Iphemeris Astrology Charts App Reviews

Thanks

iPhemeris is my favorite astrology app on the go. In particular the sky now feature, and ephemeris get looked at daily. Sky now is a wonderful tool for horary astrologers. The app is easy to use, is accurate, and probably most importantly it gets regular updates with new features. I’m hoping to see some future updates that maybe include a dignities and debilities table, and perhaps a list of fixed stars. Otherwise, this is the most complete astrology app for a mobile device that I’ve ever encountered. If your considering an astrology app for your phone, and you’re a serious astrologer, this app is for you!

I use this app on a daily basis. And I’m 90% happy with it, especially the charting capability. This is not a full-fledged **Edit: traditional** astrological software app. I Highly recommend this app for the mobile astrologer. ***NOTE: Over/hyperactive developer response to my original review. I gave 5 stars, but he responds as if given 1 star. Truth is, as a purely traditional astrologer, I find that this is not a “full-fledged app”. There are no additional lots (only Fortune), no bounds, no 12 parts. I know it’s too much to ask for ZR, and that’s ok, but this is a primarily a really good modern astrologers app.***

I’ve looked at astrology charts for over 40 years. I use this app almost every day, looking at what’s up with the sky now, other functions and doing charts. For personal use, family and friends. It works really well.

I have used it for years! Love it!!!

I like this app. I have used it for a few years now, and it has not let me down yet. Casting charts, tracking transits, doing composites and synastries - it does all that smoothly and easily. The built-in ephemeris is very useful too. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!

Incredible accuracy, moveable time by minute increments to years, programmable Sidereal or Tropical planetary locations. For upgrades you can also locate the later-discovered planet Eris, and all kinds of asteroids. The best astrologyapp as far as I can imagine.

This little app is my eyes to the sky. Knowing what is going on in the heavens is fantastic and when you can combine a nativity with the current aspects, well... it’s very convenient. Going backwards or forward on one nativity and the current transits, just speaks to the versatility and utility of this app.

I’ve been a teacher of astrology for nearly 15 years. This is an inexpensive app that really delivers. I highly recommend

Excellent app. Works really well. It would be nice to be able to animate charts and a few other things, but overall really great.

The chart is a little off which gives it an inaccurate reading. I’ve used other websites and there were the same compared to the app. It’s off by a few degrees. But the app itself is easy to use and colorful.

If only it showed receptions to make a Horary chart easier, I would be in love.

As a professional astrologer of over 30 years I really appreciate having this app on my phone-I especially like the ephemera feature with all the asteroids included.

The software is easy to use and always with me. The ephemeris goes back to 2500 BC, which is great because it allows me to include my historical research. The Place search function stopped working, but I’m sure they’ll fix the bug as the developer keeps adding features. I haven’t started using the desktop version, so I can’t say anything about that. Great product.

Hi, I just want to start off by saying that out of the three astrology Apps I’ve tried, yours is absolutely my favorite. The one things I was thinking that astrology apps could use is a sort of ‘Transit Calendar’ that gets loaded onto a saved chart. I guess that might be confusing so I’ll just explain something that I do with your app to clear things up. If you open up the calendar app on my phone and go to SEPT 19 there is an event that I had to manually add that I named MRC SQR JPT-N. This means that transiting Mercury is Squaring my Natal Jupiter. This event is set to alert me 5 minutes before the exact time I got from your app: 3:42 PM., then again at 3:42. My question for some time has been whether or not an app could load these transits into its own calendar section as well as alert the user the way my calendar does. This way I can have these ‘Transit Alarms’, but a computer could set them all up for me once it has my natal chart. Thanks for your work!! :)

What I love most is the simplicity and clean look. I’ve been studying a lot lately and keep charts up on the iPad while I’m reading about a chart. It’s easy to see everything that’s being discussed. Not over-cluttered, yet very flexible. Mr. Jobs would have been pleased with the sleek look and solid functionality.

This App is awesome. It’s aesthetically beautiful and very clear in the display on information. Great for professionals and lay people. So worth it!!

I would like this in Spanish

I use this app on a daily basis. And I’m 99% happy with it, especially the charting capability. This is not some full-fledged astrological software app. It’s basic but does the job of generating charts snd providing an ephemeris. The auto time zone feature is WiFi based, so if you try to load the time zone when there’s no service, you’ll get stuck waiting for the app to finish searching. I’ve set my time zone as the default, but the UTC offset doesn’t show, and for me it’s reassuring to see it to confirm that the chart is accurate, so the Find Timezone feature is useful. Chart selection can get tricky if your moving around a lot and opening and closing charts. Charts stay selected, so you’ll have to hunt down the selected chart(s) and deselect it before opening a different chart. I’d rather not lose the feature of the persistent chart selection because it is useful, but a ‘Clear Selected Chart’ button would be helpful. Highly recommend this app for the mobile astrologer.

I can’t say enough good things about this app. It is a truly professional tool in the palm of your hand. The elegant design combined with ease of use makes it my go to daily astrology software. I use it to cast and store all of my charts. It is so great to be able to have all that information with me wherever I go. Being able to meet someone, create a chart for them and then send them an email or text of that chart in moments is so amazing! The ephemeris lookup tool is so useful, and the sky now feature with the ability to easily move that or any chart backwards or forwards by weeks or minutes is an invaluable means of really seeing the ebb and flow of transits. Bravo! I hope this developer stays at it for a long, long time. I would be so sad to find the day when this app is no longer supported, and would in fact keep a dedicated older device just to keep using it if that day ever came. Please buy this app, and support this dev!!! You will love it!!!!

This is a useful app, but can someone confirm if there’s a discount on add-ons that contain features you already have, such as on the extended ephemeris if you’ve previously purchased the extra asteroids? Also, it would be extremely helpful to have the option to emphasize the angles (thicker lines for the horizon and meridian).

Love this app! Especially love ability to see 3 charts overlaid and go forward/back in time. Also love the Moon void of course. Of course, basic interpretations would be nice but probably more expensive. Definitely worth the price.

Great app for calculating charts, ephemeris, comparisons, etc. Basically anything you need to do you can. Very easy to read, excellent options (if a bit daunting at first). However, it would be good if one could see whether aspects are applying or separating (yes, you can figure it out, but a mark, like an a or s next to the degree is helpful), and it would also be good if the app did not demand reviews on such a frequent basis.

Great program, except with the recent update I crash every time I try to get the time zone updated for a new location for aimed solar return charts. This means one is unable to create charts. The sooner you can fix this the better. Before this update everything was great. Now I’m just waiting for the program to be fixed.

Love this app, have used it for years. But would like the functionality of being able to input lat/long coordinates by hand instead of relying only on map function. The map itself is buggy and is often useless when the client is born in a very small or rural place. Otherwise, thanks to the developer for an awesome, useful and indispensable app!

Fast chart making for the novice or professional. Truly a joy to see a chart in less than a minute. I used to make charts by hand and ephemeris which took over an hour to create. Thanks for the app. I love it ...... Marc :-)

Documentation fails to explain bizarre output like the fact that you can’t get exact aspects timing on any of the calendars, only the timing as per the orb. So for example say you want to see when the Full Moon will occur, you’ll only see when the Moon is opposite the Sun within the set orb - not exact. Pretty display but poor interface that doesn’t match the basics of chart examination.

Would be great if the app synced between devices and allowed for more customization. I would love to see the hours incorporated into the app as well. But, all in all, love the ephemeris and use it frequently.

Super easy to use and navigate. Like that you can progress charts so easily, multiple house systems. Visually very good. The only thing that I haven't figured out is if there is a way to take away some of the aspect lines on charts. The charts can look cluttered when you're looking at transits and progressions.

Even though I have a full-featured astrology program on a laptop, I think iPhemeris is more convenient to use. I can make, retrieve and compare charts easily, and I love the tri-wheel layout (in-app purchase). iPhemeris has lots of possibilities for customizations. I've downloaded and deleted other substandard astrology apps, but this one is a keeper.

I like having a pocket ephemeris on my phone to whip out and pull up a chart when I need one. I’m an astrologer and this app hasn’t failed me yet! Thanks for keeping it up!!

I love that I have any (old or new) Astrological Chart with me at all times... This app can get as detailed as you want.., I keep it simple... (Stephen Arroyo)... And it never disappoints.. Want to check your transits... Want a comparison or composite chart.. No problem.. Love it! July '17....It's a year later... and I wanted to add... I still love this... I use it all the time. It is SO convenient... I just wanted to check a transit... It's all here.. right now... wherever I am.... in my phone! A few seconds later I have it!! Recently, I was hiking with a friend, who was curious about something in her life... I was able to look up her chart, right then, while we were out on the trail... and we were able to resolve her issue.... Thank you iPhemeris

this app is perfect for daily astrology reference and chart-reading! I’ve been using it for a few years and the ability to advance and rewind transits overlaid the chart (and overlaid synastry!) has deepened my understanding of the motion of the planets over time. My one wish would be for the “Sky Now” and chart view screens to have the option to also display the sidereal zodiac as an outer rim to the tropical zodiac for quick comparison across systems. As it is I can do the mental calculations well enough on the fly, but the usefulness of the app is one of its strongest suits and I think that addition would broaden its usefulness to a wider body of astrologers. Excellent app, 5/5 regardless.

Very useful tool!

I really wish it were possible to download a stripped down version for those of us still using older devices with small hard drives. It takes up over 600mb on mine, which is a lot on my phone. I just use it for the ephemeris and running an occasional chart. Still a fantastic app, though.

Very accurate for a small, convenient astrology application for IOS. Good to create and store charts on the fly. Plus, it provides good storage for often used charts. Gives a good range of chart and house systems, and aspect choices. The transit and progression features are easily mastered. Both are usually only found in robust, not mobile applications. The ephemeris is presented in a visually comfortable way. Parallels of declination and moon void of course are very useful for me. I would like to see moon’s applying aspects added for horary use. I would pay extra for this feature.

I like to read my chart daily and there is something natural about having the chart on a piece of glass that you can touch. To my way of thinking, astrology is most natural as a tablet app, since you can hold it in your hand and move around the chart by touch. I do have a few minor quibbles with the way it is implemented. For example having the current chart on a bi-wheel with the Natal chart makes for a bit of a mess in the middle where it draws all of the aspects as lines. I would prefer it if instead you touched a planet and it highlighted the aspects that would be so much more elegant. The other quibble is an annoyance because if the iPad screen goes to sleep it quits out of the chart you are in. It didn't used to do that! Still the program works and, compared to fully fledged computer apps it is very affordable and a good buy for someone who just needs to see a chart or a bi-wheel

I give this app five stars keep up the excellent work. The iOS Sky Now is my favorite tool on this app.

detailed customization, all the functions I need and more, visually appealing, clear and easy to follow, instant message support right in the app... this has it all, well worth the price, I use it every day and couldn't imagine being without it!!!

I use it constantly and it is functional and powerful. The developer is also responsive and great about questions. The only thing on my wish list for the app would be the ability to do planetary returns in addition to solar and lunar returns. I can get there eventually by playing with the wheel but I would find it useful to look at chart ruler returns!

This is a great app! Never crashed, no problems. It's accurate, as I checked it up against my computer software(solarfire w/ Swiss ephemeris).

Really excellent software for an excellent price. I use it at least once a day, if not more. Great for the professional astrologer. Also appreciate that each new major update includes another significant feature. Would like to see some written report capabilities for clients - they really enjoy having those available.

Some friends of mine in the astrological community have been urging me to get this app - I am fairly anti-technology and keep handwritten lists of everyone's chart in a notebook. I finally decided to get it, mainly so I could have an easy way to track transiting planets. Now that I have it I'm such a big fan. IPhemeris is very thorough, multifaceted, easy to use and I love how customizable it is. What a blessing to have all this information so neatly compiled and readily available. I recommend it 100% to any student of astrology.

For me, this is the app to have. I have others, but this is the best, and my go-to app for astrology. The new features are great, and was happy to purchase, since I believe developers should be rewarded for their good work. I am happy to support the developer and also purchased the Mac version, which is another great app.

See above.

Functional, accurate calculations, with useful features. Highly appreciate this app as a reference (ephemeris) as well a useful tool to cross reference transits with a chart. Surprisingly well designed compared to other much less effective apps I've also purchased. Thank you to the designers. Updating my review to again state that how useful this app is, and to express surprise that not more users are reviewing. This is one of the few apps I use that operates as both a reference (the ephemeris), and a functional tool to quickly view transits and their aspects in a birth or event chart. Highly rate this app!!!

This is a great app that continues to improve, new features keep showing up. App is really clean with lots of diversity and is getting quite powerful. Bi, Tri, and Composite wheels, Midpoints, Graphic Ephemeris all with Transits or not. Also you can time adjust any chart in the wheel. No frills, lots of information. Thanks

I was working fine - cannot find support

I am just getting started with the program and am very impressed. Being able to watch the chart change by increments of a minute, ten minutes, an hour, etc. Is just what I was looking for. I am very grateful. Thanks! Just one puzzling thing so far: For some reason it doesn't seem to get the placement of Eris correct. In the first chart I did, it placed it in Libra in 1964, when astrodienst and other software I use places it in Aries. Edit: Thanks for your quick response. OK, I see I was looking at the wrong symbol. What is the symbol that looks like an upside down Venus?

This is a great app. When I see "in app purchases," I usually don't buy the app. This one I bought before there were in app purchases, and it's super useful without the additions. Massive data. Love it UI too. I'd love to compare the composite chart to each in the relationship individually. Maybe someday. Anyway, 5 stars.

It is perfect astrologers.

I've downloaded so many astrology apps looking for the most user friendly software that is packed with features. This is the best app for quick looks at the current chart (sky now) and your personal transit calendar.

Hey, if you're into astrology, I'd bet you'd like this app. It is just as powerful as the desktop programs and portable for on the go reference of transits, progressions, etc. All in all an excellent app worthy of purchase for the those of us who desire a portable version of in-depth chart analysis.

I love having all this info at my finger tips.

I love it!!!!

Personally, I think there are many wonderful features of this helpful app, I love it! It makes everything so easy and right at one's fingertips: making charts, checking aspects, progressions in an instant, exact ephemeris, comparing charts, comparing your chart with the "now", and your progressed chart, and many other nifty features for the beginner or pro ( I'm neither ). Astrological books ( in large part ) are anachronisms.

Would be so awesome if you could have some kind of resource or chart within the app to understand the glyphs. There is an asteroid currently at 19 degrees in Virgo, and I have searched Google in every possible way to find out what it is with no luck. And it's not like I can just key the glyph on a keyboard. Seriously, Google asteroid glyphs and try to find it. You won't. All the other glyphs are easy to find and understand, just not that one. Please don't assume everyone who enjoys your app is a professional astrologer, some are merely astrology enthusiast. Otherwise this is really an awesome app.

This is a great app. I use it all the time. I’m have several charts set up (all the people i am close to) and I refer to it often in my astrology studies.

Add icarus please

I haven’t been able to figure out how to get my astrology chart into the system I’m not an astrologer but like to follow my transits if you can tell me how I would appreciate it. 4-15-47 Ely Nevada Latitude 39 N. 15 minutes longitude 114 W. 54 minutes S.t.=0:02’38” 10:10AM pst Thanks

I use this app everyday to check some event correlation or relationship connection. I’m not an astrologer but feel like one with all the layers ... aspects, midpoints, and ephemera, available with this app. Love it!

An ephemeris is a life tool that everyone can benefit from. Understanding where the planets are, now and then, can help one to know oneself and others better. This app is much more convenient to carry around then the several volumes it replaces. It’s other functions are so great there isn’t enough room on this review to sing all its praises.

As a professional astrologer, I love this App. Having the ability to do a chart on my iPad in minutes, including progressions, is fabulous. Thanks!

Pretty good app for the price, comes in handy.

A well-curated set of features that makes it easy to use on the go. An affordable alternative to expensive desktop apps cluttered with research tools used less often. I use both phone and tablet, and it's so convenient for sending charts to the printer using wifi.

Just the ability to have an emphemeris at my fingertips is amazing, but this program/app has so much more that enhances user interface.
