### 1/5 — It could be good app if it could show notification when new hora starts.

*2025-08-15*

I am not sure why developer is butthead not adding this simple notification option when hora changes and new hora starts one banner notification so people can be aware of what hora is going on.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-07-09*

this is so helpful to be in alignment with your inner cosmos

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2025-04-29*

I use this app whenever I want to do mantras at exactly the right planetary time. What a great resource!!

### 1/5 — Alerts stops working.. worst experience!

*2023-05-31*

I use to daily set alert for notifying me hoora.
But every alternate day. That setting will be automatically disabled.
And you need to go back to the app set again 
Alert for hoora.

Also, there is no support email or contact number.

### 1/5 — Useless app. Use planetaro app rather.

*2023-02-28*

I used this app quite a long time cz there was no alternative. But now I use planetaro which is superb way better. So just get rid of this useless app and go for planetaro a much better app. 

It’s completely useless app. It doesn’t show any notification when hora changes. Having that would be nice. It doesn’t have any Lock Screen widget option where it can show the current running hora. So basically it’s a good for nothing webpage which you yourself can put on the phone home screen from any better website. Unless it gives every hours hora change notification banner or alert or Lock Screen or Home Screen widget otherwise it’s just useless waste. So don’t bother to install it. Also it doesn’t show the current hora whether it is shubh or not. If you go to some other websites they show hora chart and one column whether it is shubh to do a particular work or not.

love it

### 5/5 — It meets my needs!

*2022-06-01*

I enjoy the option to have notifications when the hora changes. And to be able to look at the calendar for future dates to pick an hora.

### 5/5 — Keeping Astrology in every moment!

*2021-08-23*

I love this app! It helps me plan my day and most important appointments. It also keeps Astrology on my mind. I could always feel the different astrological energies changing throughout the day, but did not know exactly why until I had this app! This app has helped me to stay more closely connected with the astrological movements in the sky. I also love using the sound alerts and this has been a part of my daily life for a couple years now… Love it!
