Description
The Planet Wheel is a compact and convenient tool to help you track the planets of the Solar System through the sky. The main 'wheel' display shows you the positions of the Sun, Moon and all the major planets at a glance, and the app also includes a starmap to show you how to find the planets against the background of stars.
The Planet Wheel app is an interactive version of the popular service on the Electronic Sky Website, with a host of extra features to help you find your way around the Solar System.
Use the Planet Wheel to:
- Quickly identify a planet in the sky
- Check the location and visibility of the planets, or the Moon
- Locate Solar System objects on a starmap
- Look back or forward in time up in a range of two hundred years
- See which constellations are most visible
- Check the Moon's phase
Planet Wheel Features:
- The main Planet Wheel display gives you a simple way of checking which planets are visible, and the best time of night to look for them.
- The Starmap feature maps the planets against the background of stars, and also shows you which constellations are visible at any time of year.
- Both the Planet Weel and Starmap views include animated displays: hold down the animation buttons to watch the Sun, Moon and planets travel across the sky, forwards or backwards in time.
- See the positions of the planets for any date and time from 1900 to 2100.
- The Planet Wheel provides full access to online resources on the Electronic Sky Website.

MarLunk,
Hoping for an update with settings
Great app! I realize that this app shows the actual amount of space that the constellations take up from our perspective on earth but was also hoping to switch back and forth from this view to a Western Tropical Zodiac display of the signs with each sign fitting neat into 30 degrees portions of the sky. The precession or “the wobble” of the earths orbit was discovered by the Greek astronomer Hipparchus in BC times and written about by Astrologer Claudius Ptolemy in the Hellenistic era. Even though the original observations of the constellations informed what were believed to be characteristics of the Signs of the Zodiac, it was deemed more important to keep the Astrology locked into the Equinoxes and Solstices. Because amount of light, length of day and seasonal changes were considered more important in this geocentric system than our shifting view of the stars. Most astrologers in India use the Sidereal Zodiac which is locked onto the constellations and not the Equinoxes and Solstices. This system is also not perfect because it also uses 30 degrees for each of the different sized constellations. The reason I believe it would be beneficial to include Zodiac options in your settings is because of the thousands of years of history associated with these beliefs. After all thousands of years ago people did a lot more sky gazing. Anyway I wouldn’t be the only one that would appreciate this being an option and your app would become far more popular. Also you are using the Aries glyph to represent the lunar north node which is going to confuse people. Cheers
SF Presidio,
Fun and worth the investment
This an enjoyable way to understand time. It is a great gift for anyone of any age interested in the stars. It is also very handsome and a great addition to your IPhone.

Great app but could be better
RA and declination are much harder to use than elevation and azimuth when a quick fix is needed, especially if not familiar with the area. Would prefer to have this selectable in a settings menu.

Very Detailed
Beautifully designed!
The King Of Wands,
Worth it.
Great app, but don't stop working on it. How about a little detail on the zodiac and maybe an astrology mode. And what about Pluto. It may not be a planet, but it hasn't disappeared. This app has great potential.
Would love to see a top-down of the entire solar system so you can easily tell where the planets are in relation to others.

Whateveryo,
Love it!
A great app!

Zodiac dependent
I love this app because I use it to figure where the stars, moon and planets are aligned in the use of reading ones zodiac signs. By knowing someone's aligning planets and astrological sign you can figure out about their daily mood. I look to this app when ever I feel particularly over energetic or upset and see if it because of the alignments of that day.
River Riggs,
One of my favorite apps
This app is really well designed. I like the concept of showing the planets this way, with the rising and setting horizons shown. Clicking on the planets gives info about them, and there is also a pop up legend for the planet symbols and a star map. I'm very happy with it.

Location Services not working
So, it's tough to review the app when the Location Services setting keeps getting unchecked. This results in the app not knowing where you are- kind off important in an app like this...
-- updated to 3 stars from 1 for within hours of being notified of the problem they have confirmed the issue and are working on a fix- a very good sign!

Great App
I rated this app back in May 2011 and gave it one star. It has since then undergone an upgrade. It now works perfectly. I can see what is up at a glance. Very nice app.
