Are they good enough for when you’re on the go? Probably. Are these apps sufficient for research purposes? No.

TIMEPASSAGES PRO APP SOFTWARE
Can you work with a client using this software and get them the same professional level reading that you could with Solar Fire/Sirius at home on your desktop computer or laptop? Perhaps, depending on what you’re looking at. However, they do actually compliment each other quite nicely and the graphics are good. Transits, Solar Arcs, Secondary Progressions, Solar Returns. These are about as good as it gets, folks. Recommendation #2) Buy an iPad, iPhone or iPod and purchase two apps: Astro Gold by Esoteric Technologies AND Time Passages Pro by Astrograph.
TIMEPASSAGES PRO APP ANDROID
I know, this article is supposed to be about the Android and Apple mobile tablet and phone markets but I had to get this out there!
TIMEPASSAGES PRO APP PC
Recommendation #1) If you simply must have professional level software on a tablet, then the best thing that you can do at this point is to invest in a Windows Surface or similar/adequate PC based tablet that can run the aforementioned software. I’m not going to get into web based options here–yes, I know there are some good ones out there but they just don’t approach what you can do with programs like the ones mentioned above.

Programs like Solar Fire, Sirius, Janus, Win*Star and Time Passages (also there’s a Mac version). What are the professional software programs that are available today and what operating system are they on? Invariably, the vast majority of your choices, in fact nearly all of them, are for the PC. You can use this kind of software for just about any astrological purpose, including but not limited to astrological research. Before I start, though, let me define professional astrology software: this is software that very nearly does it all: transits, progressions of all types, directions of all types, returns, graphs, search options, bi, tri and quadwheels, all of the house systems and sidereal zodiacs, harmonics, relocation, astromapping, ancient and modern techniques, tabulations, fixed stars, parans, ephemeris/aspectarian/calendar generating, interpretations, various reports and the list goes on and on. I’ll start with my recommendations and elaborate briefly why I’m saying what I’m saying about them. But this article will only focus on the typical Western astrology side of things. As far as Vedic astrology goes, there are many of those programs out there on the Android marketplace and there may be some that are really good.

And, by the way, I’m talking about astrology software for tablets and phones, Apple and Android only. To help those, like me, who are absolutely frustrated with this situation. But there are some that come close–in certain ways–and that is another confusing and little understood topic in and of itself–that’s why I’m writing this article. There really isn’t a single pro level astrology software program out there for the Apple iOS or Android worlds. If you were to ask me which professional level astrology software program (app) could I buy for for the Apple or Android market, then I would have to regrettably confess that there aren’t any.
