## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Will not allow you

*2023-03-12*

To open it closes immediately.

**Developer response:** The app works perfectly. Make sure you gave the app the necessary permissions for it to work.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2025-07-04*

Only allows the location you are in ~ cannot look up or save any other locations

**Developer response:** With version 2.0 this has been changed. Now you can…

### 4/5 — Notification Issues

*2026-05-18*

The notifications don't work - or there is no notification function at all. I want my phone to notify me with certain planetary shifts and that option isn't available. There's an area where notifications can be setup, but there are no push notification options at all. Otherwise, cool app!

**Developer response:** Notifications do work — they're part of premium. In Settings
you'll find toggles for per-planetary-hour alerts (Venus,
Mercury, and so on), Moon Phases, Zodiac Changes (the Moon
entering a new sign), and Void of Course. If they aren't
firing after subscribing, also check that notifications are
allowed for the app in iOS Settings.

You're right that we don't yet have alerts for "planets"
entering new signs (Sun, Mercury, Venus, etc.) — it's
something we're planning to add. For retrograde alerts
specifically, we have a separate app: Planetary Retrogrades.

Our recent 2.04 update (it seems you are using 2.03) brings void-of-course into the Upcoming
Events timeline, a richer per-eclipse detail view, and a
better Moon tab and also better notifications. Thank you

### 4/5 — Excellent app

*2025-08-12*

Fantastic widget with start and end time plus a countdown timer which I find essential.  Plus it notifies you by pop up and vocally says the planet at the beginning of the hour.  The layout of the app itself is admirable and intuitive.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-06-06*

Excellent explanatory planetary hour& moon phase
