Why is the Full Landscape Setting Disabled?

From ver 2.28 these buttons are not disabled. However they still cannot be used to show the selected full landscape views. 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.

I've found a bug. What should I do?

Email Support

If I report a bug how long will it take before it's fixed?

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.

Where's the Synastry Button?

What are the red/black stars on the chart?

Fixed stars in conjunction, by long or parallel, to planets or points.

I want to 'progress' a horary chart (for a day or hour) in real-time. How?

Given that a natal or horary chart is fixed, how is this possible?

Easy. Just tap the advance in time button once and the chart will change to a transit chart with the same date/time/place of the horary chart. Now you can advance/progress the chart in real-time.

Go forward/backward in time buttons

See: Advance chart in real-time

There's a feature I'd like to see implemented. What do I do?

Ask me.

It may not happen for a few weeks or months, but if it's something that other people would find useful I'm sure it would get implemented.

What bi-wheels are available?

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.

Can chart bi-wheels be animated?

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.

Midpoints?

Aspects for midpoints are calculated for all charts.

Is AstroConnexions Advert free?

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.

What's the best method for exporting my chart files (from other astrology apps) into AC?

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

Import Menu with explanation

Are there individual orbs settings for Eclipse and Ingress charts?

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.

Variable and fixed Orbs?

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.

What are Transit to Transit aspects?

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

What type of iPad do you recommend?

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.

iPad 2 is NOT recommended.

iPad 2 - will AC run on this iPad? Yes, but...

Thinking of getting an old iPad? Used iPad 2's can be bought for as little as £65.00 from eBay.

The iPad 2, although a great iPad in its day is now approx 9 years old, and can't be upgraded past iOS 9.35.

AC is a somewhat sluggish on an iPad 2 but still usable - with no features missing.

My thinking is that when it becomes too difficult to support an iPad 2 (for many reasons - maybe lack of support from Apple will be the main cause) I will develop AstroConnexions 2. AC will continue to work on the iPad 2 as long as Apple allow this. AC 2 will work on more recent versions of iOS. This is speculative.

Do I recommend buying a used iPad 2 for AC? No. Better to get a more recent iPad, such as an iPad Air 2. From about £145.00 on eBay. (June 2020)

I've got 2 iPads. Are my saved AC chart files shared?

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 to your dropbox. 2. Import AC files from dropbox into iPad #2. That's it. Done.

Do I need anything else once I've purchased AC?

No.

But. A free dropbox account - which you will have to get yourself - is necessary for import and export.

Get DropBox account (US)

Are there any in-app purchases or other things to buy?

No.

Are there any in-app purchases or other things to buy after I have purchased AC?

No.

Is there a free, demo or lite version of AC?

No.

Can I get a free copy of AC?

That depends.

If you are an influential or popular astrologer, probably.

If you have an influential or popular astrology website, probably.

Otherwise, no.

Is there an iPhone, Android, MS Windows, Mac, on-line or Linux version of AC?

No. iOS, iPad only

But, when iOS merges with the Mac OS a version for the Mac may happen.

How many people are involved in programming/developing AC?

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

Are any Reports or Analysis of charts or aspects available?

No chart analysis, but a later version, ver 2.30 will have aspect analysis for progressed and directed charts to the radix (not every aspect though).

AC Knowledge Base - Reports/Analysis

Can I use AC on the iPhone?

No. AC is specifically designed for the iPad in landscape orientation.

Decans?

Where can I find the Decans?

Wheel Choice for Decans

Wheel Type and Decans

Updating AC from the Apple App store. Will I lose any data?

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

Terms or Bounds and Triplicities?

Terms/Trip Settings

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.

AC and wi-fi. Does AC need wi-fi?

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 on your iPad to store and retrieve data and does not rely on external servers

Can I purchase AC directly from the developer? Or from another web site?

No. AC can only be legally purchased via the iOS Apple app store.

For those interested Apple take 30% of the selling price, and then there's VAT if applicable.
