for most things and is illustrated with pictures and there are even some videos. b) Your original review implied we had a bug in Transit Calendar and that a required setting did not exist. Also not true, the setting does exist and can be found in iPhemeris Settings -> Calendar section. c) Therefore, to prevent this review from creating the false impression that there are bugs and issues, we have to clearly reply as to what is incorrect about these statements. Nothing personal, simply business. Original Response: 1) It is NOT possible to use Transit Calendar without supplying a Radix Chart. That is what transit calendar does. It shows a calendar of Transits TO THE RADIX, and if you want to use it you will have to create a radix chart (your natal chart for example) and then go to settings and select that chart to be used. 2) This feature is documented. 3) The Setting DOES Exist in Settings > Calendar Section > Transit Calendar Radix Chart (tap it and select one). That's it 4) There are LOTS of documentation for how to do basic things from right within the app... how about try the "Documentation" tab? Or you can go to the website: www.iPhemeris.com or you can email support at: support@iphemeris.comIPhemeris
Fun to play with but I wish there was more instructions for novices when it comes to building charts, composite. Would like synastry as well. Then a break down on its meaning. Or how to utilize that other charts, which seem to have a ton of knowledge but for the novice challenging to understand. I’m using the tools provided and a lot of google.Show lessRaineb73
Spectacular
This is utterly spectacular software. The program works flawlessly and delivers the exact information needed to perform advanced analysis. I like the transits display which is easy to ready and easy to manipulate. I carry it with me constantly and use it daily. The author is responsive to feedback and has incorporatede every suggestion I ever made. This is how software should work
I wish the transit chart showed approaching and separating transits and would MARK THEM as approaching or separating.Show lessAlexrandall5
There’s just ONE thing that would make it perfect
This app is great, totally worth what I paid. I mainly use it for the ephemeris and aspect calendar to write forecasts. The one thing I wish is that the app would stop refreshing upon opening back up after having it minimized. Since I use it for writing, I often have google docs pulled up on my phone as well and sometimes when switching apps, I lose my place and have to redo the search for whatever month I was looking at. If that small thing were fixed, then this would be perfect!Show lesscheylonghini

Thanks!! This is a good suggestion. Look for that improvement in the next update. We will remember the current ephemeris page. Probably we will make this an optional setting for those who prefer the ephemeris to always be the current month.With every penny
I feel so much more organized and at ease with my chart readings with this app. it’s simple and to the point. It’s not a beginners app, but for more advanced astrologers i recommend you try it out!rileynicolea
Love the app, but
I seriously love this app. I think it’s amazing and works great. My one and only problem with it is that when switching between apps I lose the chart I was looking at. I have to go back and select it and the hit show chart. While it’s nothing major, it is frustrating and I’m really hoping the developers can fix it because the hassle almost makes me regret getting it on my phone. I already have it on my computer but I wanted one I could access anywhere easily.Show lessLemWrites

I use this app everyday and have used it for the past 4 years. It has the best interface of any app offered in the app store. With cloud storage for charts, and new features such as Categories, you can add tags to charts and organize them to your liking.
There are a couple features I’ve been wishing to be added this app.
• While I’m happy that some of the lesser used aspects are included (Decile, Bi-Novile, Septile, Quindecile, etc.), the septile series is missing the Bi-Septile (102°) and Tri-Septile (154°).
• Planet glyph overlap still remains to be an issue when there’s a stellium, whether you’re in single chart view, in 2 chart view, or 3 chart view. Even zooming in doesn’t make it legible.
• It would be nice to add an option to type in a transit date when using Chart + Now. Skipping back and forth between “7 days” to “1 day” and “10 minutes” can be a hassle. However, it’s no problem when your forecasting ahead and not having a particular date in mind to look at.
• The aspect table in Chart + Now or when doing synastry sometimes calculates backwards. It will say the aspect is separating when it is actually applying and vice versa.Show lessoliviagylov

Substantial improvements have been made to glyph placement for stellium. We are reaching the limits of what is possible with many bodies on small screens. If you have a particular stellium you want us to take a look at then contact support@iphemeris.com we need examples to work on improvement and this forum is not suitable to discuss issues.Big boy on the block
Whoever said that this app is no good has got to be illiterate, cause all you have to do is read the instructions!
I have not put this thing down for hours! My teacher Robert Pelletier would have enjoyed this little gem!

Awesome app!!
Have been using this app exclusively for all my astrology needs for years now. You can easily save individual charts and also pull up transit charts and synastry charts too. Definitely recommend!!!Mom714112567
