Anything for a quick buck
Loved the original TimePassages app, got the lifetime full access for one time purchase of $30 back in 2015. Didn't realize a lifetime is only 10 years! And us legacy members only get ONE year of pro access then we have to pay $60 a YEAR? C'mon. As good as the app is, full access is frankly not good enough for that price. Seasoned and new astrologers alike can put just a smidge more effort and find and synthesize all of this for free elsewhere, which is what I'm doing once my bogus one year free consolation prize ends.
Removed Features (Free Version)

TimePassages Astrology
I used to think this was a really good app! It was nice being able to not have to pay for something when I just wanted to know small things but suddenly they added a free just to be able to see my birth chart and horoscope it defeats the whole purpose of why I wanted the app in the first place. Deleting it bc why am I gunna start paying for it when that’s exactly what I was avoiding and why I recommended this app so much
infuriating app
why am i prompted to log in multiple times a day? i’m paying a ridiculous amount of money for this app after you forced the transition from the previous version. you are a corrupt and crooked app developer and you should be ashamed of yourselves.
inaccurate location
how do you not have listed the main city in guatemala? nor any other main city listed correctly? I get it’s not America, but how can you be so off with a whole country.
Another Subscription…
Ok app but I paid $30 for a full version, only for a new app with a subscription model to be pushed forth, now the old app is no longer supported or even showing up on the app store, even though I paid $30 for it if I ever need to get a new phone it will disappear altogether; in lieu of buying the new and improved, which isn’t really feeling all too new… Whack! Just get some computer astrology software and keep the free version of this on your phone…
Paying for Daily Horoscopes?
The new update made it 0.99 cents to access the DAILY horoscope (which is the reason a lot of us got this app in the first place). Lost a user today because there’s no point in paying a dollar for EVERY daily horoscope… this is crazy and disappointing.
Sad
Very sad I really thought I was going to like this app but it wouldn’t even let me create and account I tried everything from Apple to google to creating my own log in with email disappointed
Used to be free but now you need a subscription
Title
Disappointed
Everything important is behind a paywall. I’ll stick to time passages pro that was a one time fee….
What happened?
I set up my account, added all my info including scrolling way back to put in my birthdate, came up with a secure password and when I looked at my chart, right away I knew something was wrong because my moon sign was incorrect. After A GREAT DEAL of searching, I found the issue. My birth year had been saved as 2026. I change my birth year to the correct date, it gives me an error message saying previously purchased charts will be erased and need to be re purchased. Ok. I hadn’t yet purchased anything. I say ok. I go to look at this great, highly regarded app and NOW I HAVE TO BUY MY BIRTHCHART. there was an issue with the app saving accurately. Users should not be penalized for that. I’m bummed. I was excited to try this app out and compare to co-star.
No keyboard to input text
The entire app is broken and poorly made… there is no keyboard to input any text anywhere lol
PAY to see your own birth chart?!
Absolutely ridiculous that they’re now asking money for BASIC chart information you can get for free on Astrodienst. Deleted app and WILL NOT USE OR PAY.
I loved this app until now…
Update March 2026: I canceled my subscription. Frankly, the treatment of legacy users is nothing short of despicable. I already discussed how much I despise the scam that is Software As A Service, but now let’s talk about customer care.
To say it was a joke would be putting it kindly. They have disregarded the feedback they received from many of us who merely wanted what we had originally paid for. Their new app is terrible. It is not nearly as user friendly nor is it as intuitive. The emails I received in reply to my feedback essentially said, “We’re sorry you’re choosing to focus on the negative. You got a free trial! We don’t care about retaining your business because you won’t be making us enough money.”
It was great while it lasted, but you don’t need subscriptions for everything. I’m going back to… books. Yep. Books. No one can take physical copies from you, alter them, etc. and that, friends, is now priceless.

I am a legacy user. I paid a flat fee in 2012 and have happily been using TimePassages as my go-to astrology app. I get that things change, but I hate software as a service. Worked for a firm that did it. Despised it. That would be one thing, but it’s been months, the year is almost over and I STILL can’t migrate my legacy charts to this new app. Also, I’m finding it interesting that whilst playing with the new app my compatibility score with someone that has been what it is for 12 years is now suddenly different on the new app. I can get behind change, but as valuable as TimePassages has been, the new version is rather a disappointment. Please get it together. Being stuck in limbo with the end of the year deadline looming is not inspiring confidence.

From user owned to subscription based gouge
I’ve used time passages for about the last 6 years because it was a nice, albeit very basic app to have on my phone when i wanted to take a quick look on the go at a chart away from my computer, where i have proper astrological software.
I happily paid the purchase price of $29.99 to have on-the-go very, very basic information on my phone. Transit reads, planet placements etc are not great, but that’s to be expected as a general overview will never replace an in person, real-live Astrology consultation with a good Astrologer.
I will not, however use or recommend this app since they are switching to subscription model. I have already sent emails about it and did the user feedback. I’m done.
The “own nothing and you’ll be happy” model may have been fashionable and a way to squeeze more money out of consumers who are unaware of how much they are spending for less and less, but it will not last. Mark my words a backlash is coming. The sooner the better.
I have zero issue with companies and individuals making lots of money and earning substantial profit, but I do take issue with the nuances of HOW that is accomplished.
There are much better apps that are not subscription based out there. I’ll be using those.

Annoyed.
I bought this app when it came out 4 years ago. I had access to everything and for as many people as I wanted to, as well as seeing all of my transits…, it was all included in my purchase. Fast forward to a year ago, they decided to change it over to a subscription, I kept my version I originally paid for but they took all of the charts (along with everyone’s birth info)off of my app. That’s fine, I was fine just looking at my own chart. Fast forward to today.. I got a notice that I had to update the app, so I did… nothing synced over so I put my info in again…okay that’s fine, BUT NOW I EITHER HAVE TO PAY MONTHLY OR PER FEATURE. When I paid for the original app it was $19.99 forever. It wasn’t per year, per chart, per nothing. I’m really tired of tech companies literally taking something away from you that you purchased, and just changing the terms. In what other market do you buy something but the company gets to take it back because they think they can make more money if you pay for it again or even 12 times over. Keep your app, I hope nobody subscribes.
added paywalls
This used to be my favorite app because it was free, it told me a lot about me that I didn’t know, and was pretty user friendly. But today I log in and see the SAME things I used to click on EVERY DAY for free now have to be paid for!!!! I’m so upset because I loved this app. I hate that they did this. I don’t want to pay for something that used to be free. I Want to rage it one star I’m so annoyed at this. 🙄
Great app, until they started charging out of nowhere
I’ve had this app for years. I really liked it - it’s very in-depth, I like that you compare composite charts and synastry charts. However the gradual micro-transactions that the devs have pushed over the years have ruined it. I’ve had to “one-time purchase” the same charts for the same people multiple times. Today the app must’ve updated and it wants me to “one-time purchase” my OWN chart or upgrade to the “pro”. No way.
Used to be better
I used to love this app, and have used it for many years, but it doesn’t work well anymore. Just casting a future transit chart is an exercise in frustration. I will start looking to see what else is available. Too bad.
Payment To See Your Own Birth Chart & Horoscope
I only just downloaded this app two days ago, but I’m not seeing it as being worth keeping. Most features are locked behind a paywall and you can’t even view your own birth chart or horoscope without paying for it first, which is ridiculous. There are many good sites available that have this information for free, so I’d recommend those instead.
Still not working right!
I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled this app four times over the past month and a half. Still not correct on dates with transits! Luckily, I know how to read my chart. The fact that it says 5/4 on a moon transit that is exact this evening 5/6 is so irritating!
What is it gonna take to get this app working correctly?

had access to my chart before, but not now
after the newest update, I have to pay to see basically everything I had access to before the update. A lesson for the developers, don’t take away access to something that used to be free- I will not be using this app any longer
Update made it unusable
I love this app. It’s super helpful and easy to use. After an update, it stopped working as it should, meaning that I cannot read the explanations in their entirety anymore no matter which mode my iPad is in. Customer service was great, though the issue has not been fixed. So I’ll have to get rid of this app, which stinks because I like it better than others, but it’s fairly useless if I cannot read it.
Miss the old Time Passages
I had Time Passages for years and now with the new one it is impossible to get signed in. Jumped thru every hoop they required so will delete the whole mess.
Lilith chart missing
Not all of the chart infos are here! Where are the house numbers and black moon Lilith?
Deleted all my date
I loved this app but when I opened it today, I was signed out and when I signed back in, all my data was wiped and it said I had to give all the information again. I tried signing in with my email, google, and apple and all three ways were the same, no information saved. Very disappointed as I had paid for the ability to add and compare multiple birth charts.
