A must-have app! This app is truly indispensable. I can understand English to some extent, so I can use it overall without much trouble, but when it comes to long texts, I have no choice but to rely on a translation app. Japanese language support would be greatly appreciated in the future—not only for the overall interface, but especially for the birth chart input screen. Currently, when I enter names or place names in Japanese, they appear as “???”, so I have to use English or Romanized characters instead. It would be much more convenient if Japanese input were properly supported.
I am also looking forward to the following kinds of updates in the future:
The AstroMap feature being able to be displayed with satellite images, like Google Maps. More variations in the wheel display, such as cute color options or a wheel where all 360-degree markings are clearly visible, like in the ARI horoscope. A function that makes it easy to recognize complex aspects such as Yods and T-squares. The ability to display a bi-wheel of the natal and harmonic charts on smartphones.
Please note that I used a translation app to write this review, so I apologize if any parts are unclear or awkward. Thank you very much for your understanding, and thank you for creating such a wonderful app!
I’m very happy that the midpoint list can now be viewed. Other features are also evolving rapidly, and this is an app that makes me look forward to future updates even more.
