Ratings and reviews

This has enough to get one started in serious study of Astrology because of its calculation power. Most of the important modern and ancient ones are here however, the visual aspect is less pleasing. Any kind of comparative chart, e.g. Natal vs Transits, is messy to look at as both points sets and their aspects are drawn together inside the chart. Needs more colour, export, and print options. A redesign might help as free rivals look better, and offer almost as much, eg Planetdance.

I give 5 stars for having a good working astrology program for the Android Smartphone! I do wish that you had a manual so I didn't have to look around and explore as much as I have to...If you take time to look around and explore, you will find many features that you will like to help you do all kind of charts. Do I need to upgrade to be able to do charts that are for before the 1800's?

Love this app! It has more personalization options than Solar Fire (Astro Gold) in Android format. Options for selecting out-of-sign orbs, locking wheel at 0° Aries, personalizing aspect orbs & charting applying vs separating aspects are included. Even with setting options wish degree numbers were larger & located along with larger planetary glyphs on the same page instead of charted with smaller glyphs. Otherwise great app. Responses by developer to questions are typically prompt & informative.
