A warning is given when clicking one of the buttons that you should go to full landscape. To be specific the buttons at the bottom of the Full Landscape Options/View are disabled when selecting/tapping its icon from the main menu. Why? Because the Full Landscape Options/View should be selected after the full landscape option (left-slanted double headed arrow - top of screenshot) is selected/tapped.

It depends. If the bug report comes with screenshots and a way to replicate the bug, I will fix asap, probably the same day. Note that once I deploy it to Apple they take about 6-12 hours (or less) to release it to the app store after they review AC. They are a lot quicker these days.

For all types of charts.Please note Synastry comparison charts are bi-wheels by default as are Antiscia charts. Gauquelin charts are by default natal. Bi-wheel is therefore not applicable.

Yes, if you mean can the outer wheel be moved (while the inner chart remains stationary) by whatever time scale is chosen.For example, if a secondary progressed (Naibod by long) chart is selected as a bi-wheel, the outer chart is progressed using that time scale, as would be expected.Apart from Returns and Synastry comparison charts. These cannot be animated in that way. However, Return charts can be saved (as radix charts) which allows them to be animated. Saving a Return chart

The most likely reason is that the orb setting is too small. By default AC's orb setting for a transit bi-wheel is one degree. Similarly, this orb size is used for many bi-wheels. To change the Transit or Returns bi-wheel Orb go to Chart Calculations/Miscellaneous and change there.

Yes, AstroConnexions is Ad free. And always will be.No analytics are incorporated into AC. Many apps send data from their app with details of when and how you use it. AC does not.

Here's a summary of the methods provided by AC to import you chart files from other astrology programs.

No. They are classed as Natal/Radix charts, therefore, they use the natal chart (variable) orbs for single-wheel charts, and (fixed) orbs for bi-wheel charts. Variable orbs - this means that an orb for a square may be set at 8 degrees, whilst a sextile may be set at 4 degrees, etc. For bi-wheels, the setting is fixed often at 1 degree, so that a square orb is the same as a sextile orb.

AC's documentation refers to variable and fixed orbs. What does that mean? Variable orbs - this means that an orb for a square may be set at 8 degrees, whilst a sextile may be set at 4 degrees, etc. Used by Natal/Radix charts. An antiscia chart may have a fixed or variable orb setting. For bi-wheels, the setting is fixed often at 1 degree, so that a square orb is the same as a sextile orb. For secondary progressions and solar arc, etc. This is common astrological practice, I believe.

These aspects are what's happening in the sky at any given moment.

Don't own an iPad? Want to use AstroConnexions? I recommend the iPad Air 2 or the new 9.7" iPad. AC works best with 9.7" iPads. However the 10.2" looks good and the 11" iPad pro is excellent. iPad 2 is NOT recommended.

I've got 2 iPads. Are my saved AC chart files shared? Or another way of putting it would be: if I save a chart file on one device will I be able to load it on the other? No. Each instance of the app has its own separate database. Of course AC chart files can be exported to DropBox and then imported into AC which goes some way in alleviating the lack of shared/common chart files. 1. Export AC chart files from iPad #1 to dropbox. Note AC chart files are copied, not moved, to your dropbox. 2. Import AC files from dropbox into iPad #2. That's it. Done.

No. But. A free dropbox account - which you will have to get yourself - is necessary for import and export. Get DropBox account (US)

No. Are there any in-app purchases or other things to buy after I have purchased AC? No.

No.

That depends. If you are an influential or popular astrologer, probably.If you have an influential or popular astrology website, probably.Otherwise, no. A promo code is an Apple generated code issued by the developer of an app to various people to help promote their app. They get the app for free. Often also issued to interested friends and relatives. This is what you would get if you were given a free copy of AC. It includes all future updates. It's Identical to the paid app. A promo code relates only to the version of the app that the code was generated for. Once an app update is released, all previous unused promo codes become invalid. Each code is valid for 28 days after it was requested by the developer and can only be used once. Please request a promo code if you think you qualify. Use email support.

iPad and Mac only. iPhone version coming soon: see: AC for the iPhone AC is ready for silicon (M1/M2/M3) Macs. iF you bought the iPad version this version can be downloaded free on any silicon Mac. If you do not have the iPad version of AC the Mac versions is £19.99. Knowledge Base - AC on a Mac

One, me. Roger Pearson. It keeps things simple.

No natal chart analysis, but ver 2.41 has aspect analysis for progressed and directed charts to the radix (not every aspect though). AC Knowledge Base - Reports/Analysis

No - not yet. AC is specifically designed for the iPad in landscape orientation. AC for the iPhone is coming soon. AC for the iPhone

Where can I find the Decans?      

Only the AC app is updated. Your data, settings and charts do not get altered.

Note that the plain chart does not show Terms or Triplicities as it would be impractical to do so.

Bi-wheel's do not show the Terms or Triplicities. Screenshot taken from AC ver 2.28 From AC ver 2.28 there is a full landscape view of the Essential Dignities and Debilities of the planets, view #9.

Once installed or updated via wi-fi from the Apple app store AC does not require wi-fi or to be connected to the internet, except for:

• Finance Graph, view #6
• Fixed Stars table web link
• AC routines that require a connection to dropbox, eg exporting or importing chart files.

and the various web links to other web sites for help/explanation, mainly skyscript. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/ This is possible because AC connects to a SQLite database (installed by AC) on your iPad to store and retrieve data and does not rely on external servers. Access to this database is only available via AC or a Mac with your authorisation.

No. AC can only be legally purchased via the iOS Apple app store. For those interested Apple take 15% of AC's selling price, and then there's VAT if applicable.

Is AC or its author affiliated with any astrological organisation? No.

Sorry, no. Is the website available in any language other than English? Sorry, no.

Bi-wheels use an overriding orb often 1 degree. Individual orbs work for natal/radix charts.

You want to look at a number of charts without opening each one to the main page. Can this be done? Yes See: Knowledge Base - Browse Charts

No. AC is specifically designed for landscape orientation. AC for the iPhone is portrait orientation only

The position of POF and POS depends on the setting found here: astroconnexions.com/knowledgebase/lots-or-parts/ Their positions will be reversed depending on the settings: Different Day or Night/Fixed.

Thinking of getting an old iPad? Used iPad 2's can be bought for as little as £65.00 from eBay. AC can't be be used on an iPad 2.The iPad 2, although a great iPad in its day is now approx 11 years old, and can't be upgraded past iPadOS 9.35. AC requires iPadOS 11 minimum. Better to get a more recent iPad, such as an iPad Air 2. From about £145.00 on eBay. (June 2020)

Yes. This mainly applies to iPad Pro's. Always make sure that the default setting is used.

My charts always show the Sun on the ASC! Why? You probably have Solar Charts ticked. Look at the bottom of the Default Settings.

Relocate a transit chart? Yes, from AC version 2.81.

This is the way AC works, and most other astro software. All charts are calculated from the natal/radix chart. Their data is not directly editable. But.... Transit charts can be relocated. Return charts can be relocated. Which is what most users have asked for. Note that all calculated charts have their data listed in the speculum.

Very much so. Often their functions are identical. However most views have had to reduced for iPhone due to the limited display size. Full landscape articles do not apply to the iPhone
