Centaur Astrology

The app doesn't even load the first 10aecs into starting it and I have the latest update for it!

Pros: Nice interface. Easy to use. Good variety of house system, planet/point and aspect options. Cool features: send chart via email, aspect filtering by chart point, solar return chart, aspect grid, settings to show/hide chart points (planets, some asteroids, other points). Also included are interpretations by house and sign along with a database of events and famous people. Cons: Rising sign calculations are not correct. (I have only looked at USA charts, and they are off by more than 10 degrees in some cases. Planet points seem to be correct, however.) The chart wheel is difficult to read because the planet points are so small and the signs around the edge of the wheel are very faint. Ruling planets (modern) are listed along with the signs, which makes it challenging to quickly see what sign each planet/house falls in. There is no option to hide the ruling planets or to use traditional rulers. Biwheels are almost impossible to read because all of the points for both charts are listed in the same circle, and there is not an easy way to set up a biwheel for transits or solar return to the natal chart. There is also no option to calculate progressions. Bottom line: I would not recommend this app for anyone serious about astrology until the rising sign calculations have been fixed and the wheel display (especially the biwheel) has been improved.

Since this is the only app that actually creates a horoscope or astrological chart based upon your birth time, date and place I can't bag it too much but............the locations are very weird. Most have "Washington" after a city location. I think they mean USA but who can tell. Most don't apply to anyplace in the world I have ever heard of. Fortunately you can input longitude and latitude and make up a name for the location, as it won't save new locations. Also, the "common default location" stays fixed at GuangZhou, CHINA but that's just the name of the place. It will save your longitude and latitude so you can create default charts at one location and the program inputs the correct time. Other than these pretty strange bugs, it will create birth charts for any location you input. On the iPhone, you just need to google the location, longitude, latitude and input the date and time and store the chart under a number of preset categories.

I use it everyday to do peoples birthcharts and solar returns on the go!

It is the first professional Astrology software I found in app store. I had used similar PC software like Kepler, Winstar and Solar fire, I am so glad to see a professional software shown up on iPhone. One suggestion, the software should provide a way to let user to uses iPhone GPS to get the current location.

astrology is one of my Favourite when I was in high school,since I brought my iphone, I have hoped to find some kind of app like this one,now ,I finally got it.. it's very easy to use,UI is cool and handy,the best thing is it including all country's longitude and latitude it will be even better if can add BiWheel Chart in the future. thanks again,you make my dream coming true

While I know I would certainly give this application a much higher rating if its author actually kept his promises, I would now prefer to give Centaur Astrology half a star if I could do that. Back in January of this year, the author replied to my email request for him to include the sidereal zodiac, which is essential for practitioners of Indian astrology, a very important tradition. The author reassured me that this addition was coming soon. Subsequently, however, when the feature was not added, he refused to respond to my (always polite) emails on the matter. Please vote with your wallets and do *not* buy this app.

The charts generated by this program are very detailed. There is a bug with the "Here and Now" chart, however. It displays the place name of the developer instead of the actual location, and the latitude displays as East even though it was set as West. The chart appears to be calculated correctly, just the display is incorrect. I think the app also needs the ability to email the chart to yourself or others, mainly so it can be printed. Off to a good start though.
