First of all, thanks for buying the app! Now let’s figure out where the problem is.

I just tested both the app on the iPhone and the app at astrology.com.tr. And they’re showing almost the same thing, the slight differences between when a planetary hour starts comes from the fact that the coordinates for Ankara on the website are a bit different than the ones you gave.
About the icons, they should be the same and if they’re not, there’s somewhere a wrong setting. This is how you should test: if today is Friday, than the first planetary hour should be Venus. For Saturday, it should be Saturn, then Sunday – Sun, Monday – Moon, Tuesday – Mars, Wednesday – Mercury, Thursday – Jupiter.
This is the first thing you should look for: if the day does not start with the right hour, than it means the app (or the website) is not showing the planetary hours for the current day. Look at the settings and make sure the right day is selected.
On the iPhone, the day is selected automatically, but you might have changed it by mistake.
The second thing to look for when looking at the icons, is the order in which the hours are displayed. The order is always this: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, then again Saturn, Jupiter, and so on.
Using this order, if today is let’s say Friday, then the hours should be: Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and so on.
Please make sure you have the right day selected also.

Come back here and add a comment if everything is ok but you still have the problem.

I bought the application.
I’m setting both GMT and Lat&Lng settings to automatic, it seems the inputs are true.
(City: Ankara, Country: Turkey, GMT:3, Lat:39.87 Lng:32.88)

The problem is, the result is different than this web sites calculator: http://www.astrology.com.tr/planetary-hours.asp

The time intervals are same but the sign of the planets are different.

And I’m not sure which is true..
Help please.

I was just wondering for a future release if it would be possible to have the Icon of the program change to reflect the current planet and perhaps even a small box that would show on the icon what time the next change would occur. i.e. a symbol of Venus showing the starting time of Mercury.

I’m not sure how hard this would be to implement, but I know it is possible as the stock iphone “Calendar” icon reflects the current weekday and date and changes daily. But this change would help greatly for working Magicians who will be able to at a glance know what the current hour is and how long is left to do a working (without having to navigate all the way into the program).

Kind Regards from Australia

please make sure the GMT offset is correct.

Here’s a couple of questions and suggestions:

1. what device are you running the application on? if you’re running it on an iPhone, the app will use your regional time setting and use the GPS to get your current location.

2. if you’re running the app on an iPod touch, you’ll have to specify on the Preferences screen the GMT offset, the Latitude and the Longitude.

3. Please tell me what values do you see in each field on the Preferences screen and I’ll help you configure the app correctly.

A question : why do some of the hours during the day come up in red ?

A suggestion : referring back to the person who suggested names of the planets. Could you perhaps create an additional page that has the planet symbols and their names that you could a) just swipe to the right to see and the swipe to the left to come back to the page with the hours, and/or b) have a button at the bottom next to the “i” button to take you to that page ?
